Receptionist
AI employee · Front desk · Phone
Takes intake calls in your firm's name, follows your intake script, books or texts the summary.
A prospective client who reaches voicemail calls the next firm. Maxxus.ai hires you a receptionist that takes intake calls in your firm's name without giving legal advice, a setter that books consultations into the calendar you open, and a collections agent that follows up unpaid invoices with the decorum your practice expects, each disclosing that it is an AI.
The moment
An AI receptionist answers in your firm's name, asks the matter type and the caller's situation in the words your intake script uses, checks the conflict questions you list, and books a consultation or texts you the summary. It never characterizes the merits of a case.
The roster
Three jobs from the roster, each briefed on your law firm. Hire one to start; the others share the brief.
