Professional services

An AI receptionist for professional service firms that runs your intake.

Explain your services, collect a useful project brief, and help arrange an introductory conversation. Your specialists keep control of the advice and commitments.

An AI receptionist for professional services answers new client inquiries while your specialists are with clients. InsertChat’s assistant explains your services and fees from your published information, collects a brief for an introductory call, books consultations on your calendar, and leaves advice, quotes, and commitments to your team.

EXAMPLE WORKFLOW · Email inquiry

Turn a client inquiry into a useful project brief

A prospective client sends an inquiry while your team is with clients.

“We need help setting up monthly bookkeeping for our small team. What do you need to get started?”
01

Explain your process

Use your service descriptions, onboarding checklist, and published FAQs to answer the practical questions.

02

Collect a useful brief

Capture the business, the help they need, and their preferred contact details in the conversation.

03

Prepare the next step

Help arrange an introductory call or prepare a follow-up for review, using the tools and permissions you choose.

Your team sets the boundaries

Your team reviews bespoke quotes, professional advice, and commitments before they go to a client.

Illustrative scenario. Answers depend on your sources; actions depend on your connected tools and permissions.

What it handles for professional firms

Answers come from the knowledge you add. Anything on the urgent list follows the handoff rules you set.

Handled by your assistant

  • Questions about your services, process, and published fees
  • Intake questions by practice area or service line
  • Consultation and discovery calls booked into open times
  • Document checklists and what to bring to a first meeting
  • Office hours, locations, and parking
  • Messages for a specific advisor, with the details they need

Sent straight to your team

  • Requests for legal, tax, financial, or coverage advice
  • Deadlines such as court dates, filing dates, or policy lapses
  • Existing-client matters that need their advisor
  • Fee disputes and complaints
  • Anything that needs a licensed professional
  • Upset callers

What it asks and what it needs to know

Details it collects

  • Name, phone, and email
  • Business or individual client
  • Service or practice area needed
  • A short description of the matter or project
  • Deadlines and key dates
  • How they found your firm
  • Preferred consultation time

What to add to its knowledge

  • Service lines and practice areas
  • Fees, retainers, and consultation costs you publish
  • Intake questions for each service
  • Onboarding checklists and documents to bring
  • Which advisors handle which work
  • Your engagement process, in general terms

Can it book consultations?

Yes. Connect your calendar and the assistant offers open consultation times, books the one the client picks, and sends a reminder by text or email. Requests outside your booking rules go to your team.

Which firms use it?

Law firms (including personal injury, immigration, family, and criminal defense practices), accounting firms, insurance agencies, financial advisors, mortgage brokers, IT and managed service providers, staffing agencies, architects, interior designers, funeral homes, and other firms that run on client intake. Each page below covers that firm’s calls, intake questions, and handoff rules.

Can it screen out inquiries that aren’t a fit?

Yes, within your rules. Add the services you don’t offer and the questions that qualify a matter, and the assistant explains when you can’t help, records the inquiry, and books consultations only for the work you take on.

Does it give professional advice?

No. It explains your published services, fees, and process and collects the facts for a first meeting. Questions that need legal, tax, financial, or coverage advice are marked for a licensed member of your team.

How much does an AI receptionist for a professional firm cost?

Paid plans start at $98 per month with one phone number, monthly credits, 3 assistants, and 3 team seats. Firms with more staff in the inbox can choose Growth, with 5 seats, or Scale, with 10. New customers can try Pro free for 7 days.
