Find answers to common questions about ClaireAI

Getting Started

ClaireAI is an AI-powered virtual receptionist designed exclusively for law firms. We handle your incoming calls 24/7, conducting intelligent legal intake, screening for conflicts, scheduling consultations, and integrating seamlessly with your existing practice management software.

Unlike traditional answering services, ClaireAI uses advanced conversational AI to ask relevant follow-up questions, evaluate case potential, and ensure no lead slips through the cracks—even after hours.

Most firms are up and running within 3-5 business days. The setup process includes:

  1. Day 1: Onboarding call to discuss your intake process and requirements
  2. Days 2-3: Our team configures ClaireAI for your practice areas and integrates with your CRM/calendar
  3. Day 4: Testing phase where you can review sample calls and provide feedback
  4. Day 5: Go-live with monitoring and support

Enterprise clients with custom requirements may need 1-2 weeks for complete implementation.

No special equipment needed! ClaireAI works with your existing phone system. You simply:

  • Forward calls to your dedicated ClaireAI number (we provide this)
  • Or set up call routing rules to send after-hours calls to ClaireAI
  • Or replace your voicemail with ClaireAI

If you use a VoIP system like RingCentral or Vonage, we can integrate directly for seamless routing.

Yes! We offer a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. During the trial, you'll get:

  • Full access to all features in your chosen plan
  • Dedicated onboarding support
  • Up to 50 calls handled at no cost
  • Integration with one CRM or calendar system

If you're not satisfied, simply cancel before the trial ends—no questions asked.

Features & Capabilities

ClaireAI performs real-time conflict checks during the intake call by:

  1. Collecting names of all parties involved in the case
  2. Cross-referencing against your client database (via CRM integration)
  3. Flagging any potential conflicts before booking a consultation
  4. Creating a detailed conflict report for your review

Important: ClaireAI provides preliminary conflict screening as a tool. You remain responsible for final conflict determinations under your jurisdiction's ethics rules.

ClaireAI currently supports:

  • English - Full conversational capability
  • Spanish - Full conversational capability

The system automatically detects the caller's language preference and conducts the entire conversation in that language. All transcripts and intake notes are provided in both English and the caller's language.

Additional languages (Mandarin, French, Vietnamese) are coming in Q2 2025.

Yes! ClaireAI identifies urgent matters based on your custom criteria (statute of limitations deadlines, emergency orders, etc.) and immediately alerts your on-call attorney via:

  • Phone call to designated mobile number
  • SMS text message
  • Email notification

You can set up escalation rules (e.g., call Attorney A first, if no answer within 2 minutes, call Attorney B) to ensure urgent matters are handled promptly.

ClaireAI is highly accurate for legal intake tasks, but like any AI system, it's not perfect. Our accuracy metrics:

  • 98.7% accuracy in capturing contact information
  • 96.4% accuracy in case type classification
  • 94.8% accuracy in conflict detection (when integrated with CRM)

Important safeguards:

  • All calls are recorded and transcribed for your review
  • You maintain final decision-making on case acceptance
  • ClaireAI escalates to a human when uncertain
  • You can review and edit intake notes before consultations

ClaireAI is transparent about being an AI assistant. At the start of each call, it introduces itself as "Claire, your AI intake specialist for [Your Firm Name]."

This transparency is important for:

  • Ethics compliance: Many bar associations require disclosure of AI use
  • Caller comfort: People appreciate knowing they're talking to AI
  • Expectation setting: Callers understand why they're being asked specific questions

That said, ClaireAI's conversational ability is natural enough that most callers have seamless interactions without noticing they're not speaking with a human receptionist.

ClaireAI is trained to handle legal intake, but if a caller asks something outside its scope (specific legal advice, case status updates, billing questions), it will:

  1. Politely explain it can only help with scheduling and intake
  2. Offer to connect the caller with your office during business hours
  3. Take a detailed message for follow-up
  4. Optionally escalate to an on-call attorney if configured

You'll receive a notification whenever ClaireAI escalates a call or takes a message.
