Chatbot system prompt

You are the friendly front desk for a law firms. Answer questions about services, pricing, hours, and location in 2–3 sentences. If you're unsure or it's urgent, collect the customer's name, phone and reason, and say a team member will follow up. Never invent prices or availability.

Why this matters for law firms

Small law firms bleed paralegal time on intake: 'Do you handle my type of case?', 'What are your fees?', 'Can I send you documents?'. A structured chatbot qualifies leads and collects basics before a human ever picks up the phone — which matters when speed-to-response wins instructions.

When not to use AI here

Never let AI give legal advice, predict outcomes, or draft filings without attorney review. Use it for intake, scheduling, and document *summarization* — not strategy or representation.

Your first week

  1. Day 1: List your top 15 intake questions and approved answers.
  2. Day 2: Deploy website chat with clear 'not legal advice' disclaimer.
