An Ai Agent is not a chatbot with a script and three canned answers. It is trained on your business specifically: your services, your prices, what your fixed fee includes, your opening hours, the way you speak to clients and the questions your team gets asked every single week. It answers on every channel you use, at any hour, and it gets sharper the longer it runs because every real conversation it has can be reviewed and fed straight back into its training.
This is not a bolt on you pay extra for. The agents are part of the same platform your Wills, LPA, Executor Toolbox and probate journeys already run inside. That is what makes them worth having: the agent is not guessing at a stranger from a form. It can see that this person started a Will eleven days ago, stopped at the executors, has already paid, and asked about guardians last time. So it picks up where the client left off instead of starting the conversation again from nothing.
This is the part most firms get wrong when they buy an off the shelf chatbot. The client can tell it belongs to somebody else, because the widget is branded, the link redirects and the email comes from a platform they have never heard of. Ours does not. The chat sits on your domain, the texts come from your sender name, the calls ring your number and the emails leave your authenticated domain. As far as your client is concerned, they are talking to your firm, because they are.
The chat widget carries your logo and colours, the texts show your sender name, the emails leave your authenticated domain and the calls ring your number. No third party branding and no redirects to somebody else's site.
You decide what goes into its training and what comes back out. Your prices, your process, your wording. If you change a fee on Monday morning, the answer it gives on Monday afternoon changes with it.
You set the boundaries. What it will discuss, what it must never quote, when it has to stop and fetch a person, and whether it runs on its own or drafts every reply for one of your team to approve before it sends.
It books into your real calendar, not a request form. Your working hours, your travel buffers, your minimum notice, your daily cap and your round robin between advisers are all honoured before it offers a single time.
Every message, transcript, call recording and answer the client gave sits on your contact record in your account. We do not read it, market to it or sell anything off the back of it, and you can export the lot.
We train the first version from your website and your documents, you read the transcripts from the trial conversations, you correct anything you do not like, and it goes live. Most partners are running inside a week.
Nine stages. Your client does one of them, you do one of them, and the agent does the other seven while your office is dark and every competing firm within thirty miles is on voicemail.
A message on your website chat, a text to your office number, a WhatsApp, an Instagram reply, a question on your Google listing, or a phone call that would otherwise have rung out. It is usually the evening, because that is when people finally sit down and deal with this.
Not an automated reply saying somebody will be in touch during office hours, which is the point at which most people go and message the next firm on the list. A real answer to the actual question, in your firm's voice, while they are still sat there with their phone in their hand.
What a mirror Will costs at your firm. What your fixed fee includes. Whether you handle trusts or refer them. How long an LPA takes to register. Whether they need to come in or can do it from the sofa. It is answering from what you gave it, so the answer is the one you would have given.
Married or not, property or not, children under eighteen, a business, anything abroad, whether a partner is doing one too, and how soon they want it done. The answers are written into the contact record as they are given, so nothing has to be asked twice and nobody is retyping notes on Monday.
This is the difference between an agent and a chatbot. It reads your live calendar first, so the times it offers are times you can genuinely work, allowing for your hours, your travel buffers, your notice period, your daily limit and whose turn it is. It never promises a slot you would have to ring back and cancel.
The appointment goes into the right adviser's calendar with the notes attached. The confirmation goes out in your name straight away, and the reminders follow the day before and the morning of, which is most of the fix for people not turning up. Reschedule links are in every one of them.
The handover is one step, not a maze. The agent stops, tells the client a named person is picking it up, tags the conversation and alerts whoever on your team should have it, with the whole transcript attached. During office hours a call can be transferred straight through to a real handset instead.
This is the only part that needs you. You open the record and everything is in front of you: what they asked, what was answered, what they told it about the house and the children, where they came from and when they are booked in. You start at the useful part of the conversation rather than at hello.
Most people do not book on the first message and almost nobody finishes a Will in one sitting. The agent follows up across email, text, WhatsApp and a call, remembers the whole conversation rather than starting again, and knows which step of the journey they abandoned so it can talk about that instead of sending a generic nudge.
Any tool can be made to sound confident. In a regulated business that is the problem, not the feature. An agent carrying your name has to know exactly where the line sits between explaining how something works and advising a particular person on their own circumstances, and it has to stop dead at that line every single time. Ours is built to hand over rather than have a go.
The worst handover is the one where the client has to explain everything twice. This one does not.
Why the boundary is the selling point. Firms are right to be nervous about putting an automated system in front of clients, because the risk is not that it fails to answer. It is that it answers something it had no business answering, in your name, in writing, at eleven at night. Every question it refuses is a question that reaches the right person with the context already gathered, which is a better outcome than the one you have now, where that same enquiry sits on voicemail until Tuesday and gets answered by somebody else's firm first.
A new member of staff is worth more in their sixth week than their first, because they have heard the awkward questions and learned how your firm answers them. The agent works the same way. Every question it could not answer is flagged, you tell it the answer once, and it has it forever. Nothing you teach it ever leaves with anybody.
Almost nobody instructs you from the first message, and almost nobody finishes a Will in one sitting. Every enquiry that does not book, and every half finished application, triggers the same ladder.
A real answer goes back on the channel they used, in seconds. A missed call to your office gets a text back before they have finished dialling the next firm on the list.
Chat, social, SMS or missed callAn email in your name answering the question they actually asked, with a booking link to your live diary rather than a promise that somebody will be in touch.
EmailA short text offering two specific times. Short messages get replies that long ones do not, because they can be answered from a bus stop.
SMSA WhatsApp message that picks the conversation back up where it stopped, so it can mention the executors they got stuck on rather than sending a generic nudge.
WhatsAppA voice call offering to answer their questions or put time in with an adviser, for the people who would far rather talk than type.
VoiceIt stops. The contact is marked cold and dropped into your reactivation list, so they are worked again in a few months rather than chased forever.
Handed back to youYour prices, your fixed fee, what you refer out, your opening hours and who the client would be sitting with. It answers from what you gave it, so the answer is the one you would have given.
Real conversations are reviewed, the gaps are flagged, and the answers you give are written back into what it knows. Six weeks in, it is fielding questions it would have escalated on day one.
Real slots read from your live calendar, honouring your hours, your travel buffers, your notice period, your daily limit and whose turn it is. It never offers a time you would have to ring back and cancel.
Explaining what a service covers and how the process runs is fair game. Anything that amounts to advice on this person's circumstances stops and fetches a named human instead.
Your name, your tone, your sign off, on your domain and from your number. You can also run it in draft mode, where it writes the reply and a human presses send.
Which is when people actually think about this, usually the evening after a funeral, a hospital letter, or clearing out a parent's house and swearing never to put their own children through it.
Why the training matters more than the technology. Any firm can switch on a chatbot that answers from a website it has skim read. The value is in the hundred small things only your firm knows: that you do not do contentious probate, that your Thursday afternoons are court, that mirror Wills are one fee not two, that anything with a farm in it needs a quote. Give it those once and it never gets them wrong again, which is more than can be said for a locum on their first week.
An agent working overnight is only half the value. The other half is that you are told about it properly. Every meaningful thing it does raises an alert to the right person on your team, on the channel they actually read, so you open your laptop to a diary with appointments in it rather than a list of messages to work through.
D. Ellington came in on WhatsApp, asked whether they needed a solicitor for mirror Wills, confirmed a property and two children under eighteen, and took Thursday at half ten. Your calendar was checked before that time was offered.
A widow asking what happens to her late husband's share of the house. The agent stopped, told her James would come back to her first thing, and attached the whole conversation to her record. She has been called at 09:04.
Your office number would have rung out. It was answered in your name, the caller asked what an LPA costs, got your price, and is booked in for Wednesday. The recording and transcript are on the record if you want to hear it.
Somebody asked whether you handle Wills where there is land in two counties. It said it would find out rather than guess. Answer that once this week and it will never need to ask again.
Twenty three conversations, six booked, two passed to a person, one question for training and nine chases sent to people who had gone quiet. One email, waiting for you with your coffee.
Choose per alert type. A handover in the middle of the evening can ring through by text while the summary and the training questions stay in email where they belong.
Advisers get the qualified enquiries, the front office gets the calls, you get the things the agent could not answer. Nobody wades through alerts that are not theirs.
If a handover is not picked up inside your window it moves to the next person, and then to you. A client who was promised a call back does not sit waiting because somebody was on annual leave.
Chat, texts, WhatsApp, social messages, emails and call recordings sit on one contact record with the answers the client gave. You can read exactly what was said before you pick the phone up.
Twenty minutes, screen shared, on a real branded account. Message the agent yourself and watch it answer, ask it something it should refuse, then see it check the diary and book you in. Bring your hardest question.
