Question 1

What is AI-powered legal intake?

Accepted Answer

AI-powered legal intake is an automated system that handles the initial client screening process for law firms. Instead of a receptionist or paralegal manually answering calls and asking screening questions, an AI agent like Casey from Get Day AI conducts the full intake conversation — gathering case details, checking for conflicts, assessing urgency, and scheduling consultations — all by phone, 24 hours a day.

Question 2

How does Casey, Get Day AI's legal intake agent, qualify potential clients?

Accepted Answer

Casey follows a custom qualification framework built specifically for your practice area. For a personal injury firm, Casey asks about the incident date, type of injury, medical treatment status, and whether another attorney is involved. For a family law practice, Casey screens for case type, jurisdiction, urgency, and opposing counsel. Every qualifying question is configured during setup with your managing attorney to match your firm's exact intake criteria.

Question 3

Is AI legal intake compliant with attorney-client privilege?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Get Day AI's legal intake system is designed with attorney-client privilege in mind. All call data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is restricted to authorized firm personnel, and the system does not share or sell any caller information. The AI acts as an agent of the firm for intake purposes, maintaining the same confidentiality standards as a human receptionist or intake specialist.

Question 4

What practice areas work best with AI intake?

Accepted Answer

High-volume practice areas see the strongest results: personal injury, criminal defense, family law, immigration, bankruptcy, and workers' compensation. These areas share common traits — high call volume, time-sensitive leads, and structured screening criteria that translate well to AI. Get Day AI's Casey agent serves law firms across Atlanta and nationwide in all of these practice areas.

Question 5

How many more cases can a law firm capture with AI intake?

Accepted Answer

Law firms using Get Day AI's intake system typically see a 35-50% increase in qualified consultations booked within the first 60 days. The improvement comes from three sources: capturing after-hours calls that previously went to voicemail, reducing hold-time abandonment during business hours, and instant follow-up speed that prevents leads from calling competing firms.

Question 6

What happens when a caller has an urgent legal matter after hours?

Accepted Answer

Casey is programmed with escalation protocols specific to your firm. If a caller describes an active arrest, an emergency protective order situation, or another time-sensitive legal matter, Casey can immediately transfer the call to the on-call attorney, send a priority SMS alert, or both. The system distinguishes between routine intake calls and genuine emergencies.

Question 7

Does AI intake integrate with legal practice management software?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Get Day AI integrates with Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Smokeball, and other major practice management platforms. When Casey completes an intake, the contact record and case details are pushed directly into your PM system — no manual data entry required. For firms using custom or legacy systems, Get Day AI's team in Atlanta can build custom integrations.

Question 8

How does AI intake compare to hiring an intake specialist?

Accepted Answer

A full-time legal intake specialist in Atlanta costs $38,000 to $55,000 per year plus benefits. They work 40 hours per week, take vacations, and can only handle one call at a time. Casey works 168 hours per week, handles multiple simultaneous calls, never takes PTO, and costs a fraction of a full-time salary. For firms that already have intake staff, Casey handles overflow and after-hours calls.

Question 9

Can the AI handle bilingual intake?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Get Day AI's Casey agent supports bilingual intake in English and Spanish, with additional languages available on request. For law firms serving diverse communities in Atlanta and other major metro areas, bilingual capability means no caller is turned away due to a language barrier. The AI detects the caller's preferred language and switches seamlessly.

Question 10

How do I get started with AI legal intake for my firm?

Accepted Answer

Deployment typically takes 48 to 72 hours. The setup process includes defining qualification criteria, mapping escalation protocols, integrating with practice management software, and testing the system with simulated calls before going live. Get Day AI operates on month-to-month terms rather than long-term contracts.
