What is a legal chatbot?

What is a chatbot and where would I use a chatbot in my legal firm?

A chatbot is quite simply a computer programme or an Artificial Intelligence which conducts a conversation via “auditory” or “textual” methods online. It may simply be scanning for words it recognises in the question you type into your browser or phone. Chatbots typically pop up on websites asking if they can help you.

The simplest versions will help visitors find something on your website. So a visitor tells it, in their own words, what they are looking for and it […]

AI and law firms

Artificial Intelligence and what it means for law firms…

Search “What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)” on Google and you’ll get more answers than you can shake a stick at. Ask what that means in law firms and you’ll be there for hours…

So, it’s all about computers having inbuilt “intelligence”, that enables them to learn from experience and to thereby improve their […]

There, […]

enquiries from your website

How can I help you today? Using AI to develop intelligent chatbots…

Chatbots are one AI tool that many of us will already be familiar with. We’ve met them online when browsing a website and up they pop asking if they can help. And how frustrating is it when you ask them a question but then find they’re actually live people, and are currently “unavailable”?
