What it resolves

Intake, Court Dates and Case Updates Answered Without Pulling an Attorney Away

Connected to your practice management system, calendar and document storage, the AI agent answers from the client’s own matter. Legal advice, file releases and anything you mark go to an attorney.

A small business owner needs a commercial lease reviewed before signing next Friday; the AI agent fills the intake with the landlord and the deadline, a scan line runs down the conflict check with no matches and no conflicts found, a consultation with attorney Rina Patel is booked for Thursday at 10 AM, and the AI agent asks her to upload the lease
  • Practice system via API action
  • Calendly
Built with AI actions and MCP

Clients, matters, courts and amounts in the scenes are illustrative. Actions in your own systems run through the integration, API action or MCP server you connect.

One AI team

AI Agents for Clients, AI Help for Your Attorneys and Paralegals

Three agents share your intake rules, your matter data and one credit balance. Attorneys, paralegals and intake staff join as human agents at no seat cost.

  • In the client portal chat a client asks what to bring to the consultation; the Support Agent answers to bring the draft lease, the LLC papers and emails with the landlord, offers an upload button, and the conversation is resolved with no ticket

    For your clients

    Support Agent

    Answers in your client portal, on your website and by email from the client’s matter: dates, documents, next steps and invoices.

    Explore Support Agent
  • Four new tickets are tagged on arrival: an invoice question as billing, a client served with court papers as urgent litigation, an update to a will as a new estate matter, and a request for the client’s file as records needing review

    For every ticket

    Background Agent

    Sorts each new message by practice area and urgency and puts served papers and new deadlines at the top of the queue.

    Explore Background Agent
  • A long client thread folds into a three-point summary for the attorney: the landlord rejecting a cap on shared costs, rent now starting on 1 March, and the client wanting to sign by Friday; then a reply booking the call is drafted, with Improve tone, Translate and Insert reply buttons

    For your team

    Assist Agent

    Summarizes a long client thread for the attorney and drafts the reply that books the call, leaving the advice to the attorney.

Guardrails

No Legal Advice, No File Released Without an Attorney

The AI agent answers from the matter and prepares the work. Advice questions, file releases and fee arrangements go to the responsible attorney, and every step is on record.

  • Approval before sensitive actions

    Client file releases, fee agreements, payment plans and matter closures you mark wait for the responsible attorney.

  • A trace log of every step

    Each matter lookup, identity check, document shared and approval is recorded with its result and time, for your firm’s records.

  • Confidence-based handoff

    Questions that need legal advice, new deadlines and upset clients go to an attorney with the conversation so far, never a guess.

  • Role-based access to records

    Roles decide which attorneys, paralegals and staff see each matter, so screened lawyers stay out of it.

96% accuracy in G2’s independent AI agent test, +10 pts vs. average

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AI agent for law firm client support?

An AI agent for law firm client support is software that resolves clients’ requests, such as a new inquiry, a hearing date or a document request, instead of only answering questions about them. In BoldDesk it works from the client’s matter in your practice management system through API actions or MCP, and it never gives legal advice: those questions go to an attorney.

Can BoldDesk’s AI agent run client intake and conflict checks?

Yes. Through an API action to your practice management system, the AI agent takes the new client’s details, runs the conflict search on the parties and books a consultation through the Calendly integration. A possible conflict or an unclear match goes to your intake team instead of being booked.

Does BoldDesk work with Clio, MyCase or PracticePanther?

BoldDesk has no native Clio, MyCase or PracticePanther integration. These connect to the AI agent as API actions, or as an MCP server that exposes their tools, limited to the matters and actions you allow. BoldSign, Calendly, Stripe, Microsoft Teams, HubSpot and Dropbox are native integrations.

How does BoldDesk protect attorney–client confidentiality?

BoldDesk has a SOC 2 Type 2 report, is GDPR compliant, offers HIPAA compliance with a signed BAA, encrypts data with AES-256 and controls access with SSO, IP restrictions and roles, so each matter is visible only to the people working on it. BoldDesk does not decide what is privileged or give ethics advice; your firm’s rules decide what the AI agent may share, and its trace log records every step. AI services are turned off in HIPAA mode, so use the AI agent for requests that don’t involve protected health information.

How do I stop the AI agent from giving legal advice or releasing a client file?

Limit its skills to answers from the matter and your approved content, so any question that asks what the client should do goes to an attorney. Mark file releases, fee agreements and payment plans as approval-required; the AI agent prepares the action, waits for the responsible attorney, then runs it, and each step is saved in its trace log.

When does the AI agent hand a client to an attorney?

When a client asks for legal advice, has been served papers or faces a new deadline, mentions a settlement offer, is upset or complains, when its confidence is low, or when your rules say so, the AI agent passes the conversation to the responsible attorney or paralegal with the matter and what it checked. Anyone at the firm can take over an AI conversation in one click.

How is BoldDesk priced for a law firm’s attorneys, paralegals and intake staff?

Plans start at $99 a month, billed yearly, with 500 AI credits and unlimited human agents, so attorneys, paralegals and intake staff all work in BoldDesk at no seat cost. There are no per-resolution fees, and extra AI credits are $40 per 1,000.

Which channels and languages can a law firm’s clients use?

Clients and prospective clients can reach the AI agent on your website chat, in your client portal, by email and on WhatsApp, around the clock, and it replies in 40+ languages, so an inquiry that arrives at night can have a consultation booked by morning.
