Thinqbox handles the setup, the training, the updates, and the reports.
Your firm never thinks about it again.
Every call answered. Every lead captured. Every month, a report on what it earned you.
The legal industry has one intake problem. It's not that firms don't have good lawyers. It's that potential clients call at 9 PM on a Friday and get voicemail — and call the next firm on the list. Thinqbox fixes that. Permanently. And you never have to think about it again, because we manage everything.
Every inbound call answered in under 2 seconds, 24/7. Intake completed. Appointments booked. Urgent calls escalated with a live summary before it rings your attorney.
Core service · Includes after-hours, weekends, holidaysAI chat embedded on your firm's website. Answers questions, qualifies leads, and books consultations in real time — without a human touching a keyboard.
Embedded · No developer required · Live same dayFacebook Messenger, Instagram DMs, WhatsApp Business, and email — all handled by the same AI. Plus outbound follow-up to leads who reached out and didn't book.
Facebook · Instagram · WhatsApp · Email · SMSWe've watched technology projects fail in law firms for 13 years. The pattern is always the same: a big-bang rollout, a retraining week, staff resistance, and a product that never quite gets used the way it was designed.
Thinqbox works the opposite way. We enter at the edge — handling the calls your team is already missing — and expand only when the previous phase has settled invisibly into your workflow. No disruption. No retraining days. No moment your staff have to change how they work.
We iterate. We refine. We move forward only when we've earned the right to.
By month three, your firm hasn't adopted an AI product. It has simply become more capable. Nobody remembers the rollout — because there wasn't one to remember.
We start exactly where your team isn't — calls outside office hours. Zero change to your existing workflow. Your staff don't notice. Your clients get answered.
When your receptionist is on another call, we pick up. Parallel capacity. No extra hire. The monthly brief shows exactly what was caught that wouldn't have been.
Full intake flows, Clio logging, appointment booking. The AI runs your front desk. Your staff are doing higher-value work — and they feel the difference.
Chat, social, outbound follow-up — added only when the phone layer is invisible and stable. We never move a phase forward before the last one is settled and proven.

Smith.ai pricing per public rate cards as of Q1 2025. One criminal defense firm reported a $1,847 bill in a single month after a news feature drove unexpected call volume. With Thinqbox, your cost doesn't change when your phone gets busy.
We built Thinqbox specifically for law firms — not adapted from a generic product. That means we designed the guardrails before you thought to ask for them: the edge cases, the conflict-check moments, the callers in distress, the conversations no AI should handle alone.
Every guardrail, escalation rule, and intake protocol was designed around legal practice — not bolted on after the fact.
Legal-first AI architectureYour client conversations are never used to train AI models. Our enterprise agreement with OpenAI contractually prohibits it.
Contractual zero-training guaranteeDistressed callers, conflict checks, after-hours emergencies — pre-built escalation logic so your AI never oversteps.
GPT-4.1 Enterprise · AWS · Encrypted end-to-endEvery call, booking, intake form, and message syncs directly into your existing stack. Your receptionist AI lives inside your workflow — invisible, automatic, always current.
"My client said she didn't realise she wasn't speaking to a person until I told her. That's the first AI product I've trusted to represent my firm."
"We were missing 30% of our after-hours calls. That number was invisible to us until the first Thinqbox report arrived. That report paid for the service ten times over."
"I'm a solo practice. I can't afford a receptionist and I can't afford to miss calls. Thinqbox solved both problems for less than what I pay for coffee in a month."
One call. We walk through your current call volume, where leads are slipping through, and what the AI can realistically return to your firm in month one. No pitch. No deck.
No setup headaches. No IT required. Results in 30 days or your first month is free.
