AI assistant for solicitors: new intakes and case queries organised
Enquirers e-mail, message and call simultaneously, and clients ask for an update. Slimbot groups all messages per person, collects basic data for intake and leaves the substantive assessment where it belongs: with the solicitor.
Good afternoon, I have a dispute with my employer about my dismissal. Can I have a conversation with a solicitor?
Assistant's draft
Good afternoon, sorry to hear that. I'll help you with the request. What is your employer's name and since when has this been going on? A solicitor will assess your situation during the conversation.

In practice
What comes in at solicitors' offices — and what Slimbot does
"I'm looking for a solicitor for a tenancy dispute."
The assistant briefly asks about the situation, the other party and when it's happening, and offers an intake appointment. You assess whether you can take on the case.
"Can you ask my solicitor to call me back?"
The request appears on the client card of the handling solicitor, with the number and preferred time.
"Here are the documents you requested."
Attachments arrive with the right client; the solicitor sees that something has been submitted.
"What is the status of my case?"
No substantive answer from the assistant: the query goes to the solicitor as a draft or task.
"Is my appointment on Thursday still going ahead?"
Confirmation or rescheduling based on the diary, with a reminder beforehand.

Ask a question as a client of a solicitor
Choose a question and see how the assistant responds. These are pre-written example answers (not live AI). In your own account, the assistant bases itself on your own data, and you decide whether an answer goes automatically or for approval first.

Your office mailbox and business number, plus the chat on your website.

Distribute across the team
Per solicitor or per area of law, with your own order of handling.
Features
What you get
Features that Slimbot has today. No promises we don't keep.
Request intake details
Name, area of law in brief and who the other party is: the assistant asks the questions so you can do the conflict check quickly. The assessment remains with you.
One file per person
E-mail, WhatsApp and chat from the same client are together on the client card, with notes from your team.
Assign to the right solicitor
New messages with the handling solicitor, with status open or completed, so nothing gets missed.
Schedule intake meetings
Offer available slots from the connected calendar, with a video link if the client prefers.
Reminders for documents
A friendly reminder for missing documents or an appointment, from your own number and approved by you.

From €14.95 per month
Excl. VAT, from the live price list. Start with a free account; a subscription only begins when you accept it.
No. The assistant does not give advice, does not assess cases and makes no statements about your chances. It gathers information, provides practical information from your own texts and prepares everything for the solicitor.
Can I choose myself what the assistant may answer?
Yes. You decide whether the assistant only prepares drafts that you approve, or answers simple questions such as opening hours and working methods itself. You don't let it say anything independently about cases.
What about the confidentiality of messages?
Slimbot runs on Dutch servers and we work in accordance with GDPR. You decide who in your team sees which conversations. What you do or do not discuss with clients via WhatsApp remains your own professional judgement.
Can clients send documents via WhatsApp or e-mail?
Yes. Attachments arrive with the conversation and the client card of that person. Which channel you want to use for which documents, you determine in your own working method.
Does Slimbot replace our practice management system?
No. Slimbot handles client contact and intake. Files, hours and invoicing remain in your own system.
What does it cost?
You start with a free account without a credit card and can cancel monthly. Current prices are on the pricing page.
