AI Automation › Law Firm › Chicago
Chicago's legal market doesn't slow down for weather. Neither should your intake.
Build My Pulse deploys an AI agent that keeps answering calls and booking consultations no matter what the Loop's phone traffic looks like on a given day.
Chicago's legal scene stretches from the Loop's high-rise practices out through the neighborhoods and into the collar suburbs, and the calls firms field range from winter accident claims to employment disputes tied to the city's largest employers. When an ice storm hits, intake lines get slammed in a matter of hours, and a firm without round-the-clock coverage misses the exact window when those cases are easiest to win. Most firms handle this with Build My Pulse, our done-for-you deployment that has the agent live in two weeks; if you'd rather configure and run it yourselves, Pulse also ships as a self-serve product starting at $500 a month.
We also deploy Pulse for law firm operators across Illinois, including Miami, Tampa, Orlando.
The problem
What slows Law Firm businesses down in Chicago
Winter weather turns into sudden bursts of injury and accident calls that bury intake staff for a day or two at a time.
Metro and suburban clients call after hours and hear nothing back until the next business day.
Referrals from other Chicago attorneys and past clients sit unqualified for days and cool off before anyone follows up.

FAQ
Can it handle sudden spikes in calls after bad winter weather?
Yes. The agent scales instantly to handle surges in accident-related calls, so a spike after an ice storm gets answered and qualified without overwhelming your staff.
How quickly can we launch?
Two weeks from kickoff with Build My Pulse. We configure intake logic and follow-up sequences in week one and go live in week two.
Does it work with the tools our firm already uses?
It integrates with common legal case management and CRM platforms used across Chicago firms, so your existing workflow doesn't change.
Can it manage referral leads specifically?
Yes, it can be configured to prioritize and quickly qualify referral leads from other attorneys or past clients, since those tend to convert fastest when followed up on promptly.
Do we have to go with the done-for-you build, or can we run it ourselves?
Both paths exist. Build My Pulse is the two-week, fully managed setup. If your firm has someone comfortable running the system day to day, Pulse's self-serve tier at $500 a month lets you configure and operate it directly.
