The Smith.ai Chatbot is a fully automated lead capture solution for the modern business. Intaker is a dedicated chatbot for law firms and lawyers that simplifies and automates lead capture.

Chatbots are a must and if you don’t know it by now, you should. If you haven’t integrated one or if you’re just not pleased with the one that you have, you don’t have to worry. There are plenty of great tools out there today. Of course, what your business needs will be much different than the next. It will be up to you to explore the options and find your perfect fit.

Intaker is aptly named-- the platform is all about making it seamless for you to bring in new clients and qualify leads, helping people transition through the customer journey to make it even easier for them. When you do this, you’re increasing your brand’s reputation and the customer loyalty that comes along with it. However, it focuses so much on lead capture it might overlook some areas of service.

Intaker offers decent features as an intake and lead capture bot. From a custom appearance to landing pages, interactive voice and video, and even chat transcript access, this app offers a lot. However, it also has a lot of features that are still in the works.

Smith.ai’s Chatbot and Intaker share a lot of the same features and offerings. However, some of the features that are offered by the two services are a bit different. For example, and the main reason that the Smith.ai Chatbot takes the lead, is that the chatbot offers more free features and included tools than any other platform out there. The Chatbot also offers automated responses and pre-screening questions, and so much more.

So, are you really going to keep double-paying for your chat tools, or is it time to streamline and let the Smith.ai Chatbot take the lead? We’re in favor of the latter, naturally.

What our customers are saying

“Great customer care and functionality. I love using Smith.ai. They do such a great job in following instructions on how I'd like my cases handled. I especially love the fact that I get email transcripts of all chats. I have never had incorrect information obtained (contact info) from any potential clients by Smith.ai. They are very detail oriented!”
Justie Nicol
"Smith allows us to converse with website visitors and turn them into potential clients. They've made it easier for us to be there at all times, even when we're not. We've worked with other vendors in the past and have found Smith.ai among the easiest to use. They're very responsive, they communicate well, and serve as our front lines for client communications."
Scott Peterson
“Simple way to start a great client experience. There are a lot of Chat options available, but this was a no brainer for us because of our great experience with Smith.ai as a company. Everything they do is focused on simplicity. Stuff just works. They make everything easy and have focused on hiring great people, which is evident by the way they treat us as a customer and the people that they chat with on our behalf.”
Brian Waller
“Love Smith.ai Chat! There is no way that I could staff a feature like that in house with my small business. Smith.ai makes the chat feature available around the clock. I am a lawyer and this feature is great for clients who are nervous or shy about making that initial phone call, or who are up thinking about the problem that they need help with outside of business hours. The Smith.ai Website Chat also integrates perfectly with my CRM/case management software. It has really been a boost to my business. I have tried other companies. Smith.ai is the best!”
