WhatsApp AI for firms and professional services
How to guide inquiries, collect background information and hand off to the professional without giving out-of-scope advice.
In a nutshell
In professional services, automation should focus on general guidance, requirements, scheduling and triage. Professional opinions and decisions stay with qualified people.
A safe scope
Define which general information is approved and which topics always require a professional. Replies should avoid interpreting an individual case as if it were a diagnosis or advice.
A clear limit protects both the client and the firm.
- Services offered.
- Initial documentation.
- General fees, if approved.
- Topics reserved for the professional.
Triage without diagnosing
You can identify the area, stated urgency and availability, but not conclude the merits or outcome of a case.
If there's an emergency, direct the person to the appropriate channels defined by the business.
- Reason in the client's own words.
- Relevant deadline or date.
- Contact details.
- Priority based on explicit rules.
Documents and privacy
Don't ask for sensitive documents before explaining what they're for and how they're protected. When possible, use a suitable channel or process instead of scattered attachments.
Limit internal access and retention.
- Purpose.
- Secure channel.
- Role-based access.
- Confirmation of receipt.
