- AI Chatbot is a client-facing support widget embedded in your portal and website
- It answers questions using your firm's knowledge base and the client's actual records
- Routine queries are resolved instantly; complex queries are routed to the right team member
- 34 AI model options — configure the intelligence level per use case
Here's a number that surprises most firms: roughly 60% of inbound client queries are procedural. "When will my documents be ready?" "What do I need to send you?" "Has my payment been received?" "Can you send me a copy of the signed agreement?" None of these require expertise. All of them take someone's time.
Multiply that across a practice of any meaningful size and you're looking at hours per day — hours that qualified professionals spend copy-pasting file updates and resending PDFs. The AI Chatbot handles this category of query completely, without routing it to your team at all.

What a client conversation actually looks like
That exchange resolved two client queries, accessed the actual client file in real time, and took zero seconds of a team member's time. At 9pm on a Tuesday.
What the chatbot knows about your clients
The key difference between HubSecure's AI Chatbot and a generic FAQ bot is that it has access to the client's actual record — with appropriate permissions. When a client asks about their file, the AI checks the live database. It doesn't guess; it looks. This makes answers accurate in a way that rule-based chatbots fundamentally cannot be.
The AI has access to:
- Document submission status (what's been received, what's pending)
- Matter progress (current stage, next steps)
- Billing history and outstanding invoices
- Appointment and callback scheduling
- Your firm's knowledge base (policies, process explanations, FAQ content)
It does not have access to privileged matter content, internal compliance notes, or any information flagged as confidential-internal. The permission boundaries are configured by you during setup.
Use cases across professional services
Law firms
Matter status updates, document checklists, appointment booking, billing queries. Clients get real-time answers without bothering their solicitor.
Accountancy practices
"Has my tax return been filed?" "When is my VAT deadline?" "Can you send me last year's accounts?" — all handled automatically.
Financial advisers
Portfolio update requests routed to the right service, suitability review scheduling, document request fulfilment — all without adviser time.
Immigration practices
Application status, document requirements, processing time estimates — the most common source of client anxiety, handled 24/7.
Escalation: knowing when to hand off
The chatbot knows what it can handle and what it can't. When a query requires professional judgement — a question about legal strategy, a complaint, a sensitive compliance concern — it escalates immediately: creating a service desk ticket, notifying the right team member, and letting the client know they'll hear back within a defined timeframe. No pretending to know things it doesn't. No leaving clients hanging.
The compliance consideration: The AI Chatbot is configured to never give advice that constitutes regulated advice under your professional rules. It answers process and status questions. For questions that involve legal, financial, or compliance opinion — it escalates. This boundary is configurable and auditable. Every conversation is logged in the client record.
34 model options — right-size the intelligence
Not every client portal needs frontier AI. A simple FAQ widget for a website doesn't need the same model as a deep-integration portal chatbot with live database access. HubSecure's AI Chatbot lets you select from 34 model options — lightweight models for simple use cases (fast, cheap, accurate for FAQ queries) up to frontier models for complex, context-heavy client interactions. The routing is configurable; the interface is the same.
Can the chatbot book appointments?
Yes — it integrates with your calendar and can offer and confirm appointments based on team availability, then create the calendar event and send confirmations to both the client and the team member.
Is the chatbot available on mobile?
Yes — it's embedded in the client portal which is fully mobile-responsive. Clients can access it from any device without installing an app.
