Voice AI Intake
Last updated: September 29, 2026
Overview
Voice AI is a phone agent that answers intake calls, collects the caller's details, and produces a structured summary of the conversation on the matter or lead.
It connects through call forwarding from the firm's existing phone system, so there is no new phone infrastructure to run.
What It Does on a Call
Answers the call when the office is closed or the team is at capacity
Talks the caller through collecting their details and the matter information
Produces a structured summary for review
Creates a new lead in Eve after the call, and where a lead system is connected, pushes the data there too
When It Answers
This is a firm setting rather than a fixed behavior. Some firms route every intake call to the agent. Others use it only after hours, or only for overflow when staff are unavailable.
Transfers to a Person
The agent can hand a live call to a colleague based on rules the firm sets. Rules are prioritized and can route to different numbers depending on the situation, which is how a firm reserves particular case types for human intake while letting the agent handle the rest.
Transfer rules are evaluated before signing rules, so a call that matches a transfer rule goes to a person rather than being offered a retainer. See 📄 Voice AI Signing in Eve.
Languages and Call Audio
The agent speaks over 30 languages. Quality is validated in English and Spanish, and varies for less common languages. The Communications Agents article states over 30.
Call audio playback is a firm setting. Where call listening is enabled, the audio plays back from the call's details. Some firms choose not to turn it on.
What Voice AI Does Not Do
It does not make outbound calls. Calling clients and insurers is a communications agent.
It does not run a conflict check. Conflicts are handled by the firm's own intake process.
It does not replace the phone system. Calls reach it by forwarding, and the firm's phone setup stays as it is.
