Description
AI is opening new possibilities for how legal aid programs manage client intake, especially on high-volume phone hotlines. One promising application is the use of AI voice agents to help screen callers and ensure that only people who qualify for services are connected with staff. This technology can help reduce long wait times, cut down on duplicate and unnecessary intakes, and free up staff to provide direct services and help more people.
Join Virtual AI office hours on 9/30/25 at 10:00 am* to learn about Legal Aid Chicago's AI voice agent pilot project. Chief Strategy Officer Cynthia Sadkin will share why Legal Aid Chicago turned to AI, what they’ve learned, and where the project is headed.
If you are interested in learning how AI can be used responsibly for client screening and intake, this office hours meeting is not to be missed.
