01 — The problem

Two gaps make good work harder.

A new enquiry can go cold while it waits for a reply. After engagement, FICA follow-up can take time away from billable work. Alexander is built to help with both.

INTAKE

Respond while the enquiry is still warm.

Alexander asks the first questions on WhatsApp, records matter details, and can route a suitable enquiry toward a consultation.

ONBOARDING

Keep the FICA chase moving.

After a client is ready to proceed, Alexander requests missing documents and tracks what has arrived for attorney review.

The first launch

A focused pilot with KZN firms.

Vance & Vector Studios is validating Alexander with commercial law firms in KwaZulu-Natal. The aim is to test how well the agent handles real intake and onboarding workflows before expanding beyond the pilot.

01 — Intake

Every enquiry answered in minutes.

Alexander greets WhatsApp enquiries, asks initial questions, runs a basic conflict pre-check, and can book a consultation into the firm's calendar.

WHAT ALEXANDER GATHERS

The details the firm needs to review.

Name and contact details, matter type, urgency, and budget range. The flow helps route the enquiry to the right person for review.

ATTORNEY JUDGMENT STAYS HUMAN

Screening is an initial check.

The conflict pre-check is basic screening, not a legal determination or a guarantee that a conflict does not exist. The firm reviews the enquiry and makes the decision.

02 — Onboarding

FICA chased, not just logged.

When a client is ready to proceed, Alexander can request outstanding FICA documents, track what is still missing, and notify the responsible attorney when the file is ready for review.

DOCUMENTS

One dedicated place.

Documents are saved to a dedicated Google Drive folder and tracked against the matter, rather than left in a chat thread.

CORE PACKAGE LIMIT

Arrival is tracked; contents are not read.

The core package records which FICA documents arrive. Reading and verifying their contents is available through the Document Content Review add-on.

03 — Try the workflow

See the conversation from the client's side.

Request the KZN pilot number, then message Alexander as a prospective client would. Use a fictional test scenario rather than real client or matter information.

Common questions

Before you try Alexander.

Data protection · Plain language

Your clients' information,
handled with care.

This page summarizes the approach described for the Alexander KZN pilot. The firm's agreement and actual workflow should be reviewed before launch.

Your firm stays in charge

Under POPIA, your firm is the responsible party. Vance & Vector acts as operator, processing information on your instructions under a written agreement.

Only what intake needs

Alexander asks for name, contact details, matter type, urgency and budget range. FICA documents are requested only when a client is ready to proceed.

Documents in one place

FICA documents are saved to a dedicated Google Drive folder and tracked against the matter rather than left in a chat thread.

No legal advice, no guessing

Alexander does not give legal advice. Out-of-scope or sensitive enquiries are passed to an attorney.

Where data may be stored

WhatsApp, Google and hosting providers may store data outside South Africa. The operator agreement lists the services used and applicable safeguards.

Access and deletion requests

If a person asks to access or delete their record, the firm can instruct Vance & Vector to remove it from Alexander's systems.

This is general information, not legal advice or a representation that a firm's obligations are automatically met. Each firm should confirm its obligations and review the operator agreement and service configuration.

Demo access

Only share what the trial needs.

The access request asks for basic professional contact details to provide the KZN pilot number. Please do not enter client names, matter facts, FICA documents or confidential information.
