Frequently Asked Questions

How much does email triage automation cost for law firms?
The cost for email triage automation in law firms typically ranges from $3,500 for a basic setup to $10,000+ for complex integrations. This depends on factors like the number of email inboxes, the variety of message types (e.g., new client inquiries, court filings, vendor invoices), and integration with your existing CRM or practice management software.
Is there a monthly fee after the initial build?
No, there are no recurring Byzantium AI service fees after the initial build for the automation itself. You may incur minimal third party software costs, usually under $50 per month, for tools that power the automation, like Zapier or Make, depending on your usage volume. We ensure you understand all potential ongoing costs before project commencement.
What is included in the free systems audit?
Our free systems audit involves a deep dive into your firm's current email workflows, identifying bottlenecks in client intake, document routing, and administrative tasks. We map out how incoming emails (e.g., new client leads, discovery requests, billing questions) are currently handled and propose specific automation opportunities to streamline these processes. You receive a detailed report outlining potential savings and efficiency gains.
How quickly does this pay for itself?
Law firms typically see a return on investment within 3-6 months by reallocating paralegal or administrative staff time previously spent on manual email sorting and routing. Automating the initial triage of new client inquiries or court notices can save several hours per week, allowing staff to focus on higher value legal work. This directly translates to increased billable hours and reduced overhead.
