What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose half our weekend inquiries on Roth IRA conversions under the SECURE 2.0 Act. Now, it handles initial eligibility screenings flawlessly, and we've added three major high-net-worth clients in Q2 2023 without extra billable hours."
Elena Vasquez
Senior Tax Partner, Vasquez & Associates LLP
"Integrating this into our Clio Manage setup was seamless and took under two hours. It caught a critical IRS audit query on Form 1099 discrepancies at 2 AM last April, which led to a $50K forensic accounting engagement we would've missed. The SOC 2-compliant features give us peace of mind during peak filing seasons."
Michael Chen
Managing Director, Chen Financial Strategies, Inc.
"Our boutique firm was drowning in after-hours emails about multi-state SALT deduction credits post-TCJA reforms. The chatbot triages them perfectly with jurisdiction-specific prompts, cutting response times from 3 days to under 5 minutes. Revenue from follow-up estate planning consultations jumped 25% year-over-year in 2023."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot ensure compliance with tax attorney confidentiality rules?
Our chatbots are engineered with end-to-end encryption and adhere to ABA Model Rule 1.6 standards for client confidentiality. Every interaction is logged with tamper-proof audit trails, and sensitive data like SSNs is never stored in plain text. We conduct regular compliance audits, mirroring IRS protocols, to mitigate risks. In practice, this means your firm can handle queries on tax shelters or deductions securely, reducing breach exposure by 80% compared to email alone. Unlike generic bots, ours is trained to flag and redact PII automatically, ensuring ethical handling in regulated environments.
Can the chatbot handle complex tax code questions without attorney involvement?
Yes, but with smart boundaries. The AI is trained on current IRC sections, state variations, and your firm's precedents to provide accurate initial guidance—like explaining qualified business income deductions. For nuanced cases, such as multi-state nexus issues, it gathers details and escalates seamlessly to your team, preserving context. This hybrid approach resolves 65% of routine inquiries independently, per our legal deployments, freeing attorneys for high-value work. We customize the knowledge base quarterly to reflect tax law updates, ensuring reliability without overstepping professional boundaries.
What if a client needs urgent after-hours advice on an IRS notice?
The chatbot operates 24/7, immediately acknowledging urgent queries like CP2000 notices and providing preliminary info, such as response timelines. It then prioritizes escalation via SMS or email to on-call attorneys, including all client-provided details. In one case, a firm avoided penalties by triaging a late-night levy notice through our system. Integration with your calendar allows instant booking of emergency slots, capturing 90% more after-hours opportunities than traditional voicemail, while maintaining a professional tone suited to tax crises.
How is the chatbot integrated with our existing tax practice software?
We perform a bespoke integration with tools like QuickBooks, Thomson Reuters, or your CRM, using secure APIs for two-way data flow. For instance, it can pull client profiles to personalize responses on prior filings or push new leads directly into your pipeline. This creates a unified system, eliminating manual entry that plagues 55% of small tax firms. Setup takes 4-6 weeks, with minimal disruption, and includes custom UIs for monitoring chats. The result? A single source of truth that streamlines operations, much like consolidating disparate ledgers into one audited balance sheet.
What metrics will I see to measure the chatbot's impact on my practice?
You'll access a dedicated dashboard tracking key KPIs: response times (aiming for under 30 seconds), resolution rates (targeting 70% self-serve), lead conversion (up 50% typically), and compliance adherence (100% audited). For tax-specific insights, it monitors query types—like audit fears versus routine filings—and ROI, such as retainers from captured leads. Benchmarks show firms gaining $20K+ annually in new business. We refine these metrics based on your goals, providing monthly reports to optimize performance and demonstrate clear value in client retention and revenue growth.
Is the chatbot customizable for my firm's unique tax specialties?
Absolutely. We tailor it to your niche, whether international tax treaties or nonprofit exemptions, by ingesting your case library and style guides. The AI learns your terminology—think Form 1065 specifics—and adapts responses accordingly. This isn't a one-size-fits-all; it's built for your workflow, incorporating firm policies on fees or referrals. Post-launch, we iterate based on usage data, ensuring it evolves with your practice. Tax attorneys report 40% faster client onboarding, as the bot pre-qualifies based on your expertise areas, turning inquiries into targeted engagements.
