Answers every call
Nights, weekends and the lunch hour. Callers get a real conversation, not a voicemail box.
The AI employee that answers your firm's phone
Octoclerk picks up every call, day or night. It takes the intake, texts back anyone you missed, books the consult, and emails you a clean summary of each call.
Built first for law firms. Founding pilot spots are open now.
Eight arms. One clerk. Every call handled.
Here is what your clerk does, so you and your staff can stay on the work only you can do.
Takes the intake
Name, number, what happened and how urgent it is. Every question asked the same way, every time.
Texts back missed callers
If a caller hangs up before anyone answers, they get a friendly text within moments.
Books the consult
Offers the times you choose and puts the appointment on your calendar.
Emails you the summary
One short email per call, with who called, what they need and what happens next.
Sends the follow-ups
Reminders, forms and thank-you notes go out on time, so nothing sits in a pile.

Built on a real assistant
Octoclerk comes from the assistant I built for my own business, Commercial Lending Solutions. Her name is Bev, and she works from her own phone line, her own inbox and her own computer.
- Has her own phone number, text number and email inbox
- Keeps one memory across calls, texts and email
- Works from her own computer, in accounts I own

What running it costs: your own providers bill you for phone, texting, AI and hosting at their rates, with no markup from us. Most firms should expect roughly $100 to $400 a month, mostly driven by call minutes. That is an estimate, not a cap, and it is paid to the providers for service used.
Prices and timelines on this page are for planning. They become binding only in a written agreement signed by your firm and Octoclerk.
Careful by design
Law firms hear private things. Your clerk is built to be trusted with them. How we handle data
- Never gives legal advice. It does not promise outcomes. It collects details and hands the matter to you.
- Says it is an AI. It tells callers in its first sentence, and again if asked. Callers are never tricked into thinking they reached a person.
- Announces recording. Every recorded call starts with a notice, which California's consent rules require.
- Your data stays yours. Intake lives in your firm's own accounts.
- Only calls and texts back people who contacted you. No cold outreach.
- Your counsel signs off. Scripts are written around State Bar advertising and solicitation rules, and your attorneys approve them first.
Questions firms ask
Does it give legal advice?
No. It never gives legal advice or promises an outcome. It gathers the caller's details and passes the matter to your firm.
What if a caller wants a person?
Your clerk can transfer the call to someone you choose, or take a message and send it to you right away.
What does it cost to run each month?
There is no monthly fee to Octoclerk. You pay your phone, texting, AI and hosting providers directly, usually about $100 to $400 a month, mostly call minutes.
What if it does not work at my firm?
That is what the guarantee is for. We agree on measurable goals in writing first, and the last 30% is due only after they are met. If it still misses them 60 days after go-live, you can ask for a refund of everything you paid Octoclerk. Read the guarantee.
When does missed call text-back start?
As soon as carriers approve your business texting registration. That approval can take up to five business days, and we handle the paperwork.
Where does my intake data live?
In your own accounts. We set them up in your firm's name, so you keep everything if we ever part ways. More on security.
Is this only for law firms?
We are starting with law firms. If you run a small professional office that lives on the phone, tell us about it.
