The first conversation, handled with care.

ZAAN AI Interview conducts the intake call you never have time for. It speaks thirty-eight languages, listens for what matters, and hands your associates a brief that's already half-drafted — with citations to every word the client said.

Capabilities

Three things, done quietly well.

Talk

Sub-300ms voice agent in 38 languages. Handles interruptions, switches register from formal to plainspoken, never sounds like a chatbot reading a script.

VOICE · TEXT · MULTI-CHANNEL

Listen

Real-time entity, jurisdiction and statute-of-limitations extraction. Picks up what the client is saying — and what they're carefully avoiding.

SIGNALS · CITATIONS · HESITATION

Brief

A structured intake brief lands in your associate's inbox before the client hangs up — with timestamps, transcripts, conflict checks and a fit score.

Discovery

Asks what a junior would, knows what a partner does.

Trained on twelve thousand recorded intake calls from seven jurisdictions, Interview knows which question opens a door — and which one closes it. It probes the right ambiguities and leaves the rest alone.

  • Branching by matter type. 240+ playbooks for personal injury, employment, immigration, family, commercial, and growing.
  • Plain-English to legalese. Translates "the boss kept changing my hours" into variation of contractual terms — Fair Work Act §62.
  • Conflict-aware. Cross-checks names, ABNs and counterparties against your matter database in real-time.
  • Knows when to stop. Flags when it's outside scope — your partner gets a heads-up, the client doesn't get a sales pitch.

Thanks for reaching out, Maya. I'm going to ask a few questions so the right person at Linden & Hart can call you back this afternoon. Sound okay?

Yeah, that's fine. It's about the apartment we bought last year — there's cracks in the walls.

Got it. Sorry to hear that. Could you tell me when you first noticed the cracks, and whether they've changed since?

Brief

The handoff your associates actually want.

Every call produces a structured brief — facts, parties, jurisdiction, statute of limitations, suggested matter type, even a fit-score against the partners on your rota. Each field links back to the second of audio it came from.

  • Cite-back to the call. Hover any field to hear the exact moment the client said it. No more "did they really say that?"
  • Statute of limitations math, done. Computed the moment a date is mentioned, jurisdiction-aware, flagged in red if < 90 days.
  • Routes itself. Lands in Clio, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, or your homegrown PMS — with the right tags already on.
  • Editable, accountable. Every change tracked; the AI's draft never overwrites a lawyer's edit.
Empathy layer

Hears what isn't said.

We trained Interview alongside trauma-informed clinicians. It detects hesitation, urgency and confidence in real-time — and slows down, simplifies, or escalates accordingly. Vulnerable clients aren't a feature flag; they're the default mode.

  • Pace adapts. Long pauses don't get filled — they get held.
  • Plain language by default. Never says "tortious interference" when "what they did was wrong" will do.
  • Human handoff, instantly. Clients can ask for a person at any moment — and get one within 90 seconds in business hours.
  • Discloses itself. Says it's an AI, in the first sentence. Records consent, every time.

ZAAN 04:36 Take your time. When you say worse — could you describe what changed?

CLIENT 04:48 I really need to know if we have a caseU1, because the warranty thing — someone told me there's a deadline? I don't know if we... I don't know if it's too lateH2.

ZAAN 05:02 I understand. Based on your settlement date, you have time — let me explain why. And then I'll arrange for a partner to call you back today.

Personal legal assistant

A secure assistant for every client.

Most "AI for law" treats every matter as a fresh prompt. ZAAN doesn't. Every client gets their own private database — their facts, their voice, their history — that your firm owns and the model uses to remember. Sealed by client. Sealed by matter. Sealed by jurisdiction.

private · per client · per matter

One client, one memory, forever.

Mrs. Chen's first call was about a tenancy dispute in 2023. Two years later her son asks you to review an SPA. ZAAN remembers her voice, her drafting preferences, her aversion to escrow holdbacks — and that the family trust still owns the Wan Chai property. Nothing leaves the matter. Nothing trains the model.

Sealed by matter. Each client has their own encrypted vault.
History sticks. Every prior matter is one click away.
Style learned. Tone, formality, redline taste — picked up over time.
Conflicts checked. Every new matter cross-checked against the firm.

One client, one database

Every client gets a private encrypted vault — their facts, files, transcripts, and prior briefs. The model only sees their vault when working on their matter.

Learns each client's voice

Some clients want formal, footnoted English. Some want the executive summary in Cantonese first. ZAAN learns each client's preferences from accepted redlines and edits — and writes for them, not for everyone.

Firm-wide conflict checks

Every new intake is cross-checked — counterparty names, beneficial owners, related entities — against every active and historic matter at the firm. Before the call ends, not after the engagement letter is signed.

Red-line alerts

The model knows your firm's red lines: drafting positions you'd never accept, jurisdictions you won't take work in, classes of clause that always trigger a partner review. When one shows up, it stops and tells you.

Red-line breach · clause 8.4Uncapped indemnity exceeds firm policy (cap = 1× fees). Partner review required.

Critical-case detection

Some intakes are not routine. A statute-of-limitations cliff in 48 hours. A criminal exposure. A child-protection issue. ZAAN flags these the moment they surface — and pages a partner, even at 3am.

Air-gap & offline mode

For state-secret matters, classified arbitrations, prison interviews, regional offices with no reliable network. The whole assistant runs on a sealed laptop or on-prem appliance. Syncs when you're back.

Your firm's prior precedent — clauses you've drafted a thousand times, fall-back positions, the standard carve-outs that took twenty years to write — flow into every assistant. Without leaking client identity.
