Calling, texting, and intake from any device. Powered by AI that answers when your team is in court, in a meeting, or with another client.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can XBert handle client intake calls?
Yes. XBert AI answers incoming calls when your team is unavailable, captures caller details and case information, qualifies leads based on your criteria, and books consultations directly on your calendar. After every call, you get an AI-generated summary with the intake details so your attorneys can prepare before the consultation.
Is call recording compliant with my state's consent laws?
Nextiva supports configurable call recording with customizable consent announcements. You can set recordings to play one-party or two-party consent notifications depending on your state’s requirements. Recordings are stored securely and accessible through your admin portal for compliance documentation.
Does Nextiva integrate with my practice management software?
Nextiva integrates with major CRMs and productivity tools including Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Zendesk, and more. For legal-specific tools like Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, and Smokeball, integrations are available through Zapier and direct API connections. A Chrome extension is also available for browser-based workflows.
Can I keep my firm's existing phone numbers?
Yes. Nextiva ports your existing numbers for free. Local numbers typically transfer in 3–5 business days, toll-free numbers in 7–10 business days. Your current numbers keep working throughout the process, so there’s no gap in client communication. You can start using Nextiva immediately with a temporary number while the port completes.
How does the AI handle confidential client information?
XBert operates within strict guardrails that you define. It captures intake information and answers questions about your practice, but it does not provide legal advice or discuss case specifics. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. You control what the AI can and cannot discuss, and all conversations are recorded and transcribed for your review.
How quickly can my firm get set up?
Same day. Download the NextivaONE app, log in, and start making calls. The XBert AI Receptionist can be configured with your practice details and go live within hours. Number porting runs in parallel so you can use Nextiva immediately while your existing numbers transfer over.
Will AI replace my receptionist or support staff?
XBert is designed to support your team, not replace them. It handles the calls your staff can’t get to — after hours, during court, when lines are busy. Your team stays focused on high-value work while XBert ensures no potential client goes unanswered. Many firms use XBert alongside their existing staff to extend coverage without adding headcount.
