LegalScout

By General Counsel Online, Inc. d/b/a LegalScout

Overview

LegalScout connects you with opted-in law firms and their AI associates. Search by practice area or firm name, then talk through intake in this chat—or open the firm’s associate page for voice and portal tools. Existing clients can sign in with their portal email to check matters, talk to their matter associate, add notes, and get portal links. Discovery and prospect intake work without signing in; matter tools require client authorization.

Tools

consult_with_associate

ChatGPT

Talk to a firm's prospect AI associate in this chat (text intake). Pass session_id to continue. If this conversation already has a session_id, reuse it — do not call whoami or list_matters to continue. Before ending, confirm with the user, then call again with the same session_id and end_session=true (also set confirm_end=true when this parameter is available) so the brief completes with structured Briefs columns. If needs_confirmation is returned, ask confirmation_prompt then call again with end_session=true — that second end_session finalizes even when confirm_end is missing from the tool schema. Relays associate_reply — do not invent answers.

get_connector_howto

ChatGPT

Return easy setup steps for connecting LegalScout in Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, plus a website snippet firms can publish so visitors ask the LLM to find them.

get_prospect_associate

ChatGPT

Get one discoverable prospect AI associate by subdomain, attorney id, or firm name. Next step is consult_with_associate in this chat (associate_url is optional browser voice/widget).

search_attorneys

ChatGPT

Search LegalScout for law firms that enabled AI-app discovery. Returns prospect AI associates the user can talk to for an intake consultation. Use when the user wants a lawyer, legal help, or a named firm. If filters return zero matches, results may be auto-broadened (see fallback_used / host_note) — tell the user the search was expanded rather than concluding no firms exist.

start_consultation

ChatGPT

Start talking to a firm's prospect AI associate. Prefer this or consult_with_associate when the user wants an intake conversation. If user_need is provided, begins the chat and returns the associate's first reply + session_id for follow-ups.
