An AI that answers a Georgia law firm's phone sits inside the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct — including the advertising and solicitation rules the Supreme Court of Georgia rewrote effective March 1, 2026. Kesio is built so the safe behavior is the only behavior. This is the page to forward to the partner who asks "is this allowed?" — and where Georgia has no rule, it says so rather than inventing one.
The Georgia rules that govern who contacts your prospective clients — 7.2 and 7.3 — each state a maximum penalty, and it is disbarment. That is exactly why it matters who answers your phone, and what they are allowed to do next.
Rewritten by Supreme Court of Georgia order S24U0172, effective March 1, 2026. Every communication the system sends carries the responsible firm's name and contact information, as Rule 7.2 requires — and nothing publishes or sends without the firm's approval.
Georgia bars soliciting prospective clients by live telephone contact. Its own commentary expressly excludes text messages and written communications a recipient can easily disregard — so our follow-up to a prospective client is text and email, never an outbound robocall.
No soliciting personal-injury or wrongful-death matters within 30 days of the incident, no contact after a do-not-contact request, no overreaching. Our intake records incident dates, so the blackout is enforceable as a rule of the system, not a line in a policy document.
Georgia has no AI-specific rule or opinion. What the State Bar's Generative AI Toolkit does is map AI onto the rules that already bind a firm — competence (1.1), confidentiality (1.6), prospective clients (1.18), and supervising nonlawyer assistants (5.3). We operate as that assistant: supervised, logged, and reviewable.
The national backdrop. The AI does intake and booking only — never legal advice. If a caller asks whether they have a case, the assistant says plainly that it cannot advise, and gets them to an attorney.
Nothing sends without consent on file, quiet hours are enforced in the recipient's own time zone, and SMS goes out through a registered carrier campaign — the carrier registration is the 2–4 weeks nobody can speed up.
Every claim above is built into the product, not written into a policy document — and on a call we will happily walk through how each one is enforced.
