Chatref deploys an intellectual property chatbot grounded in your own legal documents, automatically resolving trademark, patent, and copyright inquiries. It handles routine IP tasks through custom actions and delivers actionable insights, while serving clients consistently across web, email, WhatsApp, and more.

Automate IP inquiries with an AI agent trained on your data

Chatref’s AI agents give you an intellectual property chatbot that answers client questions directly from your own patents, trademarks, policies, and case documents. There is no guesswork – every response is grounded in your material, so you can safely automate IP inquiries about filing procedures, status checks, classification, and prior art without the risk of hallucination.

Streamline routine tasks with custom actions inside the chat

Beyond answering questions, your Chatref agent can perform work through custom actions. Collect IP application details, gather client information for a new trademark search, or trigger internal workflows – all without leaving the chat. This turns your AI customer support platform into an active assistant that reduces manual steps for your IP team.

One Chatref agent supports IP inquiries everywhere your clients are. Deploy the same bot on your law firm website, in email, or through Slack and WhatsApp, with full context preserved across channels.
