AI AGENT

Client Onboarding & Intake Agent for Service Businesses

The handoff from signed contract to actual work is where service businesses lose time. Clients forget to send the documents. You forget to remind them. By the time everything's in, you've already lost a week. This agent runs the onboarding so the engagement starts on time.

Live in as few as 3 business days

Who this is for

Service businesses where every new client requires a paperwork-heavy start: bookkeepers and accountants, wedding planners, lawyers, remodeling contractors, financial advisors, and consultants.

What changes

New clients move from signed contract to fully onboarded without manual nudging. Documents arrive, forms get filled, and the work starts on schedule instead of two weeks late.

What you get

Use cases
  • Send the welcome packet and intake form the moment a contract is signed
  • Trigger automated reminders for missing documents, signatures, and forms
  • Send status updates so clients know what's next without having to ask
  • Collect required documents through a structured upload flow, not email attachments
  • Notify your team when a client is fully onboarded and ready to start
Deliverables
  • Onboarding automation workflow built in your account (Make, Zapier, or n8n)
  • Intake form configured with conditional logic for your service type
  • Document collection portal (or integration with your existing one)
  • E-signature integration and reminder cadence (DocuSign, HelloSign, PandaDoc, etc.)
  • AI-generated reminder messages written in your voice
  • Documentation and a recorded walkthrough of the live system

Frequently asked questions

Will this feel impersonal to new clients?

The opposite. Clients usually read a well-run onboarding as 'this firm has its act together.' Messages are written in your voice and the system runs in the background, not in their face.

What if every client needs slightly different documents?

We build conditional logic into the intake. A new bookkeeping client and an audit prep client can hit the same starting point and end up with different document lists based on what they tell you.

Does this replace my CRM?

No. It works alongside your CRM. The agent handles the messaging and collection workflow, your CRM stays the source of truth for client records.

Do I own the automation after delivery?

Yes. Everything is built in your accounts. You own the workflows, forms, templates, and integrations outright.

What if something breaks after launch?

You get 14 days of post-launch support included. After that, Monthly Optimization keeps everything running and improving for $500/mo.

What does Monthly Optimization include?

I monitor your workflows for failures and fix them before they slow down onboarding. I tune the reminder cadence and message copy based on what's actually moving the document-return rate, swap in better LLM models as they release, and adjust the flow when your forms or e-sign tool pushes updates. Monthly call to review what's working.
