A field guide for accounting, recruiting, and advisory firms on using AI agents to run intake, gather documents, follow up on missing items, and keep the system of record current.
Most people meet AI through a chat window, where they ask a question and it answers one turn at a time. An agent takes the next step. It runs on a trigger, works across the tools you already use, and hands a person the moments that call for judgment.

A trigger sets it going. Nobody has to open a tab or remember to send the follow-up.
It reads email and forms, updates scheduling and the CRM, and moves information where it belongs.
Anything sensitive, urgent, or judgment-heavy goes to the right person with the context attached.
A missing document, an incomplete intake, or an unlogged update can stall an engagement that is otherwise ready to move. A steady coordination layer keeps files complete so the team spends its hours on billable, expert work.
Each one has a clear trigger, a bounded job for the agent, a defined handoff to a person, and a measurable outcome. Select a workflow to open the full path.
A prospect or returning client starts a request.
Asks service-specific questions, checks the request for completeness, and routes it by type, urgency, and relationship.
Questions of conflict, fit, pricing, and advice stay with the firm.
The team receives a structured brief in place of an email chain.
An engagement is missing required items.
Maintains a personalized checklist, sends approved reminders, and confirms each item as it arrives.
Questions about sufficiency or interpretation go to the assigned professional.
Less repetitive chasing and fewer files stalled on one unknown item.
A call, form, or email creates a new client action.
Summarizes the interaction, updates approved fields, assigns the next task, and flags anything uncertain.
Sensitive notes and relationship decisions stay human-reviewed.
