Workup Agent for law firms: a 24/7 AI intake agent

For law firms

Intake that is already done when you open it

Workup answers every enquiry the moment it arrives, works it through your intake questionnaire, and delivers a file your team can act on. The firm that calls back first usually signs the client, and this one calls back in seconds.

Nights, weekends, holidays

Injuries do not happen during business hours and neither do the searches that follow them. The agent is the same at 2am as at 2pm.

Your questionnaire, not a form

Personal injury, workers compensation, mass tort, employment, immigration. Separate flows, your acceptance criteria, your language.

Bounded on purpose

No legal advice, no case evaluation, no promises about outcomes. The limits are written into the agent and they hold.

What it asks, and why it matters

Good intake is not a long form. It is the right question at the right moment, and the follow up a form cannot ask. A few examples of the difference.

Form asksWorkup Agent asksWhy it matters
Date of injuryDate of injury, then whether the employer was told and on what date Late notice ends more workers compensation claims than any other single failure
Were you hurt at workWhether anyone other than the employer was involved Surfaces the third party claim that sits alongside the comp claim and is routinely missed
Describe the accidentWhether any driver was arrested for or suspected of DUI In Pennsylvania this restores full tort rights to a limited tort policyholder
Have you seen a doctorWhen, where, and whether imaging or surgery followed Documented treatment is what separates a file worth opening from one that is not
NothingWhether anything has already been signed A signed release changes the whole picture and your team needs to know today

Deadlines get flagged, not discovered later

The agent computes against the dates it collects and marks the file when the clock is the problem. It never tells the claimant what their deadline is, because that would be legal advice. It tells your team.

  • Reporting windows for work injuries, which differ by state and are short
  • Notice periods for claims against public bodies, which are shorter still
  • Limitation periods approaching, and files that appear to have passed one
  • Minors, deaths and catastrophic injuries routed straight to a human
The line it will not cross

The agent explains general process. It does not tell anyone whether they have a claim, what it is worth, whether a deadline has passed, or whether to accept an offer. Those are legal judgments about specific facts, and answering them would be practising law. It says so plainly rather than guessing, which is also better for the person asking.

Where it sits in your stack

Files land in Litify, Salesforce or your case management system as real records with your fields populated, not as an email someone has to re-key. Urgent files page the intake line instead of queueing.

Before the consult

They arrive prepared, and prepared people sign.

The gap between an enquiry and a signed retainer is mostly friction. The client half remembers the dates. The intake coordinator asks the same eight questions every firm asks. Somebody has to call back twice. Every one of those is a place the matter quietly dies.

What normally happens

  • Form at 9pm. Nobody sees it until morning.
  • Intake calls at 11am. No answer.
  • Calls again next day. Gets them.
  • Twenty minutes of basic questions, most of which the client is guessing at because it has now been three days.
  • Consult booked for the following week. Half of them do not turn up.

What happens instead

  • Answered at 9pm, while they are still reading and still upset enough to talk.
  • Your questionnaire runs there and then, while the detail is fresh.
  • Dates, treatment, employer, insurer, prior claims: captured in their own words.
  • Consent recorded properly, with the exact wording and timestamp.
  • A finished workup on the desk before anyone has opened the office.

Why this matters at signature

A client who has already told their story once, in order, does not experience the consult as an interrogation. It becomes a conversation about what happens next, which is the conversation that ends in a signed retainer. The lawyer's judgment is still the lawyer's: the agent gathers facts and never decides whether there is a case.
