AI intake, triage & document collection
Glad you stopped by. I answer every request, screen it with your rules and get each case ready. Now, what are we fixing first?
What is an AI intake and triage system?
An AI intake and triage system answers people on your website, WhatsApp and SMS at any hour, asks the screening questions your staff would ask, checks eligibility with clear rules, books appointments for the right people, collects the documents each case needs, and sends everything to your case-management system — so your team spends its time on cases, not on the phone.
The problem
More requests than people to answer them.
Drag the handle to see what changes.
- Calls go unansweredSmall teams cannot pick up every call, so people who need help never get through.
- Repetitive questionsStaff spend hours answering the same questions instead of working on cases.
- Slots go to ineligible applicantsWithout pre-screening, appointments go to people the organization cannot help.
- Missing documentsPeople arrive without the papers they need, causing delays and repeat visits.
- Answers at any hourReplies on your website, WhatsApp and SMS, day and night.
- Common questions answeredIt answers what your staff hear every day, so they can work on cases.
- Screened before bookingEligibility is checked with your own rules before a slot is offered.
- Documents arrive completeA personal checklist, secure upload from a phone and reminders.

Screens with your own rules
It asks the questions your staff would ask and checks eligibility with clear, written rules — no guessing.

Only people your organization can help are offered a slot; everyone else gets self-help options or a referral.

Each person gets a checklist of exactly what to bring, uploads securely from a phone and receives reminders.
- 05
Hands a ready case to your team
The case lands in the system your team already uses, prioritized, with a dashboard for volumes and reporting.

Questions
Security, accessibility & technology.
Is it secure enough for sensitive data?
It is built for sensitive data: encryption in transit and at rest, multi-factor authentication or single sign-on for staff, role-based access and audit logs. It can run in your own cloud account (for example Microsoft Azure), so your data stays under your control.
Is it accessible?
Yes. It is mobile-first, designed to WCAG 2.2 AA, and written in plain language for people with low digital literacy.
Which technology do you use?
We choose what fits your organization, for example Microsoft Azure (Bot Framework, Communication Services for WhatsApp and SMS, Azure OpenAI, AI Document Intelligence, Power BI) or models from OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude) and Google (Gemini), connected to your systems through their APIs.
Who is it for?
Organizations that receive more calls, messages and applications than their staff can answer: legal aid and nonprofit organizations, clinics, public services and service businesses.
