AI Agent that Handles Legal Intake

Built for Lawyers and Managers

Tired of digging through vague forms, guessing who is actually qualified, and chasing people for missing information? Does it feel like you have to play detective just to figure out which leads are worth your time?

This AI agent reviews each intake as it comes in, checks the case type and jurisdiction, and flags anything unclear so nothing slips through the cracks. It keeps everything organized without messy spreadsheets and gives you a clear set of qualified leads ready for follow-up.

What to Expect

A fully automated AI agent that reviews every legal intake form the moment it arrives and qualifies leads without manual sorting or second guessing.

It checks the client’s location, reads the case details, and confirms if it fits your firm’s scope. If it is a match, you get an alert with all the information you need. If details are missing, it follows up with a polite email, and if the case is outside your criteria, it sends a kind rejection so your time is never wasted.

The agent runs continuously, keeping your pipeline clean and organized while you focus on real cases. No digging through forms, no chasing for information, just a smooth start to finish intake process that works in the background.

The old way?
Done manually.

Here’s what the old process looked like:
Read every form submission line by line
Decode vague summaries and missing details
Double-check state laws and practice areas
Write custom replies for each outcome
Log everything manually into a spreadsheet
One lead could take twenty minutes, and if you were tired or distracted, something got missed or worse, someone never heard back.

The new way?
Fully automated.

With this automation, the entire process gets handled for you:
Stop guessing which leads are worth your time
Stop rewriting the same emails over and over
Handle every intake from form submission to final reply automatically
Categorize each lead as Qualified, Declined, or Needs Info and send the right email instantly
Log every interaction in Google Sheets for a clean, timestamped record
You stay focused on practicing law, and the agent quietly keeps your intake running smoothly in the background.

How the Automation Comes Together

Your entire legal intake process runs through one connected automation that handles everything from first contact to final follow-up.

n8n catches each new form submission through a webhook, while GPT-4 reviews the details and checks them against your firm’s rules for jurisdiction, case type, and clarity.

Qualified leads trigger an instant attorney notification, declined cases receive a polite rejection email, and incomplete submissions prompt a request for more details. Every outcome is logged in Google Sheets with the client’s name, contact information, case summary, status, and the AI’s reasoning, all clean and timestamped.

Tools used to build this AI agent

n8n

The brains behind automation. Triggers, routes, conditions—it handles everything.

Google Drive

Send the right email to the right person at the right time, no typos, no delay.

OpenAI

Reads and evaluates the form data like a real intake paralegal.

Google Sheets

Stores every lead, every decision, every note—clean and searchable.

What You'll Gain

Real-time screening

The AI checks jurisdiction and issue type instantly without manual review.

Instant replies, zero effort

Polite, tailored emails go out automatically based on the case type.

No more drafting

You never have to write a rejection, follow-up, or confirmation again.

Everything logged

Each lead, status, and AI explanation is saved in your Google Sheet, clean and timestamped.

Nothing slips through

Follow-ups are automatic, and every intake gets a response with no dropped balls.

What We Actually Tell the AI

This is the exact prompt we send to GPT-4o. It takes the raw form inputs and turns them into clear, natural messages your team would be comfortable sending.

Legal Intake Classification Prompt

Instruction Prompting → Sets the assistant’s role as a legal intake assistant for a U.S. employment law firm, with the task of classifying new leads.

Scope Definition → Clearly lists which case types (wrongful termination, discrimination, etc.) and which states (CA, NY, TX, IL, FL) the assistant should accept.

Constraint Prompting → Provides explicit rejection rules (non-employment issues, outside states, vague/missing info) to enforce boundaries.

Classification Guidance → Defines three possible outcomes (QUALIFIED, DECLINED, NEED INFO) and when to use each.

Output Formatting → Requires a strict JSON structure with keys ("Outcome," "Reasoning," "Missing Info") to ensure machine-readability.

Variable Injection → Inserts dynamic lead details (e.g., ${json["Full Name"]}, ${json["Issue Description"]}, ${json["Location"]}) directly into the evaluation context.

We automate, you accelerate

We'll handle the tech so you don't have to.

You don’t need to set up or learn how automation works.
Our AI agents are built to run fully hands-off, like a clone that handles the repetitive tasks for you.

Need something custom? We’ll handle it all including:

What is prompt writing and optimization?

It is the process of crafting and refining instructions for AI so it understands the task, delivers accurate results, and formats the output exactly how you need it.
What we do exactly?
Understand your context and use case
Help optimize and rewrite your prompts
Test and refine outputs until it’s working perfectly

What is automation flow design and testing?

This is where we map out how your AI agent behaves: when it runs, what it checks, how it reacts, and what to do if something fails. We don’t just build it. We test it end to end.
What we do exactly?
Design the full logic and decision tree
Add fallback steps for edge cases
Run multiple rounds of testing before launch

What are tool integrations?

We connect your AI agent to the tools you already use. Email, spreadsheets, CRMs, databases, APIs, and more. Everything stays in sync without you needing to copy and paste a thing.
What we do exactly?
Identify which tools your agent needs to talk to
Set up reliable two-way connections
Ensure smooth data flow across systems

What is delivery setup?

Delivery setup means we make sure your AI’s output gets exactly where you need it. Whether that's your inbox, a Google Sheet, your Slack channel, or a CRM.
What we do exactly?
Configure where and how outputs get delivered
Format results so they’re ready to use
Schedule timing or triggers for delivery

What is ongoing maintenance and updates?

AI agents aren't set and forget. We handle updates to prompts, workflows, and integrations so your system keeps working as your needs change.
What we do exactly?
Monitor performance and catch issues early
Update logic, prompts, or tools as needed
Keep everything running behind the scenes

Let us handle it for you.

Just send us an email and tell us the task that is wasting your time and we’ll design the agent and run it in the background.

Or, enter your email and we'll send you how to get started.

Frequently asked questions

We’ve covered the usual questions. Got a unique one? Send us an email

What happens if someone submits an incomplete form?

The agent catches it right away. Instead of ignoring the lead or flagging it for manual review, it sends a polite email asking for the missing info—automatically. No follow-ups fall through the cracks.

Can I change which states or case types we accept?

Yes. You just update the AI’s rules—no code needed. Want to add a new state or stop handling severance cases? Change the list in the prompt and it kicks in immediately.

Do I need to be technical to use this?

Not at all. It’s built in n8n, which uses visual workflows. You don’t need to write code—just follow the logic blocks and make edits when needed. If you’ve used Zapier or Airtable, you’ll feel right at home.

Built to be Cloned

This intake automation setup is ready to use and easy to adapt. You can add your own firm’s criteria and have it running in minutes, whether you handle employment law, immigration, or anything in between.

If you are tired of messy forms, manual reviews, or wasting time on unqualified leads, this gives you a faster and cleaner way to qualify clients.

The system is already built. Copy it, adjust it to your scope, and start processing leads with less effort and more accuracy.
