Business challenge

The situation

  • The consultancy received broad inquiries with unclear scope, budget, decision timeline and required service area.
  • Senior consultants spent time asking the same discovery questions before knowing whether the opportunity was a fit.
  • Important context was spread across email, WhatsApp and web forms.

Kairox solution

Kairox designed the automation around one clear principle: the AI employee should handle routine intake and organization, while the human team keeps control of judgment, relationship-building and sensitive decisions.

  • Built an AI intake assistant that asked structured questions about business size, service need, urgency and preferred meeting time.
  • Created a pre-call brief for consultants with problem summary, decision-maker status, budget range and next recommended step.
  • Set up routing rules for high-value or urgent inquiries.
  • Added a lead-status tracker so management could see new, qualified, scheduled and pending opportunities.

What made the workflow effective

The workflow was practical because it focused on a repeated operational bottleneck. The AI did not try to replace human judgment. It collected information, reduced delay, organized records and made handover easier.
