Thousand Cuts

Service 1 of 4 — closes: intake

Briefs arrive however they want. They get filed anyway.

AI intake triage reads every request — form, email, or "quick ask" in chat — classifies it, picks the right project template, maps the fields, assigns the owner, and sets the priority. Vague requests bounce back with the questions already asked.

Re: before / after

The same Tuesday, twice.

Before — manual
09:00 AM request lands in shared inbox 10:40 AM producer notices, opens PM tool 11:15 AM re-keys 14 fields from the email 11:30 AM wrong template. starts over 02:10 PM emails requester: "quick question…" NEXT DAY project finally exists
After — triaged Automated
09:00 AM request received → parsed 09:00 AM classified: packaging refresh 09:00 AM template matched, 14 fields mapped 09:01 AM owner assigned, priority set 09:01 AM requester gets scope questions 09:02 AM project exists. nobody typed.

FIG. 1 — Same request, minus the day of latency.

Re: how it works

Three steps, all logged.

Step 1 — Parse

Every request, one shape

Forms, emails, and chat asks get read and normalized against your intake schema — whatever the requester typed, however incomplete.

Step 2 — Classify

Right template, right owner

The request is matched to a project template in your PM tool, fields mapped, owner and priority set by your routing rules.

Step 3 — Bounce or build

Vague in, questions out

Complete requests become projects in about a minute. Incomplete ones bounce back to the requester with the missing questions already written.

Re: proof

Running now, at a national health system.

11:03 AM intake form parsed → 3 requests 11:03 AM templates matched, projects built 11:04 AM owners assigned. 0 re-keyed.
1 form → done

One submission becomes routed, templated, owned work — untouched by hand.

Re: questions you'd ask

FAQ

What tools does it work with?

Workfront, Asana, Monday, Wrike, and most PM tools with an API. The triage layer sits in Make, n8n, or Workfront Fusion — wherever your automations already live.

What happens to requests it can't classify?

They route to a human queue with the AI's best guess attached. Nothing is silently dropped; every decision is logged.

How long is the build?

Two weeks from teardown to running system, tested against your real intake backlog — not demo data.

Re: next step

Put your intake form out of its misery.

Book a teardown 30 minutes. We map your intake and price the waste.
