From writing messages all day to approving drafts

Firms of 10–17 people where most of the business comes in through WhatsApp and email, and where the partner spends about 4 hours a day answering messages. We designed a single inbox with the reply already written, a daily WhatsApp briefing and tracking of onboarding, offboarding and payments. The team approves instead of writing. Everything that goes out is signed by a person at the firm.

Starting point

  • ~4 h/day of the partner spent only answering messages.
  • 100+ WhatsApp messages and ~50 emails a day; ~80% of the business comes in through WhatsApp.
  • ~200 contracts in the book (≈ 65% self-employed, ≈ 35% companies).
  • The client estimates that 70–80% of the work is mechanical (verbal estimate, not measured).

Estimated impact

Team: 9 people × 25 min/day × 220 days ÷ 60≈ 825 h/year.
Partner: from ~20 h/week on messages and admin, 9–13 h/week are recovered.
The hours do not turn into payroll savings: they are capacity to grow without hiring.

How the human decides

No bot talks to clients; everything that goes out is signed by a person at the firm. Autonomy is earned task by task, revoked with a message, and every action is logged.
