Your Onboarding Agent. Every new patient, user, or candidate gets a seamless first experience.
First impressions compound. A patient who has a smooth intake experience is more likely to show up for their appointment, follow through on treatment plans, and recommend the practice. A SaaS user who reaches their "aha moment" in the first session converts to paid at 3x the rate of users who don't. A candidate who has a professional, responsive recruitment experience is more likely to accept an offer and refer their network. Onboarding is not just an administrative process -- it is the moment where lifetime value is won or lost.
The Onboarding Agent orchestrates the entire first-touch experience. It collects required information through guided flows that adapt to the individual's responses. It triggers the right downstream actions (insurance verification, feature activation, reference check initiation) at the right time. It provides contextual guidance that helps new users, patients, or candidates get oriented quickly without requiring a human to walk them through every step.
Critically, the Onboarding Agent knows when to hand off. A patient who expresses anxiety during intake gets routed to a human who can provide reassurance. A SaaS user who is stuck on a technical step gets connected to support. A candidate who has questions about compensation gets escalated to the recruiter. The agent handles the routine mechanics so that humans can focus on the moments where personal connection matters most.

Escalates individuals who express confusion, frustration, or emotional distress to a human for personal support

Cannot override rejection or ineligibility decisions made by upstream systems or human reviewers
How this role differs by industry
| Industry | What it does | |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare | Welcome guides new patients through digital registration, insurance card upload, medical history collection, and consent forms. It adapts the flow based on appointment type (new patient vs. returning, physical vs. mental health) and triggers insurance verification and referral confirmation in parallel so everything is ready before the patient arrives. | View |
| SaaS | Guide runs personalized onboarding sequences for new trial users based on their actual in-product behavior. Users who create a project but don't invite teammates get a collaboration prompt. Users who connect an integration but don't build an automation get a tailored walkthrough. Guide increases trial-to-paid conversion by 3.2x compared to unguided onboarding. | View |
| Recruitment | Ava manages candidate communication throughout the entire recruitment lifecycle: personalized application acknowledgments within minutes, interview prep materials, status updates during radio silence, offer letter coordination, and post-placement check-ins. She also handles the initial candidate registration flow, collecting CVs, preferences, and availability for the recruiter database. | View |
