Your first impression happens in onboarding, not in the proposal
You signed the new client. Congratulations, that was the hard part. Now comes the moment that truly defines the relationship: onboarding. Asking for their tax ID and fiscal documents, the access credentials, the bank statements, explaining how you work, what you need from them, and by when.
And this is where many firms lose momentum. The welcome email never goes out the same day. The document checklist arrives across three separate messages. The new client, who was excited, is left waiting and starts to wonder if they made the right call. The energy they signed with cools off.
At Catalizadora we see the same pattern in firm after firm: the sale is good, the service is good, but the bridge between them — onboarding — is manual, slow, and depends on someone remembering. So we built an AI agent that welcomes and kicks off every new client automatically.
What an AI onboarding agent does
The second a client signs or pays, the agent springs into action on WhatsApp in your firm's voice. It welcomes them, explains the next steps, asks for exactly what you need, and follows up until they're ready. Without you opening your email.
Welcomes instantly
No waiting until Monday. The client gets a warm, professional message right away, with the feeling they landed in the hands of an organized firm. That first impression is worth gold.
Requests documents, one by one
Instead of an overwhelming email with fifteen attachments, the agent asks for what it needs conversationally: the tax document, the access credentials, the bank statement. If something is missing, it follows up kindly until it has everything.
Answers the typical questions
"How do I send this?", "by when do you need it?", "what does my plan include?". The agent answers the frequent questions instantly, with the right information, without interrupting your team.
Logs everything in the CRM
Every document received, every reply, every pending item is recorded. Your team opens the new client's file and it's already complete, ready to start working.
Numbers: the cost of a manual onboarding
Let's put figures on it. A well-done manual onboarding easily takes 2 to 4 hours of work: drafting the welcome, listing documents, chasing the missing ones, loading everything into the file. For a firm adding 8 new clients a month, that's 16 to 32 hours monthly on a task you can't bill.
And the invisible cost is worse. Slow onboarding lengthens the time to first service, delays the first invoice, and in the worst cases makes a client who just signed regret it before they even start. Every client who cools off in the first week is marketing and sales thrown in the trash.
An AI agent does that same work in minutes, at any hour, without anyone having to remember. The client gets going the same day, the documents arrive complete, and your team starts working sooner.
How we build it at Catalizadora
We build it on top of your real process with the MAGIA methodology: Mapping, Architecture, Generation, Implementation, and Autonomy. We map how you receive a client today, which documents you request, in what order, and with what tone. Then we build the agent to replicate your best welcome, always just as good.
What sets us apart:
The code, data, and infrastructure are 100% yours. The agent lives in your house, not on a platform that rents you access. If you want to change something tomorrow, it's yours to change.
No retainers, no tied licenses. You pay for the build once. The operation runs as a pass-through of hosting and tokens, typically between $200 and $400 USD per month, with no margin from us.
What to expect to invest
MAGIA Solo is $4,500 USD delivered in 15 days: the onboarding agent connected to your CRM, speaking in your firm's voice. If you want to cover several flows — onboarding, collections, support — MAGIA Core is $15,000 USD. And for something deeper and bespoke, Forge is $20,000 USD over 12 weeks.
Compared to adding a coordination person to receive clients, the agent costs a fraction and never drops a case.
Manual onboarding vs. with an agent
A manual onboarding depends on someone having the time and remembering the same day. If the team is swamped, the welcome is delayed, documents arrive half-complete, and the client is left with a sense of disorganization. An onboarding with an agent starts automatically the second the client signs, requests everything in order, follows up tirelessly, and leaves the file ready. The difference isn't just speed: it's the difference between a client who starts with confidence and one who starts with doubts.
The new client feels they made the right call
A good onboarding isn't bureaucracy: it's the first promise you keep. When a new client gets a flawless welcome on the very day they sign, it confirms they chose well. The relationship starts with trust, and trust is what keeps a client for years and gets you referrals.

At Catalizadora we build the system once, hand it over complete, and you keep everything.
