Catalyst — Why Change?
A boutique law firm, specializing in immigration services, realized it was missing out on revenue opportunities.
Cynthia, the firm’s founder, knew there were thousands of potential clients who wanted reliable information on how to move to Canada, but who could not afford a lawyer.
She was looking for a way to capture the firm’s expertise and automate the sharing of information.
This would allow Cynthia to serve many more clients without adding more lawyers.
But she was unsure what to do. One developer proposed using a custom built chatbot, but Cynthia is not a technical person, and she didn’t know if this idea was feasible or wise.
“It is a lonely world that I live in. I’m steering this ship. It is all on my shoulders.”
Solution
For less than $5000 (after the CDAP subsidy) we gave Cynthia a customized Roadmap for a simple chatbot. We helped her imagine what was possible and showed how to get there.
What made our Roadmap different?
“I feel like you’re more listeners, unlike most IT people. They’re just like ‘you need this certain solution,’ but they don’t really understand our business. It turns into a big mess.”
What’s crucial is that our advice is vendor agnostic. We are not tied to any solution. We only want what is best for you.
This process does take work. Cynthia appreciated that “you made me think about hard questions and things I needed to think about.”
Cynthia said it was a “really great process to get our independent perspective and to have someone to bounce ideas off of.”
Results
Cynthia is now on her way to building the first version of her chatbot, and generating revenue from new clients.
She avoided the costly and complicated path the developer recommended, and instead has a much simpler solution in mind.
She now has the confidence to head in this new direction for her firm, with a foundation for even more advanced AI solutions over time.
She also learned that she is not alone in the journey.
