How to Build an AI Customer Onboarding Agent
An AI agent that handles new patient intake — collecting insurance details, gathering medical history, and scheduling the first appointment — so your front desk isn’t buried in paperwork before someone even walks in.
Three emails. Insurance verified, chart prepped, appointment booked — before the patient ever calls.
How it works
Create an intake agent at dashboard.carlyassistant.com. Connect your calendar, email, and CRM. The agent handles the full intake flow — collecting documents over email, verifying coverage, and booking the appointment. Full walkthrough: How to Create a Custom AI Email Agent.

How practices use it
- New patient emails in — agent sends intake questions, collects insurance photos, verifies coverage, and books the first opening that fits their schedule
- Missing paperwork — agent follows up if insurance or medical history hasn’t come in yet, so the front desk doesn’t have to chase people down
- Referral from another provider — agent receives the referral, pulls the patient’s info, and reaches out to schedule without anyone picking up a phone
