How I Built an AI Agent to Automate My Lead-to-Proposal Workflow and Save Hours per Lead
Hey guys π Just built an agent that handles my entire lead-to-proposal pipeline and wanted to share how it works. βThe problem: Every time a new lead came in, I had to manually review their submission, figure out the project type, draft a scope of work, break it down into tasks, write a proposal email, and update my CRM. That whole process easily took several hours hours per lead. When you multiply that by several leads a week, it becomes a real bottleneck. π‘ The solution: A SOW Generator Agent that runs the entire workflow automatically. So here's what happens the moment a lead submits a Tally form: 1. The agent analyzes the submission and identifies the project type (web app, chatbot, automation, etc.). 2. It generates a full scope of work document tailored to that specific project. 3. It creates a detailed task list showing me what I need to do to complete the project. 4. It sends me a summary on Slack where I can actually chat with the agent to review and tweak the document in real time. 5. Once I approve it, the agent sends me an email with the final scope in a PDF document, creates a draft email ready to send to the lead with the proposal, and updates my CRM so the lead status stays current. π― What this actually solves for me: β’ No more context-switching to draft proposals from scratch β’ Every lead gets a consistent, professional response β’ My CRM is always up to date without me having to touch it β’ Nothing goes out without my approval thanks to the Slack review loop β’ What used to take me over an hour now takes a few minutes of review π Who can benefit the most from this: Anyone who works with any sort of packaged services where you have a solid base offer which could vary a little bit depending on the project specifics. You'll get a fully personalized proposal document in mere minutes. Happy to answer any questions about the build! π£
