AI Agents for Client Onboarding

Automate the first week of every new client. Folder structure, welcome email, kickoff checklist, project brief. All set up in minutes.

01the problem

Every new client means the same 45-minute setup: create project folders, write a welcome email, build a task list, draft the project brief, add contacts to the CRM. It's not hard work, but it's easy to forget steps. And when onboarding is sloppy, clients notice.

02what the agent does

You tell the agent: new client, here's their name, what they do, what we're doing for them, contacts, billing. The agent creates the entire project structure (folders, README, deliverables tracker), drafts a welcome email, builds a kickoff checklist, and adds the client to your active roster. All in about 2 minutes.

01
New client onboarding
Run this when a new client signs. It builds everything.
New client onboarding. Ask me for:
- Client name
- What they do (one sentence)
- What we're doing for them (one sentence)
- Key contacts (name, email, role)
- Start date and end date
- Billing amount and terms

Then:
1. Create projects/[client-name]/ with subfolders: reports, call-prep, scope, deliverables, invoices
2. Create a README.md with overview, contacts, project details, and deliverables table
3. Add onboarding tasks to TASKS.md (kickoff call, request access, confirm brief, scope first deliverable, send welcome email)
4. Add client to active clients in CLAUDE.md
5. Draft a welcome email (who we are, what to expect in week one, one clear next step)
6. Email the draft to me for review. Do not send to the client.

FAQ

Common questions about setting up this agent.

Can the agent adapt to different types of clients?+
Yes. The folder structure and checklist are your standard template, but the README, welcome email, and deliverables are generated from the specifics you provide. A retainer client gets different onboarding than a one-off project. You describe the engagement, the agent adapts.
What if we use Asana or Monday instead of Notion?+
Claude Cowork connects to most project management tools. The agent creates tasks wherever your team already works. The folder structure lives in your Cowork workspace, but task creation and project tracking happen in your existing tool.
