Transformation Timeline

Before

Staff buried in paperwork, reviews ignored, patients waiting

Engagement

Full Catalyst Engine™ implementation

After

Automated systems running 24/7, staff focused on patient care

ii.

The Challenge

6-person dental practice drowning in insurance verifications (45 min each), patient recall (manual phone calls), and review responses (ignored entirely). Front desk staff spending the majority of their time on admin instead of patients.

iii.

What We Built

  • AI phone agent handling after-hours scheduling and basic intake
  • Automated insurance verification workflow integrated with their practice management system
  • Personalized patient recall sequences across email and SMS, segmented by treatment type
  • One-click review response system — AI drafts, staff approves, reputation protected

We were skeptical that AI could handle insurance verification accurately. It’s now more accurate than our manual process, and the front desk team actually has time to greet patients. That alone changed the energy of our practice.

ii.

The Challenge

iii.

What We Built

  • AI-powered client intake screening on the firm's website — qualifying leads in minutes
  • Automated conflict check workflow connected to case management
  • Document drafting templates with AI pre-population from intake data

Daily content, 100% review response, automated catering pipeline

ii.

The Challenge

3-location restaurant group with no dedicated marketing person. Social media was inconsistent (2–3 posts/month), review responses were weeks late, and catering inquiries were falling through the cracks.

iii.

What We Built

  • AI-driven content generation pipeline — brand-aligned posts in minutes, not hours
  • 90-day cross-platform content calendar created in a single 3-hour session
  • Automated review monitoring and on-brand response system across all review platforms
  • Catering lead nurture sequence — every inquiry tracked, followed up, and converted
