AI-Guided Workflow Applications

Forms are a tax on your users. Every field is friction. Every page is an opportunity to abandon. Every ambiguous question generates support tickets or bad data. And yet most software still treats data collection as a grid of empty boxes waiting to be filled.

We build something different: AI-guided workflows that combine structured data collection with conversational intelligence. Users can fill fields directly, talk to an AI assistant who fills fields for them, or mix both approaches. The AI navigates steps, skips irrelevant questions, validates inputs in real-time, and integrates with backend systems—all while feeling like a helpful conversation rather than an interrogation.

The Problem We Solve

Complex intake processes are everywhere, and they’re almost universally painful:

• Insurance quotes require dozens of fields, but most applicants abandon before completion. Those who finish often enter bad data that breaks downstream underwriting.

• Legal client intake involves capturing sensitive details across multiple areas of law, then using that context throughout the engagement. Most firms use PDFs or generic form builders that don’t connect to anything.

• Patient onboarding in healthcare means redundant forms, manual data entry, and context that never flows into the clinical conversation.

• B2B onboarding for SaaS products requires company details, use cases, integration requirements—information that sales, success, and product teams all need but capture separately.

The traditional solutions don’t work:

Static forms are rigid. They can’t adapt to user responses, can’t fill fields intelligently, can’t explain why a question matters. Users either abandon or submit garbage data.

Chatbots are the opposite problem—unstructured conversations that meander without capturing the specific data you need. You get transcripts, not structured records.

Custom development takes months and costs six figures. By the time you ship, requirements have changed.

We’ve built a third option: a platform that combines the structure of forms with the intelligence of conversation, deployable in weeks through configuration rather than custom code.

What We Build

The Hybrid Interface

Our workflows present a familiar multi-step form interface with a conversational AI assistant alongside it. Users choose how they want to work:

Fill fields directly. Some users prefer typing into form fields. The interface supports this completely—it’s a fully functional form.

Talk to the AI. Other users prefer describing their situation in natural language. The AI listens, extracts relevant information, and populates fields automatically. A user might say “I’m a 35-year-old software engineer in Austin with a clean driving record and a 2022 Tesla Model 3” and watch six fields populate at once.

Mix both approaches. Most users do some of each. They might type their name and address directly, then have a conversation about their coverage needs. The AI adapts to whatever approach the user takes.

Let the AI drive. Users can ask the AI to guide them through the workflow. The AI asks questions conversationally, confirms understanding, and navigates between steps automatically. Users who hate forms never have to look at one.

This isn’t just a chatbot bolted onto a form. The AI understands the workflow structure, knows which fields are required, can validate inputs against business rules, and maintains context across steps. It’s a genuine hybrid that’s more capable than either approach alone.

Intelligent Field Population

The AI doesn’t just transcribe—it interprets and structures.

Multi-field extraction. A single conversational response can populate multiple fields across multiple steps. The AI parses natural language into structured data, handling variations in how people express the same information.

Contextual inference. If a user mentions they’re a “small law firm in Chicago,” the AI can infer business type, location, and approximate size—asking for confirmation rather than making the user re-enter obvious details.

Validation and clarification. When inputs don’t pass validation rules, the AI explains why and asks for clarification conversationally. Instead of a red error message, users get “I noticed the VIN you provided is 16 characters, but VINs are typically 17. Could you double-check that?”

Smart defaults. Based on earlier responses, the AI can suggest reasonable defaults for later fields. A user who indicated they’re a startup might see different default options than an enterprise user.

Real-Time Backend Integration

Workflows aren’t just about collecting data—they’re about using that data to drive decisions in real-time.

API lookups during the workflow. An insurance quote workflow might call a DMV API when the user enters their driver’s license, retrieving driving history that affects pricing. A legal intake might verify bar numbers or check conflicts databases. A B2B onboarding might pull company information from Clearbit or ZoomInfo.

Dynamic pricing and decisioning. Backend calls can return pricing, eligibility determinations, or approval decisions that appear within the workflow. Users see real-time quotes update as they provide information, not a “we’ll get back to you” dead end.

Conditional logic based on results. API responses can change the workflow itself. A VIN lookup that returns a salvage title might branch to a different set of questions—or decline the quote immediately with a clear explanation.

Your systems, not ours. We integrate with whatever backends you have: REST APIs, GraphQL, legacy SOAP services, databases, third-party SaaS platforms. The workflow configuration defines what to call and how to use the results.

Configurable Workflow Definition

Workflows are defined through declarative configuration, not custom code. A typical workflow definition includes:

Steps and fields. Each step contains fields with types (text, textarea, select, multi-select, date, etc.), labels, placeholders, validation rules, and conditional visibility.

Field relationships. Fields can depend on other fields—shown or hidden based on previous responses, required or optional based on context, pre-populated from earlier inputs or API calls.

AI instructions. Each workflow includes guidance for the AI personality: how to introduce the workflow, how to ask about specific fields, how to handle edge cases, what tone to use.

Backend hooks. Configuration specifies which APIs to call at which points, how to map workflow data to API requests, and how to handle responses.

A workflow that might take months to build custom can be configured in days. Changes and iterations happen in configuration files, not code deployments.

Domain-Specific AI Personalities

The AI assistant isn’t generic—it’s configured for your domain and brand.

Expertise and vocabulary. An AI guiding insurance quotes speaks differently than one onboarding legal clients. We configure domain-specific knowledge, terminology, and conversational patterns.

Brand voice. The AI matches your brand’s tone—professional, friendly, technical, casual—whatever fits your users’ expectations.

Specialized knowledge. Through RAG integration, the AI can reference your documentation, policies, product details, and other materials when answering questions or explaining requirements.

Persona consistency. The AI maintains a consistent identity throughout the workflow and across sessions. Users feel like they’re working with a knowledgeable assistant, not a generic chatbot.

Persistent Context

Data captured in workflows doesn’t disappear after submission—it becomes the foundation for ongoing AI interactions.

Profile building. A company onboarding workflow creates a company profile. Every future conversation about that company—marketing campaigns, support requests, account reviews—has that context automatically available.

Case context. A legal intake workflow creates a case record. When the attorney later asks the AI to help draft a motion, the AI already knows the parties, facts, and legal issues.

Progressive enrichment. Each interaction adds context. The AI gets smarter about each user, company, or case over time, without requiring users to repeat themselves.

This is the real power of the platform: workflows aren’t isolated forms, they’re the entry point to an AI that actually knows your business.

Production Examples

MSP Marketing Platform

A white-labeled platform for managed service providers to create marketing content. Workflows capture:

• Company profile (differentiators, services, target markets, client success stories)
• Campaign strategy (objectives, channels, messaging, success metrics)
• Content requirements (topics, tone, format, distribution)

The captured context feeds content generation. Blog posts, emails, and social media content automatically reflect the MSP’s specific positioning and voice—not generic “IT services” content.

Legal Client Intake

Workflows for law firms that capture new client and matter information:

• Client demographics and contact information
• Matter type and initial facts
• Conflict check data
• Engagement terms and fee arrangements

The AI guides clients through sensitive questions conversationally, explains why information is needed, and creates structured records that attorneys can review before the first consultation.

Book Development

A multi-step workflow for authors developing non-fiction books:

• Book concept and target reader
• Central themes and arguments
• Chapter structure and progression
• Research sources and references

Writers describe their book conversationally, and the AI helps structure their ideas into a coherent outline—then uses that context to assist with drafting chapters.

Why Build With Us

Proven platform, not a prototype. The Kusog aiAgent platform powers production applications today. Multi-tenant architecture, enterprise security, Git-based version control, comprehensive audit trails—all built and running.

Configuration over code. Most workflow applications require zero custom development. You get a working product through configuration, with custom backend integration only where your domain requires it.

Hybrid UI is genuinely novel. This isn’t a form library with a chatbot. The integration between structured fields and conversational AI is deep—and it’s a pattern users haven’t seen before.

Full-stack ownership. We built the platform from infrastructure to UI. When something needs to change, we change it. No waiting on third-party vendors or working around platform limitations.

Domain expertise transfer. You know your industry. We help you encode that knowledge into workflow logic, AI prompts, and validation rules. The result is an application that reflects your expertise, not generic software.
