Many small businesses lose time and revenue during intake: leads go cold, intake calls miss key details, and follow-up depends on memory. In this episode, Dr Marblism explains how to build your first AI employee — the Intake Interviewer — a role-based assistant that qualifies leads, collects essential details, and schedules next steps so humans only handle exceptions. In plain language I’ll show how the Intake Interviewer asks the right questions, captures contact info, budget, timeline, and must-have constraints, then creates a succinct summary in your CRM. Real example: a remodeling contractor whose crews wait on incomplete intake, or a consultant missing scope signals. I’ll walk through the AI employee blueprint — tasks, inputs, outputs, required human reviews, and a clear success metric — and map the end-to-end workflow so you can picture implementation in under an hour. You’ll leave with one practical action: write the three intake questions you wish were always answered. Inspirational, simple, and focused on making AI practical for everyday owners.
