The four stages

From first contact to signed brief, automated.

Intake Flow

Conversational question sequence

The intake is a structured conversational chat that guides a potential client through your qualifying questions. You design the question flow: project type, deliverables, timeline, budget, decision-making process. The AI presents each question naturally, handles clarifying follow-ups, and confirms answers before moving on. Clients complete it in under 5 minutes, on any device, without creating an account.

  • Custom question flows per service type (design, dev, strategy)
  • AI handles follow-up and clarification naturally
  • Works on mobile without installation
  • No client account or password required
  • Progress auto-saved - clients can resume later

Brief Generation

Auto-structured project brief PDF

When the client completes the intake flow, SyncHq AI generates a structured project brief. Not a dump of raw answers - an organized, readable document covering project scope, objectives, deliverables, constraints, budget range, and timeline. The brief is sent to you and the client immediately, creating a shared reference point before the first real conversation.

  • Structured sections: scope, objectives, deliverables, timeline
  • Budget range captured and formatted
  • Key constraints and risks identified by AI
  • PDF sent to agency and client on completion
  • Editable in SyncHq before sharing with client

Qualification

Budget, timeline, and decision-maker capture

The intake flow captures the three things that determine project fit: budget range, decision-making authority, and realistic timeline. These aren&apos;t collected in a form - they emerge from conversation. The AI flags when a client&apos;s budget and scope are misaligned and surfaces that in the brief before you invest time in a discovery call.

  • Budget range captured in natural conversation
  • Decision-maker identification (are they the approver?)
  • Timeline reality-check built into the flow
  • AI flags scope-budget misalignment in the brief
  • Qualification score visible in your intake dashboard

Handoff to Project

Brief becomes the project template

Once you&apos;ve reviewed the brief and decided to proceed, SyncHq converts the intake into a project with one click. The scope becomes the project description, the timeline populates milestones, and budget assumptions carry into billing settings. Your team starts with context already in place - no re-entry of information already captured in the intake.

  • One click to convert brief into a live project
  • Scope and objectives pre-populate project description
  • Timeline maps to proposed milestones
  • Budget assumption carried into billing configuration
  • Client contact automatically invited to the portal

How it works

Three steps. No calls before you're ready.

01

Share your intake link

Each intake link is branded to your studio. Share it in your website contact form, by email, or anywhere a prospect reaches out. The client clicks and starts the conversation immediately - no account creation, no form to fill.

02

Client answers, AI builds the brief

The conversational flow guides the client through scope, timeline, budget, and constraints. When they finish, AI structures their answers into a clean project brief and emails it to both of you within seconds.

03

Review and convert to project

You review the brief in SyncHq, edit anything that needs refinement, and click 'Create project from brief'. The project is pre-populated with everything from the intake. Your first conversation with the client is strategy, not discovery.

Built for

Any service business that sells project work.

Design studios

Capture brand goals, visual references, and timeline before a single call. Arrive at discovery knowing scope, not starting there.

Development shops

Qualify tech stack, integration requirements, and budget in the intake flow. Filter low-fit leads before allocating any PM time.

Strategy consultancies

Understand the business problem, decision-maker, and budget authority before proposing. Intake replaces the unpaid first meeting.

Marketing agencies

Capture campaign goals, channels, past experience, and timeline. Brief is ready before the kickoff deck.

FAQ

answered

It replaces the information-gathering part. Clients answer your qualifying questions in a conversational flow and SyncHq generates a structured brief, so your first live call is strategy rather than collecting basic scope, timeline, and budget details.
