How does your studio know which project inquiries still need a reply?
I built a sample tracker that puts new inquiries in one place and flags overdue follow-ups. In this example, Ava’s request is due for a reply, and the studio owner can review a template before sending anything.
I offer a $250 setup using the tools your studio already has. See the setup and try the demo: https://contra.com/s/ONrqkRl2-project-inquiry-tracker-setup-for-creative-studios
letting the owner look over the template before anything goes out is a nice touch. are studios finding you here or do you reach out to them
Thanks, Jan! I’ve mostly been reaching out directly to small creative studios. I’m just getting started on Contra. I kept that review step because I wanted owners to have the final say on what gets sent. Have you seen studios struggle more with spotting overdue inquiries or finding time to reply?

From Manual Follow-Up Chasing to an Agent-Run Follow-Up Queue
Before / After: follow-ups, from manual chasing to an agent-run queue
Before: every follow-up lived in someone's memory. The founder checked the inbox, guessed who was waiting, and sent reminders by hand. Leads went quiet not because they said no, but because nobody followed up in time.
After: an agent now runs the follow-up queue. Each lead has a next step and a due date, drafts wait for review, and every reply is logged with its source. The founder reviews the queue once, approves, and moves on.
What changed was not the tool. It was the handoff: one clear owner for each step, a runbook anyone can follow, and a log anyone can audit.
If follow-ups are the bottleneck, fix the handoff first — then automate it.
"Fix the handoff first" is the part most teams skip. I see the same thing in email automation: a flow nobody owns keeps firing to the wrong segment for months because no one is checking the log. When the founder is away, who approves the drafts waiting in the queue?
Most law firm websites lose cases after hours. A visitor asks a question, nobody answers, and they book with the next firm.
So I built a demo AI intake and booking agent on Agentplace for a sample personal injury and family law firm. It asks what happened, collects name, contact details, state and dates step by step, and catches a wrong email or short phone number and politely asks again. Then it shows a recap for the visitor to confirm, matches the case to the right attorney and books the consultation.
The guardrails matter most. It never gives legal advice, it points injured visitors to medical care first, and it hands anything urgent to a human.
If your firm or service business loses leads after hours, I build intake and booking agents like this. My services are on my profile.
catching a wrong email or a short phone number and asking again is such a nice detail. are you showing this to law firms directly or mostly posting it here
