How can firms automate client document intake with AI?

By Alison Moye, Chief Operating Officer, 11:59 · Updated October 30, 2026

Short answer: Firms can automate most document intake: sorting incoming files, pulling out the data that matters, checking it against the rules, and routing anything uncertain to a person.

The work that stays with staff is the judgment: exceptions, client questions and sign-off. The key requirements are that client documents stay in the firm's own cloud and that every decision is recorded.

11:59 deploys its IDP++ solution into the firm's own tenant and runs it, so the firm doesn't have to maintain it.
