Build a legal intake agent with its own email mailbox
A developer shows how to create a legal intake agent using Nylas Agent Accounts, which gives the bot its own dedicated mailbox for collecting client details. The system uses webhooks, conflict-check routing, and SMTP-level rules to reject known adverse parties. The agent handles intake capture and handoff to human attorneys, not legal advice.

The approach is practical for regulated environments, but the real challenge is ensuring the conflict-check logic is robust enough for real law firm requirements.
