Tasks, by type of work.

Each task has an experience tag (CX, SX or BX), a verdict, and example agents that often help with this kind of work. Agent suggestions come from our editorial scores, not vendor claims.

Inbox

Amplify CX · Customer experience

Answer questions about packages, timing, what you do and what you do not do

Common questions can be drafted from the service information. Anything about a particular pregnancy, labour or a medical concern goes to the doula, or to a clinician when it is clinical.

Example agents: Grok Bot, ChatGPT, Claude

Bookings & calendar

Automate CX · Customer experience

Schedule prenatal visits, backup arrangements and postnatal check-ins

Finding times and sending reminders is routine, and it is easy to lose a postnatal visit when everyone is tired.

Example agents: Grok Bot, ChatGPT, Claude

Phone & voice

Keep human CX · Customer experience

Support a parent who is frightened, disappointed or having a hard recovery

This needs care in the moment and should come from the doula. Clinical concerns still belong with a midwife or a doctor.

Spreadsheets & data

Automate CX · Customer experience

Keep visit notes, preferences and the on-call window up to date

Approved notes can be filed against the record automatically, including who is on call and any backup arrangement.

Documents

Amplify CX · Customer experience

Write a birth-preferences note and a simple postnatal support plan

An agent can draft from the conversation. The doula checks that it reflects what was actually agreed and does not read like a clinical instruction.

Example agents: Grok Bot, ChatGPT, Claude

Amplify CX · Customer experience

Write a follow-up note after a prenatal or postnatal visit

An agent can draft this from the visit notes. The doula checks that the next steps are the ones they agreed, and that the wording is kind.

Example agents: Grok Bot, Manus, Gemini

Automate CX · Customer experience

Send an intake form, consent and practical information before the first meeting

Intake, consent and practical information can go out with the booking and be filed when they come back, so the first meeting is about the parent, not forms.

Example agents: Gemini, n8n

Amplify BX · Business experience

Write a proposal or package outline for a new client

An agent can draft from a standard package. The doula sets the fee, the visit count and what is realistically included.

Example agents: Grok Bot, Claude, Microsoft Copilot

Customer chat

Keep human CX · Customer experience

Support the parent through pregnancy, labour and the early days after birth

This is in-person support, education and companionship at a demanding time. It stays human.

Keep human CX · Customer experience

Talk through birth preferences, questions and what support they want from you

Understanding their hopes, their worries and the limits of a doula's role is a conversation, not a form.

Admin

Automate BX · Business experience

Track first-aid, insurance and professional-membership renewals

Insurance, training and treatment-compliance due dates can be watched automatically, which is easy to let slip in a busy spa week.

Example agents: Grok Bot, ChatGPT, Claude
