AI agent for court reporters
Rush Quote Agent
A fair, consistent rush quote with a delivery date the reporter can keep
What it does
Rush requests arrive with a deadline and little detail, and prices vary by who answers. This agent reads the request and estimates page count from the hearing length, the type of proceeding and the reporter's past pages per hour. It checks the reporter's calendar and other deadlines to see whether the delivery date is realistic, and whether help would be needed. It applies the rate card, including the rush rate for the requested speed, and drafts a quote with a delivery date. If scope or schedule changes, for example the hearing runs long or a new deadline appears, it rechecks and revises the quote. The reporter approves the quote before it goes to the attorney. Edge case: two rush jobs fall on the same day.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

- Quote record
How it decides
The delivery date must fit the reporter's calendar with a buffer. If it cannot, the quote offers a later date or a partial delivery.
- Estimate pages at the reporter's own pace
- Keep a 4-hour buffer before the deadline
- Offer partial delivery if the full set cannot be met
- Use the rate card, not ad hoc discounts
