TravelPerk's legal team answers ~3,000 internal queries a month through a Flank #ask-legal agent in Slack

L3 · Conditional Verified · Production TravelSaaS Legal Ops

Business-travel platform TravelPerk's legal team (GC Andrew Cooke) deployed Flank in May 2023 as an #ask-legal Slack agent that grew to cover privacy, security, revenue and bids, plus a Virtual Deal Coach for sales negotiations. It handles about 3,000 queries a month (peak 5,000), automatically services ~1,200 privacy queries a month and cut privacy questionnaire completion from weeks to hours, so sales and deal desk answer RFP and vendor forms on their own (reported by Flank)

Problem

Legal, privacy and security questions from sales and deal desk queued behind the legal team and slowed deals (reported by Flank)

Workflow

  1. Employee asks a question in Slack (#ask-legal) or the browser
  2. Flank agent answers from legal, privacy, security, revenue and bids knowledge
  3. Privacy questionnaires and vendor forms are completed by the agent for sales and deal desk
  4. Virtual Deal Coach supports negotiation questions for sales
  5. Legal maintains knowledge and handles what the agent cannot answer

Human-in-the-loop: Routine queries are answered without legal involvement; the legal team curates knowledge and handles complex matters.
