Because this is 20% of the process, the service is still a legal team doing your all your immigrations. Checking the best strategy, how to apply, review your documents manually, book calls with you and, if necessary, appeal if the consulate asks questions or initially rejects your case. The price is for the full visa assistance.
Portugal is the same, they are so inefficient it almost seems intentional (or maybe it is). We wanted to serve these kind of clients, but could not do it properly because we could not even book appointments ourselves and had to rely on shady companies reselling slots, which I dont think they get in a fair way (or maybe not even legal), as there are many reports of insiders selling access... So we decided to turn to tech for help.
Hi HN! Hello there! We at getfastvisa help mostly US applicants with Portugal visas and VFS! The part I thought was interesting to share here is the operations behind it.
A lot of immigration work is not really "lawyers thinking"... It is someone checking for appointment portals every day (VFS is a nightmare), looking for slots, retrying when pages break, preparing the next step, documenting what happened, updating the client, repeat. For dozens of clients.
In some workflows this was basically 80% of a junior/intern role. Important work, but very repetitive.
So we built internal computer-use / browser agents for it.
We also tried talking with some law / immigration firms about this before. The pain was real, but many were so against thinking in workflows that it felt almost like witchcraft to them. So ok, instead of selling tools to the legal industry, we use the tools ourselves and compete with them.
I think this will happen a lot in legal AI / legal tech: the AI product is not always SaaS for incumbents. Sometimes it is a service company using agents internally and moving faster and cheaper.
I am curious to what HN thinks, not chatbots giving legal advice but agents doing boring real-world backoffice. Fragile portals, repeated cheks... audit trails...
The system is already bursting because the process is badly designed, VFS and consular websites are fully broken and we do not resell slots, we do just what a normal legal firm would with interns but with computer use.
If the only way the current system works is by making everyone waste hours refreshing broken portals, that is not fairness. That is just bad infrastructure with human labor hiding the problem.
Hi everyone, Guil here! With all the hype around Blender-MCP and the controversies around Claude being a sponsor we have built 3D-Agent. This SaaS has been going for around some months. It is a multi agent system fully aware of your scene in Blender capable of creating assets, animations, rigging and even teaching you on how to do stuff :)
Blender-mcp is just an open connection, in a single agent framework. 3D-Agent is a whole app with core workflows to fully undertand your blender scene + a multi agent system.
It has a complex AI Agents workflows and works by using python scripts. It is a faster and easier way to use Blender!
Very useful to sketch, create more efficient workflows and to learn Blender - since you can just ask the AI what should be done (it usually knows better what should be done compared to executing it!)
