Layer 1 — Smart intake

We begin with a shared inbox, IVR, or chat widget. LLMs handle classification, entity capture, and summarization; deterministic regex and validation keep the output predictable. Every intake packet includes:

  • Requester, account, or asset IDs pulled from CRM and data warehouses.
  • Priority labels tied to SLAs.
  • Suggested next actions (draft replies, tasks, or tickets).

Layer 2 — Workflow router

Once intake is structured, we hand it to a router built in Zapier, Make, n8n, or a bespoke Node service. The router only cares about what outcome is needed and which system owns it. Common routes:

  • Deal support → Salesforce tasks with auto-filled context.
  • IT request → Linear or Jira with AI-written repro steps.
  • Scheduling request → Calendly + SMS confirmations with human fallback.

Layer 3 — Human confirmation

We never remove humans; we just give them better leverage. Approval steps land in Slack, Teams, or email with one-click buttons. We track human overrides so the router learns when to escalate sooner.

Implementation rhythm

  1. Map the top 5 intake sources and destinations.
  2. Document the “happy path” and edge cases per workflow.
  3. Launch in sandbox with telemetry (success rate, human overrides, SLAs).
  4. Roll out to production users with training and weekly retros.

The end state feels invisible: customers still email or call, teams still work in their existing tools, and the AI quietly triages everything in between.
