problem and build

problem

The operating gap

Fully automated replies are too risky for higher-stakes conversations, but writing every response from scratch is slow. Teams want AI speed with a human firmly in the loop on what actually goes out.

build

What gets built

For configured channels, the agent reads the incoming message, pulls relevant context, and writes a suggested reply in the brand voice, then posts it to an approval surface (inbox, Slack, or a simple queue). A human approves, edits, or rejects; only approved messages send. The agent never auto-sends on these channels. Approvals and edits are captured so the drafting quality improves and reviewers spend less time over the weeks.

build steps

  1. 01Choose which channels require human approval and define the brand voice and context sources.
  2. 02Generate a suggested reply per inbound message using relevant context.
  3. 03Post the draft to an approval surface with approve / edit / reject controls.
  4. 04Send only approved (or edited-then-approved) messages; nothing auto-sends.
  5. 05Capture edits and rejections as feedback to improve future drafts.
  6. 06Track approval rate and edit volume to measure draft quality trending up.
