Workflow guides

Start with the work, then set the boundary

These guides show which questions an agent can answer from source material, which actions need an integration, and where a person should take over.

Returns workflow

Example boundary
  1. Answer from source

    Explain the 30-day return policy

  2. Approved action

    Create a support ticket

  3. Human decision

    Approve an exception or refund

Common starting points

Three jobs. Three different handoff rules.

A useful first version stays narrow. Pick one job, name the source material, and write down what the agent must not decide.

Industry notes

The same agent pattern changes when the risk changes.

Use these notes to scope a first test. They are starting points, not claims that every workflow or system is already connected.

Stop conditions

Some work should stay with people.

  • Crisis, emergency, or life-safety conversations.

  • Medical, legal, or financial advice that needs a licensed professional.

  • Account exceptions, disputes, and irreversible decisions without approval.

  • Any workflow without maintained source material and a named owner.

One workflow is enough for the first test.

Start narrow. Pick one job, name the source material, and test it before customers see it.
