Designed around practical business outcomes

Situation

A team had repeatable knowledge-work tasks but too much manual prep and follow-up.

Agent design

The workflow defined inputs, tools, permissions, review gates, escalation, and logs.

Business value

The pilot targeted speed and quality without giving the agent broad unchecked authority.


Example flow

  1. Pick a bounded internal workflow.
  2. Define what the agent may read, draft, summarize, or route.
  3. Require human review before external or high-impact action.
  4. Measure quality, cycle time, adoption, and error patterns.
