Department Workflows

Agents are most valuable inside a clear workflow. When your team defines how work should flow, an agent can assist at the right moments instead of ad hoc.

#The assist-review-approve loop

1
Trigger
Work arrives or is due.
2
AI assists
Drafts or analyzes.
3
Human reviews
Checks and edits.
4
Approve
Work moves forward.

Automations can invoke agents

Where you have set up automations, they can hand a step to an agent to draft or analyze, then route the result to a person for approval. See the Automation Engine for how triggers and approvals work.

#Designing a workflow that uses AI well

  • Write down how the work should flow before adding AI.
  • Insert AI at the drafting and analyzing steps, not the deciding steps.
  • Keep an explicit approval before anything customer-facing.
