AI proposes the classification. Defined workflow rules control the action.
The problem
Valuable time gets trapped in the inbox.
Shared inboxes and request queues depend on people repeatedly interpreting the same kinds of messages. That administrative load can slow down the requests that matter most.

How it works
AI understands the request. Your rules control what happens next.

Action or review
Route, escalate, notify or send to a person
Initial use case
Starting with intelligent inbox triage
The first prototype focuses on email and shared inbox workflows: turning an unstructured message into consistent fields that an existing business process can use.
Example incoming message
“Our team has been unable to process orders since yesterday and we urgently need assistance.”

- Yes
Existing business rules—not the AI alone—would determine whether to route, escalate, notify or request review.
Built for control
Practical automation with clear boundaries.
AI-assisted understanding
AI helps interpret each request and converts it into clear, structured decision data.
Confidence-aware automation
Low-confidence or sensitive cases can be held back and routed to a person for review.
Business rules remain in control
Classification does not mean unrestricted action. Your deterministic rules govern every outcome.
Integration-friendly
Designed to complement the systems and operational workflows your organisation already uses.
Who could benefit
Teams handling high volumes of incoming requests.
- Service organisations
- Internal support teams
- Sales teams
- Customer service operations
- Shared corporate inboxes
- Workflow-heavy admin teams
