Inquiry & Intake Agent
Handles inbound questions, qualifies requests, collects required information, and escalates edge cases to humans — reliably and around the clock.
What This Agent Does
The Inquiry & Intake Agent takes responsibility for the first layer of inbound communication — ensuring every request is acknowledged, understood, and routed correctly.
Respond to Common Inquiries
Answers frequently asked questions using approved knowledge bases and policies.
Collect Required Information
Gathers necessary details (name, contact, intent) before routing or resolution.
Qualify & Prioritize Requests
Categorizes inquiries by urgency, topic, or customer segment for proper handling.
Provide 24/7 Availability
Ensures no inquiry goes unacknowledged, regardless of time zone or business hours.
Route Complex Cases
Identifies requests beyond its scope and escalates to the appropriate human or team.
Maintain Conversation Context
Remembers prior exchanges within a session for coherent, non-repetitive interactions.
What This Agent Does NOT Do
Boundaries are defined upfront. This agent is explicitly prevented from:
- Making final decisions — It collects and routes; humans decide.
- Providing legal, medical, or financial advice — These require licensed professionals.
- Acting outside predefined policies — It only uses approved responses and workflows.
- Accessing systems without authorization — Integrations are explicitly scoped.
- Handling sensitive data beyond its scope — PII handling follows strict data governance.
