Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of handling user inquiries that an AI agent cannot answer confidently. It ensures that:

- Customer support teams are notified promptly to assist users, maintaining a high level of service.

Workflow Steps

  • Chat Trigger: The workflow begins with a user initiating a chat, which triggers the AI agent.
    2. AI Agent: The AI attempts to answer the user's question. If it is uncertain, it uses the Not sure? tool.
    3. Window Buffer Memory: This component helps the AI remember previous interactions, enhancing the context of the conversation.
    4. Check for Email: The workflow checks if the user has provided an email address. If not, a prompt is sent asking for it.
    5. Message Slack for Help: If the user has provided an email, a message is sent to a Slack channel notifying the support team of the user's inquiry.
    6. Confirm Human Messaging: After notifying the support team, a response is sent back to the user confirming that assistance is on the way.
