Autonomous Multi-Agent Workflow

How Sub-Agents Collaborate Under the AI Employee

Sub-agents do not operate as disconnected single-purpose bots. They operate as a synchronized squad orchestrated by the primary AI Employee, exchanging context and data in real time.

1

Signal & Intake

Inquiry or record is ingested from web chat, email, form submission, or webhook. Primary AI Employee verifies context and dispatches it to the Intake sub-agent.

Trigger: Signal Received
2

Enrichment & Vetting

Data is parsed against your custom rubrics. Sub-agents verify external databases, enrich missing parameters, and calculate objective qualification scores.

Logic: Custom Rubrics
3

Gate Evaluation

Scores meeting your auto-advance threshold proceed immediately. Borderline cases generate an executive summary card to a designated Slack channel for human 1-click review.

Security: Human-in-the-Loop
4

Action & 360° Sync

Sub-agents book calendar invites, trigger confirmation notifications, and write full audit logs into your CRM, ERP, and database systems automatically.

Output: Closed-Loop Execution
Modular Sub-Agent Squad

How to Change Rules & Customize Logic

You never have to accept a rigid black-box AI. Every scoring weight, knockout condition, tone guideline, and approval gate can be altered in seconds using visual toggles or natural language.

1. Adjust Scoring Weights

Use visual percentage sliders to weight qualification rubrics (e.g. 40% Fit Criteria, 30% Budget/Timeline, 20% Tech Stack, 10% Profile Quality).

Core Fit:40%
Authority / Budget:30%

2. Set Mandatory Knockout Criteria

Add non-negotiable prerequisite rules. If an inquiry fails any knockout criteria, it is politely handled with an automated response without wasting your team's time.

Minimum budget threshold met
Corporate business email domain
Operating in serviceable geographic territory

3. Set Human Approval Thresholds

Define exact score brackets that trigger instant execution versus those requiring human team sign-off via Slack or email.

• Score ≥ 85: Auto-execute
• Score 70-84: Slack Team 1-Click Gate
• Score < 70: Polite automated routing
