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

Everything you need to know about hiring, customizing, and scaling autonomous AI employees.

Yes! RhinoAgents connects natively with SAP IS-U, Oracle Utilities Customer Care & Billing (CC&B), ESRI ArcGIS, and major AMI meter data management (MDM) platforms.

The Outage Dispatcher operates on auto-scaling cloud infrastructure capable of answering tens of thousands of simultaneous calls and SMS messages, mapping outages to grid feeders without hold times.

It combines smart meter interval data with local degree-day weather records, showing customers visually how temperature extremes or malfunctioning HVAC/plumbing equipment caused their bill to increase.

Yes! All communications, APIs, and data stores adhere strictly to NERC CIP standards, state Public Utility Commission privacy rules, and enterprise cyber defense protocols.

RhinoAgents operates on a transparent credit-based model with zero per-seat human fees. You start with 1,000 free execution credits on our Free Trial ($0). Monthly plans start at $20/month (Starter: 10,000 credits/mo), $49/month (Pro: 50,000 credits/mo), and $99/month (Business: 150,000 credits/mo). Credits are consumed based on task complexity (such as research, data processing, workflow orchestration, communication, or CRM/ERP syncing). Unlimited human team members can access and collaborate with the AI employee without paying user seat penalties.

RhinoAgents pays for 100% of the underlying AI model costs (LLM tokens for GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini, etc.) and cloud computing infrastructure—all covered directly by your monthly credit allotment. You never need to supply your own OpenAI or Anthropic API keys. The customer is only responsible for their own external third-party software subscriptions and tool accounts (such as your existing CRM, ATS, Twilio, WhatsApp Business API, ERP, or cloud accounts). RhinoAgents connects seamlessly via 1-click native integrations with zero markup.
