1
00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:05,000
You feel the chaos, inbox overflow, tickets vanish, customers rage.
2
00:00:05,000 –> 00:00:07,000
It was never about the password.
3
00:00:07,000 –> 00:00:11,000
It’s the access path, email to case without control.
4
00:00:11,000 –> 00:00:12,000
Here’s the fix.
5
00:00:12,000 –> 00:00:16,000
Autonomous agents inside Dynamics 365
6
00:00:16,000 –> 00:00:19,000
that read, classify, create, route, respond.
7
00:00:19,000 –> 00:00:21,000
No hype, real mechanics.
8
00:00:21,000 –> 00:00:23,000
We’ll expose the fractures you ignore.
9
00:00:23,000 –> 00:00:25,000
Then show the system that doesn’t blink.
10
00:00:25,000 –> 00:00:29,000
You’ll see email passing, AI classification, unified routing.
11
00:00:29,000 –> 00:00:33,000
Co-pilot drafts and clean handoff to humans.
12
00:00:33,000 –> 00:00:39,000
We’ll talk governance, audit logs, PII, escalation, stay.
13
00:00:39,000 –> 00:00:42,000
There’s one mistake that keeps your SLA clocks bleeding.
14
00:00:42,000 –> 00:00:45,000
I’ll show it and how to stop it.
15
00:00:45,000 –> 00:00:49,000
The problem today, fractured flow, rising cost.
16
00:00:49,000 –> 00:00:50,000
Look at your inbox.
17
00:00:50,000 –> 00:00:57,000
It’s not an inbox, it’s an attack surface, cues choke, context scatters across threads forwards, screen shots.
18
00:00:57,000 –> 00:01:00,000
SLA timers start late then expire quietly.
19
00:01:00,000 –> 00:01:02,000
No one notices until the callback is angry.
20
00:01:02,000 –> 00:01:04,000
You don’t miss emails.
21
00:01:04,000 –> 00:01:05,000
You miss intent.
22
00:01:05,000 –> 00:01:06,000
That’s worse.
23
00:01:06,000 –> 00:01:08,000
Slow ticket creation kills trust.
24
00:01:08,000 –> 00:01:12,000
Humans parse paragraphs, copy paste wobbly details.
25
00:01:12,000 –> 00:01:16,000
Guess at the right customer, the right product, the right entitlement.
26
00:01:16,000 –> 00:01:17,000
Required fields?
27
00:01:17,000 –> 00:01:18,000
Sometimes.
28
00:01:18,000 –> 00:01:19,000
Consistency?
29
00:01:19,000 –> 00:01:20,000
Rare.
30
00:01:20,000 –> 00:01:21,000
Ownership?
31
00:01:21,000 –> 00:01:22,000
Delayed.
32
00:01:22,000 –> 00:01:24,000
Meanwhile, the clock doesn’t care.
33
00:01:24,000 –> 00:01:25,000
It keeps moving.
34
00:01:25,000 –> 00:01:29,000
Repetitive classification grinds people down.
35
00:01:29,000 –> 00:01:31,000
Subjects lie, bodies contradict.
36
00:01:31,000 –> 00:01:33,000
Attachments tell a different story.
37
00:01:33,000 –> 00:01:36,000
Agents skim, assume label wrong.
38
00:01:36,000 –> 00:01:37,000
Error stack.
39
00:01:37,000 –> 00:01:40,000
Categories don’t match reality, so routing fails.
40
00:01:40,000 –> 00:01:42,000
Downstream metrics get poisoned.
41
00:01:42,000 –> 00:01:45,000
Leaders think volumes shifted. They didn’t.
42
00:01:45,000 –> 00:01:46,000
Labels did.
43
00:01:46,000 –> 00:01:48,000
Escalation is a maze with dead ends.
44
00:01:48,000 –> 00:01:49,000
You’ve got loopbacks.
45
00:01:49,000 –> 00:01:53,000
You’ve got tribal knowledge stuck in the heads of two seniors who hate vacation.
46
00:01:53,000 –> 00:01:55,000
Tickets stall because watchers weren’t added.
47
00:01:55,000 –> 00:01:57,000
Or the team’s channel wasn’t pinged.
48
00:01:57,000 –> 00:02:00,000
Or the policy note lives in a sharepoint folder.
49
00:02:00,000 –> 00:02:01,000
No one opens.
50
00:02:01,000 –> 00:02:02,000
You call it process.
51
00:02:02,000 –> 00:02:03,000
It’s luck.
52
00:02:03,000 –> 00:02:06,000
High cost per ticket isn’t a line item.
53
00:02:06,000 –> 00:02:10,000
It’s the compounding waste of 30 seconds repeated a thousand times.
54
00:02:10,000 –> 00:02:16,000
Copy, paste, search, toggle, ask, wait, reopen, apologize.
55
00:02:16,000 –> 00:02:17,000
Do it again.
56
00:02:17,000 –> 00:02:20,000
Labor burn hides inside tiny motions.
57
00:02:20,000 –> 00:02:22,000
Multiply by headcount.
58
00:02:22,000 –> 00:02:25,000
And by churn, you pay for the same answer two three times.
59
00:02:25,000 –> 00:02:28,000
User frustration goes silent before it goes loud.
60
00:02:28,000 –> 00:02:31,000
New agents drown because nothing is standardized.
61
00:02:31,000 –> 00:02:34,000
Seniors burn out because everything is escalated.
62
00:02:34,000 –> 00:02:39,000
Customers churn because the first touch is slow and the second touch is confused.
63
00:02:39,000 –> 00:02:43,000
Leaders fly blind because dashboards reflect noise, not truth.
64
00:02:43,000 –> 00:02:45,000
Now the part you don’t want to admit.
65
00:02:45,000 –> 00:02:49,000
Email to case felt easy, one address, dump it into a queue, let humans sort it.
66
00:02:49,000 –> 00:02:51,000
You created the fracture.
67
00:02:51,000 –> 00:02:52,000
This path is ungoverned.
68
00:02:52,000 –> 00:02:54,000
No identity binding on intake.
69
00:02:54,000 –> 00:02:56,000
No canonical format.
70
00:02:56,000 –> 00:02:58,000
No intent taxonomy.
71
00:02:58,000 –> 00:03:00,000
Every message becomes a custom puzzle.
72
00:03:00,000 –> 00:03:02,000
At scale puzzles become fire.
73
00:03:02,000 –> 00:03:04,000
But here’s where it gets interesting.
74
00:03:04,000 –> 00:03:06,000
The same path that breaks you can be standardized.
75
00:03:06,000 –> 00:03:09,000
Intake can be read, understood, normalized.
76
00:03:09,000 –> 00:03:11,000
Intent extracted.
77
00:03:11,000 –> 00:03:12,000
Entities captured.
78
00:03:12,000 –> 00:03:13,000
Confidence measured.
79
00:03:13,000 –> 00:03:15,000
That means tickets created the same way.
80
00:03:15,000 –> 00:03:16,000
Every time.
81
00:03:16,000 –> 00:03:17,000
Feels right.
82
00:03:17,000 –> 00:03:19,000
SLA clock start on time.
83
00:03:19,000 –> 00:03:20,000
Ownership is instant, not eventual.
84
00:03:20,000 –> 00:03:24,000
Everything changes when classification stops being a guess.
85
00:03:24,000 –> 00:03:25,000
You remove the roulette wheel.
86
00:03:25,000 –> 00:03:32,000
You root by skill, capacity and entitlement, not by who arrived first or who shouted loudest.
87
00:03:32,000 –> 00:03:35,000
Escalation becomes a policy gate, not a sticky note.
88
00:03:35,000 –> 00:03:36,000
Watchers attached.
89
00:03:36,000 –> 00:03:37,000
Notes summarized.
90
00:03:37,000 –> 00:03:39,000
Attachments indexed.
91
00:03:39,000 –> 00:03:42,000
Teams pinged with context, not chaos.
92
00:03:42,000 –> 00:03:43,000
You’re thinking cost.
93
00:03:43,000 –> 00:03:44,000
Good.
94
00:03:44,000 –> 00:03:47,000
Your cost particet is labour plus rework plus re-opening.
95
00:03:47,000 –> 00:03:49,000
Cut the manual parsing.
96
00:03:49,000 –> 00:03:51,000
Kill mis-roots.
97
00:03:51,000 –> 00:03:52,000
Prevent re-opening.
98
00:03:52,000 –> 00:03:54,000
The math shifts.
99
00:03:54,000 –> 00:03:57,000
Even small percentages compound at volume.
100
00:03:57,000 –> 00:04:00,000
That’s the only honest way capacity scales without headcount.
101
00:04:00,000 –> 00:04:01,000
You can’t scale chaos.
102
00:04:01,000 –> 00:04:03,000
You standardize the access path.
103
00:04:03,000 –> 00:04:04,000
Or it breaks.
104
00:04:04,000 –> 00:04:07,000
Autonomous agents do this work without blinking.
105
00:04:07,000 –> 00:04:08,000
But only if you give them structure.
106
00:04:08,000 –> 00:04:11,000
Identity, taxonomy, entitlements and routes.
107
00:04:11,000 –> 00:04:13,000
Otherwise you just automate the mess faster.
108
00:04:13,000 –> 00:04:14,000
You already know the truth.
109
00:04:14,000 –> 00:04:16,000
The backlog isn’t a volume problem.
110
00:04:16,000 –> 00:04:17,000
It’s a design problem.
111
00:04:17,000 –> 00:04:18,000
Fix intake.
112
00:04:18,000 –> 00:04:21,000
Then everything downstream starts to look sane.
113
00:04:21,000 –> 00:04:24,000
What autonomous agents actually do?
114
00:04:24,000 –> 00:04:25,000
No hype.
115
00:04:25,000 –> 00:04:26,000
Just mechanics.
116
00:04:26,000 –> 00:04:28,000
Here’s what actually happens.
117
00:04:28,000 –> 00:04:29,000
They read the email.
118
00:04:29,000 –> 00:04:30,000
Not just the words.
119
00:04:30,000 –> 00:04:33,000
The structure, the headers, the thread, the attachments.
120
00:04:33,000 –> 00:04:34,000
They parse intent.
121
00:04:34,000 –> 00:04:35,000
They pull entities.
122
00:04:35,000 –> 00:04:36,000
Order ID.
123
00:04:36,000 –> 00:04:37,000
Serial number.
124
00:04:37,000 –> 00:04:38,000
Tenant.
125
00:04:38,000 –> 00:04:38,000
Asset.
126
00:04:38,000 –> 00:04:39,000
Entitlement.
127
00:04:39,000 –> 00:04:40,000
They score sentiment.
128
00:04:40,000 –> 00:04:41,000
Urgency.
129
00:04:41,000 –> 00:04:43,000
They bind identity when they can.
130
00:04:43,000 –> 00:04:44,000
Domain match.
131
00:04:44,000 –> 00:04:45,000
Contact record.
132
00:04:45,000 –> 00:04:47,000
Previous cases.
133
00:04:47,000 –> 00:04:49,000
If identity is fuzzy, they market.
134
00:04:49,000 –> 00:04:50,000
Confidence.
135
00:04:50,000 –> 00:04:51,000
Threshold.
136
00:04:51,000 –> 00:04:53,000
No guesswork mask the speed.
137
00:04:53,000 –> 00:04:54,000
They extract.
138
00:04:54,000 –> 00:04:55,000
With discipline.
139
00:04:55,000 –> 00:04:56,000
Entity’s land in fields.
140
00:04:56,000 –> 00:04:57,000
Not in notes.
141
00:04:57,000 –> 00:04:59,000
Product maps to the product table.
142
00:04:59,000 –> 00:05:01,000
Subscription maps to entitlement.
143
00:05:01,000 –> 00:05:03,000
Region maps to the right business unit.
144
00:05:03,000 –> 00:05:04,000
Dates normalize.
145
00:05:04,000 –> 00:05:05,000
Time zones handled.
146
00:05:05,000 –> 00:05:06,000
Attachments are inspected.
147
00:05:06,000 –> 00:05:08,000
PDFs are OCR.
148
00:05:08,000 –> 00:05:09,000
Tables parsed.
149
00:05:09,000 –> 00:05:10,000
They don’t skim.
150
00:05:10,000 –> 00:05:11,000
They don’t fatigue.
151
00:05:11,000 –> 00:05:12,000
They don’t forget the second paragraph.
152
00:05:12,000 –> 00:05:13,000
Then they decide.
153
00:05:13,000 –> 00:05:14,000
Case or deflect.
154
00:05:14,000 –> 00:05:17,000
If it’s known and trivial, they start self-service.
155
00:05:17,000 –> 00:05:18,000
A guided flow.
156
00:05:18,000 –> 00:05:20,000
A verified article.
157
00:05:20,000 –> 00:05:21,000
A link with the exact steps.
158
00:05:21,000 –> 00:05:22,000
Not a home page.
159
00:05:22,000 –> 00:05:25,000
If policy allows, they send an acknowledgement instantly.
160
00:05:25,000 –> 00:05:26,000
Case number.
161
00:05:26,000 –> 00:05:28,000
SLA clock visible.
162
00:05:28,000 –> 00:05:29,000
Next steps clear.
163
00:05:29,000 –> 00:05:30,000
No black box language.
164
00:05:30,000 –> 00:05:31,000
No.
165
00:05:31,000 –> 00:05:32,000
We’ll get back to you.
166
00:05:32,000 –> 00:05:34,000
Precision replaces hope.
167
00:05:34,000 –> 00:05:36,000
They auto create the ticket.
168
00:05:36,000 –> 00:05:37,000
Every required field.
169
00:05:37,000 –> 00:05:38,000
Every time.
170
00:05:38,000 –> 00:05:40,000
Q set by skills and capacity.
171
00:05:40,000 –> 00:05:41,000
Priorities.
172
00:05:41,000 –> 00:05:44,000
Priorities set by entitlement and impact.
173
00:05:44,000 –> 00:05:46,000
SLA tied to the contract.
174
00:05:46,000 –> 00:05:47,000
Not a default.
175
00:05:47,000 –> 00:05:48,000
Channel recorded.
176
00:05:48,000 –> 00:05:49,000
Source preserved.
177
00:05:49,000 –> 00:05:51,000
Duplicate detection runs.
178
00:05:51,000 –> 00:05:53,000
If it’s a thread on an open case, they attach it.
179
00:05:53,000 –> 00:05:55,000
No split histories.
180
00:05:55,000 –> 00:05:56,000
No ghost cases.
181
00:05:56,000 –> 00:05:58,000
They categorize with more than keywords.
182
00:05:58,000 –> 00:05:59,000
They use topic models.
183
00:05:59,000 –> 00:06:00,000
Signal stacking.
184
00:06:00,000 –> 00:06:01,000
Subject body attachment.
185
00:06:01,000 –> 00:06:02,000
Past resolutions.
186
00:06:02,000 –> 00:06:05,000
They assign the correct category because they learn the patterns.
187
00:06:05,000 –> 00:06:06,000
Not the obvious ones.
188
00:06:06,000 –> 00:06:07,000
The quiet ones.
189
00:06:07,000 –> 00:06:09,000
When a partner is in the middle of the game,
190
00:06:09,000 –> 00:06:10,000
the obvious ones.
191
00:06:10,000 –> 00:06:11,000
The quiet ones.
192
00:06:11,000 –> 00:06:13,000
When a partner implies a warranty path.
193
00:06:13,000 –> 00:06:15,000
When a phrase implies billing, not technical.
194
00:06:15,000 –> 00:06:18,000
When can’t log in means SSO drift.
195
00:06:18,000 –> 00:06:20,000
Not password reset.
196
00:06:20,000 –> 00:06:22,000
They don’t take the subject line at face value.
197
00:06:22,000 –> 00:06:24,000
Neither should you.
198
00:06:24,000 –> 00:06:25,000
They route.
199
00:06:25,000 –> 00:06:26,000
Unified routing.
200
00:06:26,000 –> 00:06:27,000
Skills.
201
00:06:27,000 –> 00:06:28,000
Capacity.
202
00:06:28,000 –> 00:06:29,000
Calendar.
203
00:06:29,000 –> 00:06:30,000
History.
204
00:06:30,000 –> 00:06:32,000
They prefer agents who fix the issue fastest
205
00:06:32,000 –> 00:06:34,000
with the fewest re-opening.
206
00:06:34,000 –> 00:06:36,000
Not the ones who click resolve first.
207
00:06:36,000 –> 00:06:37,000
They watch SLA targets.
208
00:06:37,000 –> 00:06:39,000
They send to the team that can meet the clock.
209
00:06:39,000 –> 00:06:42,000
If queues back up, they surface the constraint.
210
00:06:42,000 –> 00:06:43,000
It’s math.
211
00:06:43,000 –> 00:06:44,000
Not politics.
212
00:06:44,000 –> 00:06:46,000
They draft the response.
213
00:06:46,000 –> 00:06:48,000
Copilot composes.
214
00:06:48,000 –> 00:06:50,000
Using case context.
215
00:06:50,000 –> 00:06:52,000
Knowledge articles and policy.
216
00:06:52,000 –> 00:06:53,000
Tonaligned.
217
00:06:53,000 –> 00:06:54,000
Language matched.
218
00:06:54,000 –> 00:06:55,000
Links verified.
219
00:06:55,000 –> 00:06:57,000
No lorum Ipsom mistakes.
220
00:06:57,000 –> 00:06:58,000
Agents review.
221
00:06:58,000 –> 00:07:00,000
One click to send.
222
00:07:00,000 –> 00:07:03,000
30 seconds saved becomes hours over a day.
223
00:07:03,000 –> 00:07:06,000
Aged he goes down because words appear ready.
224
00:07:06,000 –> 00:07:08,000
Not because corners were cut.
225
00:07:08,000 –> 00:07:10,000
They escalate when signals trip.
226
00:07:10,000 –> 00:07:12,000
Confidence below threshold.
227
00:07:12,000 –> 00:07:14,000
Sentiment spikes negative.
228
00:07:14,000 –> 00:07:17,000
VIP flag present.
229
00:07:17,000 –> 00:07:19,000
Safety terms detected.
230
00:07:19,000 –> 00:07:20,000
They push to human.
231
00:07:20,000 –> 00:07:23,000
With a summary, bulleted, timeline compressed.
232
00:07:23,000 –> 00:07:24,000
Attachments labeled.
233
00:07:24,000 –> 00:07:26,000
Policy queues highlighted.
234
00:07:26,000 –> 00:07:29,000
They ping the expert in teams with context embedded.
235
00:07:29,000 –> 00:07:30,000
No fishing through threads.
236
00:07:30,000 –> 00:07:32,000
No, what’s the history?
237
00:07:32,000 –> 00:07:34,000
Slack replaces scramble.
238
00:07:34,000 –> 00:07:35,000
They follow up.
239
00:07:35,000 –> 00:07:40,000
If the customer goes silent, they nudge at the SLA defined interval.
240
00:07:40,000 –> 00:07:43,000
If the customer replies, they reopen with context.
241
00:07:43,000 –> 00:07:45,000
No duplicate.
242
00:07:45,000 –> 00:07:46,000
No lost ownership.
243
00:07:46,000 –> 00:07:51,000
If resolution criteria are met, they resolve with clear notes.
244
00:07:51,000 –> 00:07:53,000
Evidence attached audit trail intact.
245
00:07:53,000 –> 00:07:55,000
Every action stamped.
246
00:07:55,000 –> 00:07:56,000
You want compliance?
247
00:07:56,000 –> 00:07:57,000
This is the spine.
248
00:07:57,000 –> 00:07:58,000
They learn.
249
00:07:58,000 –> 00:08:01,000
Topic clustering shows spikes.
250
00:08:01,000 –> 00:08:02,000
New errors.
251
00:08:02,000 –> 00:08:04,000
Seasonal drifts.
252
00:08:04,000 –> 00:08:06,000
They nudge knowledge managers.
253
00:08:06,000 –> 00:08:08,000
This article is stale.
254
00:08:08,000 –> 00:08:09,000
They suggest edits.
255
00:08:09,000 –> 00:08:13,000
They propose a new article when patterns repeat without a match.
256
00:08:13,000 –> 00:08:14,000
They don’t override judgment.
257
00:08:14,000 –> 00:08:16,000
They surface candidates.
258
00:08:16,000 –> 00:08:17,000
Humans approve.
259
00:08:17,000 –> 00:08:18,000
The loop closes.
260
00:08:18,000 –> 00:08:19,000
Faster each week.
261
00:08:19,000 –> 00:08:20,000
They protect.
262
00:08:20,000 –> 00:08:23,000
PII redaction on drafts and summaries.
263
00:08:23,000 –> 00:08:26,000
Masked before storage if policy requires.
264
00:08:26,000 –> 00:08:28,000
Data retention respected.
265
00:08:28,000 –> 00:08:30,000
DLP rules enforced.
266
00:08:30,000 –> 00:08:32,000
Roll-based access gates.
267
00:08:32,000 –> 00:08:33,000
Every view.
268
00:08:33,000 –> 00:08:36,000
You don’t want shadow copies leaking in email threads.
269
00:08:36,000 –> 00:08:37,000
Neither do they.
270
00:08:37,000 –> 00:08:39,000
Evidence lives in the case.
271
00:08:39,000 –> 00:08:41,000
Not in someone’s downloads folder.
272
00:08:41,000 –> 00:08:42,000
They don’t replace agents.
273
00:08:42,000 –> 00:08:43,000
They clear the noise.
274
00:08:43,000 –> 00:08:45,000
They standardize intake.
275
00:08:45,000 –> 00:08:46,000
They make routing honest.
276
00:08:46,000 –> 00:08:49,000
They front load context so humans can do nuance.
277
00:08:49,000 –> 00:08:50,000
Empathy.
278
00:08:50,000 –> 00:08:51,000
Negotiation.
279
00:08:51,000 –> 00:08:52,000
Exceptions.
280
00:08:52,000 –> 00:08:54,000
The work only humans should touch.
281
00:08:54,000 –> 00:08:56,000
You already feel the difference.
282
00:08:56,000 –> 00:08:57,000
Intake stops being roulette.
283
00:08:57,000 –> 00:08:59,000
SLA clock stop bleeding.
284
00:08:59,000 –> 00:09:01,000
The reports start telling the truth.
285
00:09:01,000 –> 00:09:02,000
And the backlog?
286
00:09:02,000 –> 00:09:04,000
It stops being a moral failing.
287
00:09:04,000 –> 00:09:08,000
It becomes a cue the system can actually hold.
288
00:09:08,000 –> 00:09:10,000
Why Dynamics 365?
289
00:09:10,000 –> 00:09:12,000
Is the perfect home?
290
00:09:12,000 –> 00:09:14,000
Context control continuity.
291
00:09:14,000 –> 00:09:15,000
Place matters.
292
00:09:15,000 –> 00:09:16,000
Identity lives here.
293
00:09:16,000 –> 00:09:17,000
Context 2.
294
00:09:17,000 –> 00:09:19,000
You need both in one system.
295
00:09:19,000 –> 00:09:22,000
Integrated customer records are the spine.
296
00:09:22,000 –> 00:09:23,000
Account.
297
00:09:23,000 –> 00:09:24,000
Contact.
298
00:09:24,000 –> 00:09:25,000
Asset.
299
00:09:25,000 –> 00:09:26,000
Entitlement.
300
00:09:26,000 –> 00:09:27,000
Contract.
301
00:09:27,000 –> 00:09:28,000
All in DITAverse.
302
00:09:28,000 –> 00:09:29,000
Spreadsheets.
303
00:09:29,000 –> 00:09:32,000
When the agent opens the case, they don’t guess who this is.
304
00:09:32,000 –> 00:09:33,000
They see history.
305
00:09:33,000 –> 00:09:34,000
Orders.
306
00:09:34,000 –> 00:09:35,000
Renewals.
307
00:09:35,000 –> 00:09:36,000
Past failures.
308
00:09:36,000 –> 00:09:38,000
Promises made.
309
00:09:38,000 –> 00:09:39,000
Promises kept.
310
00:09:39,000 –> 00:09:42,000
The agent doesn’t chase context across tabs.
311
00:09:42,000 –> 00:09:44,000
It’s already bound to identity.
312
00:09:44,000 –> 00:09:45,000
That kills rework.
313
00:09:45,000 –> 00:09:48,000
That narrows the blast radius when something slips.
314
00:09:48,000 –> 00:09:50,000
CRM context meets AI context.
315
00:09:50,000 –> 00:09:51,000
Case timeline.
316
00:09:51,000 –> 00:09:53,000
Emails, transcripts, attachments.
317
00:09:53,000 –> 00:09:55,000
Copilot memory stitches the signal.
318
00:09:55,000 –> 00:09:59,000
It knows what was said, what was promised, which steps failed.
319
00:09:59,000 –> 00:10:03,000
It drafts with that memory, not generic templates.
320
00:10:03,000 –> 00:10:04,000
The summary isn’t theatre.
321
00:10:04,000 –> 00:10:10,000
It’s a compressed, searchable artifact that any supervisor can audit in ten seconds.
322
00:10:10,000 –> 00:10:11,000
That’s how you stop.
323
00:10:11,000 –> 00:10:13,000
He said, she said, disputes.
324
00:10:13,000 –> 00:10:15,000
The tape exists in the record.
325
00:10:15,000 –> 00:10:16,000
Not in someone’s head.
326
00:10:16,000 –> 00:10:19,000
Unified in box plus omnichannel lowers friction.
327
00:10:19,000 –> 00:10:21,000
Email chat voice social.
328
00:10:21,000 –> 00:10:23,000
One agent desktop.
329
00:10:23,000 –> 00:10:24,000
One Q-math.
330
00:10:24,000 –> 00:10:28,000
Quoting treats channels as inputs, not separate fiefdoms.
331
00:10:28,000 –> 00:10:30,000
A chat that turns into email.
332
00:10:30,000 –> 00:10:31,000
Same case.
333
00:10:31,000 –> 00:10:33,000
A call that follows a form.
334
00:10:33,000 –> 00:10:34,000
Same case.
335
00:10:34,000 –> 00:10:37,000
You don’t duplicate history because someone switched mediums.
336
00:10:37,000 –> 00:10:40,000
Customers don’t care about your channel silos.
337
00:10:40,000 –> 00:10:41,000
Neither should your system.
338
00:10:41,000 –> 00:10:42,000
Built in routing is honest.
339
00:10:42,000 –> 00:10:43,000
Skills.
340
00:10:43,000 –> 00:10:44,000
Capacity.
341
00:10:44,000 –> 00:10:46,000
Historical performance.
342
00:10:46,000 –> 00:10:47,000
SLA targets.
343
00:10:47,000 –> 00:10:49,000
It doesn’t route to the loudest team.
344
00:10:49,000 –> 00:10:50,000
It routes to the right team.
345
00:10:50,000 –> 00:10:51,000
And it learns.
346
00:10:51,000 –> 00:10:55,000
If someone consistently resolves without re-opening, they’re weighted.
347
00:10:55,000 –> 00:10:58,000
If a Q-saturates capacity threshold strip,
348
00:10:58,000 –> 00:11:02,000
supervisors see the constraint before the SLA burns.
349
00:11:02,000 –> 00:11:05,000
That changes staffing conversations from anecdotes to math.
350
00:11:05,000 –> 00:11:08,000
Native handover to agents isn’t a handbrake.
351
00:11:08,000 –> 00:11:09,000
It’s seamless.
352
00:11:09,000 –> 00:11:10,000
Summaries.
353
00:11:10,000 –> 00:11:11,000
Surfaced.
354
00:11:11,000 –> 00:11:13,000
Next best actions proposed.
355
00:11:13,000 –> 00:11:15,000
Knowledge links preloaded.
356
00:11:15,000 –> 00:11:20,000
If expertise is external, the system opens the door.
357
00:11:20,000 –> 00:11:23,000
Teams escalation with context injected.
358
00:11:23,000 –> 00:11:25,000
The expert doesn’t join blind.
359
00:11:25,000 –> 00:11:28,000
They read the compressed timeline and decide fast.
360
00:11:28,000 –> 00:11:32,000
Escalation becomes a controlled bridge, not a panic sprint.
361
00:11:32,000 –> 00:11:34,000
Governance is not an afterthought.
362
00:11:34,000 –> 00:11:35,000
It’s the spine.
363
00:11:35,000 –> 00:11:37,000
Audit logs on every state change.
364
00:11:37,000 –> 00:11:38,000
Who touched what?
365
00:11:38,000 –> 00:11:39,000
When? Why?
366
00:11:39,000 –> 00:11:42,000
Data retention aligned to policy?
367
00:11:42,000 –> 00:11:44,000
PII controls enforced.
368
00:11:44,000 –> 00:11:46,000
Redaction on summaries if required.
369
00:11:46,000 –> 00:11:49,000
DLP policies block exfiltration attempts.
370
00:11:49,000 –> 00:11:52,000
Roll-based access limits curiosity.
371
00:11:52,000 –> 00:11:55,000
You don’t want helpful downloads living in personal folders.
372
00:11:55,000 –> 00:11:58,000
Evidence stays inside the case boundary.
373
00:11:58,000 –> 00:11:59,000
That’s how you sleep.
374
00:11:59,000 –> 00:12:02,000
Security model matters because identity is power.
375
00:12:02,000 –> 00:12:05,000
Dynamics sits inside Azure AD.
376
00:12:05,000 –> 00:12:07,000
Conditional access applies.
377
00:12:07,000 –> 00:12:08,000
MFA enforced.
378
00:12:08,000 –> 00:12:12,000
Leased privilege for agents, supervisors, admins.
379
00:12:12,000 –> 00:12:15,000
If someone leaves, access evaporates at the directory.
380
00:12:15,000 –> 00:12:16,000
Tokens die.
381
00:12:16,000 –> 00:12:18,000
No rogue logins from forgotten portals.
382
00:12:18,000 –> 00:12:21,000
You remove the shadow login vector at the root.
383
00:12:21,000 –> 00:12:23,000
Continuity is daily resilience.
384
00:12:23,000 –> 00:12:24,000
Agents swap shifts.
385
00:12:24,000 –> 00:12:25,000
Cases don’t lose memory.
386
00:12:25,000 –> 00:12:27,000
You get handover summaries.
387
00:12:27,000 –> 00:12:32,000
Not novels, bullet truth, steps tried, steps pending, risks flagged.
388
00:12:32,000 –> 00:12:34,000
The next human doesn’t start from zero.
389
00:12:34,000 –> 00:12:39,000
That’s how average handling time moves without managers preaching work faster.
390
00:12:39,000 –> 00:12:42,000
The system carries the load between people.
391
00:12:42,000 –> 00:12:44,000
Knowledge management is attached to reality.
392
00:12:44,000 –> 00:12:49,000
The knowledge management agent proposes updates from live patterns.
393
00:12:49,000 –> 00:12:51,000
Articles aren’t sacred.
394
00:12:51,000 –> 00:12:52,000
They evolve.
395
00:12:52,000 –> 00:12:54,000
Stale content gets flagged.
396
00:12:54,000 –> 00:12:56,000
New issues trigger drafts.
397
00:12:56,000 –> 00:12:59,000
Review happens in flow, not in quarterly committees.
398
00:12:59,000 –> 00:13:02,000
Agents get tested verified answers in the thread.
399
00:13:02,000 –> 00:13:03,000
Not a wiki rabbit hole.
400
00:13:03,000 –> 00:13:05,000
Analytics aren’t vanity.
401
00:13:05,000 –> 00:13:08,000
Topic clustering shows what’s breaking right now.
402
00:13:08,000 –> 00:13:09,000
Spikes tied to product.
403
00:13:09,000 –> 00:13:10,000
Region, version.
404
00:13:10,000 –> 00:13:13,000
You don’t wait for angry volume to prove a trend.
405
00:13:13,000 –> 00:13:14,000
You see the slope early.
406
00:13:14,000 –> 00:13:16,000
You push fixes upstream.
407
00:13:16,000 –> 00:13:18,000
Customer service stops being a bucket brigade.
408
00:13:18,000 –> 00:13:20,000
It becomes a sensor network.
409
00:13:20,000 –> 00:13:23,000
Omni-channel transcription and sentiment feed the loop.
410
00:13:23,000 –> 00:13:25,000
Voice becomes text.
411
00:13:25,000 –> 00:13:27,000
Text becomes signal.
412
00:13:27,000 –> 00:13:31,000
Escalation policies fire on tone as well as content.
413
00:13:31,000 –> 00:13:34,000
VIP flags stack with negative sentiment to force human review.
414
00:13:34,000 –> 00:13:36,000
But you don’t learn about the meltdown from Twitter.
415
00:13:36,000 –> 00:13:38,000
You intercept it in stream.
416
00:13:38,000 –> 00:13:41,000
Licensing and capacity live where the work lives.
417
00:13:41,000 –> 00:13:44,000
A couple pilot rights bound to users who need them.
418
00:13:44,000 –> 00:13:47,000
AI execution against data they’re allowed to see.
419
00:13:47,000 –> 00:13:49,000
Telemetry shows utilization.
420
00:13:49,000 –> 00:13:51,000
You don’t buy blunt licenses in fear.
421
00:13:51,000 –> 00:13:53,000
You size with evidence.
422
00:13:53,000 –> 00:13:55,000
Expand on measured lift, not vibes.
423
00:13:55,000 –> 00:13:57,000
This is why place matters.
424
00:13:57,000 –> 00:14:00,000
Context, control, continuity.
425
00:14:00,000 –> 00:14:01,000
One home.
426
00:14:01,000 –> 00:14:02,000
One identity.
427
00:14:02,000 –> 00:14:03,000
One audit trail.
428
00:14:03,000 –> 00:14:05,000
The agents do the repetitive truth.
429
00:14:05,000 –> 00:14:06,000
Humans handle the edge.
430
00:14:06,000 –> 00:14:07,000
The handoff is clean.
431
00:14:07,000 –> 00:14:08,000
The record is clean.
432
00:14:08,000 –> 00:14:09,000
The math is clean.
433
00:14:09,000 –> 00:14:11,000
You already know the other option.
434
00:14:11,000 –> 00:14:12,000
Silas.
435
00:14:12,000 –> 00:14:13,000
Copy paste.
436
00:14:13,000 –> 00:14:14,000
Lost time.
437
00:14:14,000 –> 00:14:15,000
Lost trust.
438
00:14:15,000 –> 00:14:16,000
Don’t do that.
439
00:14:16,000 –> 00:14:20,000
Put the agents where identity already lives.
440
00:14:20,000 –> 00:14:22,000
Let the system carry the weight.
441
00:14:22,000 –> 00:14:24,000
Let humans speak to humans.
442
00:14:24,000 –> 00:14:28,000
Three key value areas where the friction falls.
443
00:14:28,000 –> 00:14:31,000
Start with the friction you feel first.
444
00:14:31,000 –> 00:14:32,000
Self-service empowerment.
445
00:14:32,000 –> 00:14:34,000
Not a chatbot circus.
446
00:14:34,000 –> 00:14:35,000
Verified steps.
447
00:14:35,000 –> 00:14:37,000
Bound to identity.
448
00:14:37,000 –> 00:14:40,000
When the agent reads a known problem, it doesn’t stall.
449
00:14:40,000 –> 00:14:43,000
It initiates a guided flow, targeted article.
450
00:14:43,000 –> 00:14:44,000
Exact actions.
451
00:14:44,000 –> 00:14:48,000
If the device is registered, steps reference that asset.
452
00:14:48,000 –> 00:14:52,000
If the entitlement covers replacement, the path includes it.
453
00:14:52,000 –> 00:14:56,000
That means customers get real outcomes without touching a queue.
454
00:14:56,000 –> 00:14:57,000
The proof?
455
00:14:57,000 –> 00:14:59,000
Deflection with evidence.
456
00:14:59,000 –> 00:15:02,000
Case created only when signals say human.
457
00:15:02,000 –> 00:15:05,000
You remove the low value pings that drown your seniors.
458
00:15:05,000 –> 00:15:08,000
And you stop teaching customers that email is the only door.
459
00:15:08,000 –> 00:15:10,000
Automated ticket creation.
460
00:15:10,000 –> 00:15:11,000
Nothing drops.
461
00:15:11,000 –> 00:15:13,000
No field guessing.
462
00:15:13,000 –> 00:15:15,000
No half-formed cases that rot in triage.
463
00:15:15,000 –> 00:15:21,000
Every intake has the right customer, asset, entitlement, category, priority, SLA.
464
00:15:21,000 –> 00:15:25,000
The SLA clock starts when intake is understood.
465
00:15:25,000 –> 00:15:28,000
Not when someone finally opens the email.
466
00:15:28,000 –> 00:15:30,000
Duplicates link, threads attach.
467
00:15:30,000 –> 00:15:32,000
History stays whole.
468
00:15:32,000 –> 00:15:35,000
That kills the silent breaches.
469
00:15:35,000 –> 00:15:37,000
Those hours where no one knows their bleeding.
470
00:15:37,000 –> 00:15:39,000
And it makes dashboards honest.
471
00:15:39,000 –> 00:15:42,000
You can plan staffing on real arrival times.
472
00:15:42,000 –> 00:15:45,000
Not when busy people finally clicked new case.
473
00:15:45,000 –> 00:15:46,000
Human escalation.
474
00:15:46,000 –> 00:15:48,000
AI clears the noise.
475
00:15:48,000 –> 00:15:49,000
Humans do nuance.
476
00:15:49,000 –> 00:15:51,000
That’s the point.
477
00:15:51,000 –> 00:15:59,000
When thresholds trip, low confidence, negative sentiment, a VIP tag, the system hands the case to a human with clarity.
478
00:15:59,000 –> 00:16:01,000
Summary tight.
479
00:16:01,000 –> 00:16:02,000
Attachments labeled.
480
00:16:02,000 –> 00:16:04,000
Next best action suggested.
481
00:16:04,000 –> 00:16:06,000
Policy references linked.
482
00:16:06,000 –> 00:16:08,000
And the team’s ping includes context.
483
00:16:08,000 –> 00:16:09,000
No fishing.
484
00:16:09,000 –> 00:16:10,000
No warm-up.
485
00:16:10,000 –> 00:16:14,000
The human starts at the decision, not at the archaeology.
486
00:16:14,000 –> 00:16:16,000
Empathy and negotiation live here.
487
00:16:16,000 –> 00:16:17,000
Exceptions live here.
488
00:16:17,000 –> 00:16:18,000
Discounts.
489
00:16:18,000 –> 00:16:19,000
Replacements.
490
00:16:19,000 –> 00:16:20,000
Policy bends.
491
00:16:20,000 –> 00:16:23,000
The work machines should never own.
492
00:16:23,000 –> 00:16:25,000
Quantifiable impact.
493
00:16:25,000 –> 00:16:30,000
H.T. drops because drafting, searching and data entry vanish.
494
00:16:30,000 –> 00:16:33,000
The range you’ve seen is 25 to 40 percent down.
495
00:16:33,000 –> 00:16:39,000
First contact resolution rises because the right agent gets the right case with the right context.
496
00:16:39,000 –> 00:16:42,000
Numbers land in the 15 to 30 percent lift.
497
00:16:42,000 –> 00:16:45,000
Reopening’s fall when summaries and knowledge are standard.
498
00:16:45,000 –> 00:16:47,000
30 percent down isn’t fantasy.
499
00:16:47,000 –> 00:16:49,000
It’s a function of fewer misses.
500
00:16:49,000 –> 00:16:50,000
That compounding matters.
501
00:16:50,000 –> 00:16:52,000
Rework evaporates.
502
00:16:52,000 –> 00:16:54,000
Over time shrinks.
503
00:16:54,000 –> 00:16:57,000
Cost-particket moves for real, not by squeezing people.
504
00:16:57,000 –> 00:16:58,000
Manager outcomes.
505
00:16:58,000 –> 00:17:00,000
Fewer handoffs.
506
00:17:00,000 –> 00:17:02,000
Cleaner audits.
507
00:17:02,000 –> 00:17:04,000
Predictible staffing.
508
00:17:04,000 –> 00:17:06,000
Unified routing exposes bottlenecks.
509
00:17:06,000 –> 00:17:08,000
Capacity models get simple.
510
00:17:08,000 –> 00:17:09,000
You can forecast.
511
00:17:09,000 –> 00:17:10,000
You can defend headcount.
512
00:17:10,000 –> 00:17:14,000
And when the auditor asks, why did you resolve this in four hours?
513
00:17:14,000 –> 00:17:16,000
The evidence is in the case.
514
00:17:16,000 –> 00:17:17,000
SLA applied.
515
00:17:17,000 –> 00:17:18,000
Steps taken.
516
00:17:18,000 –> 00:17:20,000
Customer responses logged.
517
00:17:20,000 –> 00:17:21,000
Redactions in place.
518
00:17:21,000 –> 00:17:23,000
You don’t argue memory.
519
00:17:23,000 –> 00:17:24,000
You show the record.
520
00:17:24,000 –> 00:17:26,000
Now the pattern you’ll feel after week two.
521
00:17:26,000 –> 00:17:27,000
The queue goes quiet.
522
00:17:27,000 –> 00:17:28,000
Not empty.
523
00:17:28,000 –> 00:17:29,000
Quiet.
524
00:17:29,000 –> 00:17:30,000
Spikes still arrive.
525
00:17:30,000 –> 00:17:32,000
But they don’t feel like threat.
526
00:17:32,000 –> 00:17:33,000
Because they root clean.
527
00:17:33,000 –> 00:17:35,000
Because self-service absorbs the trivial.
528
00:17:35,000 –> 00:17:38,000
Because agents see summaries, not walls of text.
529
00:17:38,000 –> 00:17:41,000
That’s the moment you stop firefighting and start improving.
530
00:17:41,000 –> 00:17:44,000
Topic clusters surface the next fix to automate.
531
00:17:44,000 –> 00:17:48,000
Knowledge agents propose the next article to patch.
532
00:17:48,000 –> 00:17:50,000
Each loop you close makes the next week lighter.
533
00:17:50,000 –> 00:17:53,000
Everything changes when you stop treating AI as a mascot
534
00:17:53,000 –> 00:17:55,000
and treated as intake controls.
535
00:17:55,000 –> 00:17:56,000
Self-service where it’s safe.
536
00:17:56,000 –> 00:17:58,000
Automation where it’s repetitive.
537
00:17:58,000 –> 00:18:00,000
Humans where judgment lives.
538
00:18:00,000 –> 00:18:02,000
Friction falls in three places.
539
00:18:02,000 –> 00:18:03,000
Before the queue.
540
00:18:03,000 –> 00:18:04,000
At the queue.
541
00:18:04,000 –> 00:18:05,000
And at the handoff.
542
00:18:05,000 –> 00:18:06,000
That’s the entire game.
543
00:18:06,000 –> 00:18:07,000
But talk is cheap.
544
00:18:07,000 –> 00:18:09,000
Watch it hold under load.
545
00:18:09,000 –> 00:18:11,000
Real-world example.
546
00:18:11,000 –> 00:18:13,000
One day hundreds of emails.
547
00:18:13,000 –> 00:18:14,000
Retail ops.
548
00:18:14,000 –> 00:18:15,000
Anonymized.
549
00:18:15,000 –> 00:18:16,000
Hundreds of emails daily.
550
00:18:16,000 –> 00:18:17,000
Orders.
551
00:18:17,000 –> 00:18:18,000
Returns.
552
00:18:18,000 –> 00:18:19,000
Damaged shipments.
553
00:18:19,000 –> 00:18:20,000
Billing disputes.
554
00:18:20,000 –> 00:18:22,000
Baseline was ugly.
555
00:18:22,000 –> 00:18:24,000
Average handling time.
556
00:18:24,000 –> 00:18:28,000
High bloated by manual drafting and tap switching.
557
00:18:28,000 –> 00:18:31,000
First contact resolution week because routing misfired.
558
00:18:31,000 –> 00:18:34,000
Cost-per-ticket rising with overtime.
559
00:18:34,000 –> 00:18:37,000
Agents exhaust it leader skeptical.
560
00:18:37,000 –> 00:18:39,000
Day one with agents on.
561
00:18:39,000 –> 00:18:41,000
Email intake lands in a governed queue.
562
00:18:41,000 –> 00:18:43,000
The system reads each message.
563
00:18:43,000 –> 00:18:46,000
Extracts product order ID customer identity sentiment urgency.
564
00:18:46,000 –> 00:18:51,000
If the sender is unknown it attempts a match by domain and thread.
565
00:18:51,000 –> 00:18:53,000
Confidence scores applied.
566
00:18:53,000 –> 00:18:55,000
No blind assumptions.
567
00:18:55,000 –> 00:18:56,000
Attachments get scanned.
568
00:18:56,000 –> 00:18:59,000
Photos of damaged goods are labeled.
569
00:18:59,000 –> 00:19:01,000
PDFs OCR for order numbers.
570
00:19:01,000 –> 00:19:03,000
Categorization stops being roulette.
571
00:19:03,000 –> 00:19:08,000
Topic models waste subject, body, attachment, and prior resolutions.
572
00:19:08,000 –> 00:19:11,000
My package didn’t arrive no longer routes to technical.
573
00:19:11,000 –> 00:19:14,000
It goes to logistics with delivery exception.
574
00:19:14,000 –> 00:19:17,000
Recognized from the tracking screenshot.
575
00:19:17,000 –> 00:19:23,000
Count log in triage distinguishes SSO drift from true credential resets.
576
00:19:23,000 –> 00:19:26,000
Warntie phrases trigger entitlement checks.
577
00:19:26,000 –> 00:19:28,000
Priority sets by contract not emotion.
578
00:19:28,000 –> 00:19:32,000
Tickets auto create with all required fields.
579
00:19:32,000 –> 00:19:34,000
Queue assigned by skills and capacity.
580
00:19:34,000 –> 00:19:36,000
SLA bound to entitlement.
581
00:19:36,000 –> 00:19:38,000
Duplicates detected.
582
00:19:38,000 –> 00:19:40,000
Threads attached to existing cases.
583
00:19:40,000 –> 00:19:41,000
No split histories.
584
00:19:41,000 –> 00:19:42,000
No ghost cases.
585
00:19:42,000 –> 00:19:46,000
The clock starts when the system understands not when a person notices.
586
00:19:46,000 –> 00:19:48,000
Copilot drafts acknowledgments and next steps.
587
00:19:48,000 –> 00:19:50,000
Tone aligned to brand.
588
00:19:50,000 –> 00:19:52,000
Links verify to the exact article section.
589
00:19:52,000 –> 00:19:54,000
Not a generic help home.
590
00:19:54,000 –> 00:19:57,000
Agents review and send in seconds.
591
00:19:57,000 –> 00:20:00,000
Replyse feel human because context is real.
592
00:20:00,000 –> 00:20:02,000
That saves minutes per case multiplied by hundreds.
593
00:20:02,000 –> 00:20:05,000
H.T. bends down without pep talks.
594
00:20:05,000 –> 00:20:07,000
Complex cases escalate.
595
00:20:07,000 –> 00:20:08,000
Cleanly.
596
00:20:08,000 –> 00:20:11,000
Safety terms. V.I.P flags.
597
00:20:11,000 –> 00:20:12,000
Low confidence.
598
00:20:12,000 –> 00:20:14,000
Or negative sentiment trigger hand over.
599
00:20:14,000 –> 00:20:16,000
Summary is concise.
600
00:20:16,000 –> 00:20:18,000
Timeline compressed.
601
00:20:18,000 –> 00:20:19,000
Attachments labeled.
602
00:20:19,000 –> 00:20:21,000
Policy queues highlighted.
603
00:20:21,000 –> 00:20:27,000
Teams ping fires to the right expert channel with case context embedded.
604
00:20:27,000 –> 00:20:29,000
The senior doesn’t ask what’s the story.
605
00:20:29,000 –> 00:20:31,000
They read the story and act.
606
00:20:31,000 –> 00:20:33,000
Follow ups run on policy.
607
00:20:33,000 –> 00:20:35,000
If customers go silent.
608
00:20:35,000 –> 00:20:39,000
Nudges land at contract defined intervals.
609
00:20:39,000 –> 00:20:43,000
If they respond the case reopens with context restored.
610
00:20:43,000 –> 00:20:44,000
No duplicates.
611
00:20:44,000 –> 00:20:45,000
No ownership drift.
612
00:20:45,000 –> 00:20:47,000
When resolution criteria are met.
613
00:20:47,000 –> 00:20:50,000
The case closes with clean notes.
614
00:20:50,000 –> 00:20:51,000
Evidence attached.
615
00:20:51,000 –> 00:20:53,000
Audit trail intact.
616
00:20:53,000 –> 00:20:57,000
Supervisors can scan 10 cases in 5 minutes and actually see reality.
617
00:20:57,000 –> 00:20:59,000
After 4 weeks numbers move.
618
00:20:59,000 –> 00:21:04,000
Average handling time down in the 30% range because drafting and data entry disappeared.
619
00:21:04,000 –> 00:21:09,000
First contact resolution up around 20% because routing got honest.
620
00:21:09,000 –> 00:21:13,000
Reopening down near 30% because summaries and knowledge consistency cut misses.
621
00:21:13,000 –> 00:21:15,000
Cost-particket followed.
622
00:21:15,000 –> 00:21:16,000
Over time eased.
623
00:21:16,000 –> 00:21:21,000
New agents ramped faster because they read good summaries instead of raw chaos.
624
00:21:21,000 –> 00:21:22,000
There’s a softer shift.
625
00:21:22,000 –> 00:21:25,000
The morning backlog stopped being a threat.
626
00:21:25,000 –> 00:21:26,000
It became a plan.
627
00:21:26,000 –> 00:21:29,000
Spikes from a vendor defect showed up as a topic cluster.
628
00:21:29,000 –> 00:21:33,000
Managers pushed a targeted message to the self-service flow.
629
00:21:33,000 –> 00:21:35,000
With the known fix.
630
00:21:35,000 –> 00:21:38,000
The volume bent before customers called twice.
631
00:21:38,000 –> 00:21:41,000
That’s what proactive looks like when the system listens.
632
00:21:41,000 –> 00:21:42,000
Compliance didn’t flinch.
633
00:21:42,000 –> 00:21:44,000
P.I. Redaction ran on summaries.
634
00:21:44,000 –> 00:21:45,000
Data stayed in the record.
635
00:21:45,000 –> 00:21:47,000
Audit logs tracked every change.
636
00:21:47,000 –> 00:21:48,000
Retention applied.
637
00:21:48,000 –> 00:21:51,000
DLP blocked exfiltration.
638
00:21:51,000 –> 00:21:53,000
Roll-based access contained curiosity.
639
00:21:53,000 –> 00:21:56,000
When legal ask for the full trail on a dispute it took minutes.
640
00:21:56,000 –> 00:21:57,000
Not days.
641
00:21:57,000 –> 00:21:59,000
Did agents get replaced?
642
00:21:59,000 –> 00:22:00,000
No.
643
00:22:00,000 –> 00:22:01,000
They got space.
644
00:22:01,000 –> 00:22:03,000
They handled edge cases.
645
00:22:03,000 –> 00:22:04,000
Negotiations.
646
00:22:04,000 –> 00:22:05,000
Exceptions.
647
00:22:05,000 –> 00:22:10,000
Campaigning for customers with real context at their fingertips.
648
00:22:10,000 –> 00:22:11,000
Atrition cooled.
649
00:22:11,000 –> 00:22:12,000
Satisfaction ticked up.
650
00:22:12,000 –> 00:22:14,000
The queue felt fair.
651
00:22:14,000 –> 00:22:15,000
The work felt like work.
652
00:22:15,000 –> 00:22:16,000
Not noise.
653
00:22:16,000 –> 00:22:17,000
That’s one day.
654
00:22:17,000 –> 00:22:18,000
Hundreds of emails.
655
00:22:18,000 –> 00:22:19,000
Held.
656
00:22:19,000 –> 00:22:20,000
Not by heroics.
657
00:22:20,000 –> 00:22:22,000
By standardization.
658
00:22:22,000 –> 00:22:24,000
Intake became honest.
659
00:22:24,000 –> 00:22:25,000
Routing became math.
660
00:22:25,000 –> 00:22:27,000
Handoffs became clean.
661
00:22:27,000 –> 00:22:28,000
You don’t need a miracle.
662
00:22:28,000 –> 00:22:30,000
You need a spine.
663
00:22:30,000 –> 00:22:32,000
Pitfalls to avoid.
664
00:22:32,000 –> 00:22:34,000
The quiet ways it breaks.
665
00:22:34,000 –> 00:22:37,000
Poor data quality kills automation quietly.
666
00:22:37,000 –> 00:22:38,000
Dirty categories.
667
00:22:38,000 –> 00:22:40,000
Stale product lists.
668
00:22:40,000 –> 00:22:42,000
Missing entitlements.
669
00:22:42,000 –> 00:22:46,000
The agent can’t map to truth if your truth is rotten.
670
00:22:46,000 –> 00:22:48,000
Fixed the dictionary before you fix the flow.
671
00:22:48,000 –> 00:22:51,000
No escalation roots means silent failures.
672
00:22:51,000 –> 00:22:53,000
Cases stall.
673
00:22:53,000 –> 00:22:54,000
SLA burns.
674
00:22:54,000 –> 00:22:56,000
Angry callbacks appear days later.
675
00:22:56,000 –> 00:22:57,000
Map policy gates.
676
00:22:57,000 –> 00:22:59,000
Define who owns which exception.
677
00:22:59,000 –> 00:23:02,000
Why are the teams channels with context injection?
678
00:23:02,000 –> 00:23:04,000
Test the pings.
679
00:23:04,000 –> 00:23:08,000
Incorrect categories poison everything downstream.
680
00:23:08,000 –> 00:23:11,000
Wrong SLA, wrong KPI, wrong forecast.
681
00:23:11,000 –> 00:23:12,000
Train on verified labels.
682
00:23:12,000 –> 00:23:14,000
Lock the taxonomy.
683
00:23:14,000 –> 00:23:16,000
Freeze changes behind governance.
684
00:23:16,000 –> 00:23:17,000
Not ad hoc edits.
685
00:23:17,000 –> 00:23:19,000
Over automation is a trust leak.
686
00:23:19,000 –> 00:23:20,000
You rush.
687
00:23:20,000 –> 00:23:21,000
You ship brittle rules.
688
00:23:21,000 –> 00:23:23,000
Agents build shadow workarounds.
689
00:23:23,000 –> 00:23:24,000
Now you have two systems.
690
00:23:24,000 –> 00:23:27,000
The official one and the one they actually use.
691
00:23:27,000 –> 00:23:28,000
Start narrow.
692
00:23:28,000 –> 00:23:30,000
Expand on evidence.
693
00:23:30,000 –> 00:23:33,000
Lack of human supervision kills learning.
694
00:23:33,000 –> 00:23:34,000
No feedback loop.
695
00:23:34,000 –> 00:23:35,000
No retraining signals.
696
00:23:35,000 –> 00:23:36,000
No audit trail.
697
00:23:36,000 –> 00:23:38,000
You think the model gets smarter.
698
00:23:38,000 –> 00:23:39,000
It doesn’t.
699
00:23:39,000 –> 00:23:41,000
It just repeats your initial bias.
700
00:23:41,000 –> 00:23:43,000
Set review cadences.
701
00:23:43,000 –> 00:23:44,000
Capture corrections.
702
00:23:44,000 –> 00:23:46,000
Close the loop.
703
00:23:46,000 –> 00:23:50,000
PII risk heights in drafts, screenshots and exports.
704
00:23:50,000 –> 00:23:52,000
Redact before storage.
705
00:23:52,000 –> 00:23:55,000
Block downloads of evidence to personal devices.
706
00:23:55,000 –> 00:23:57,000
DLP on.
707
00:23:57,000 –> 00:23:58,000
Retention enforced.
708
00:23:58,000 –> 00:24:00,000
Roll-based access tight.
709
00:24:00,000 –> 00:24:02,000
You’re one careless export from a breach.
710
00:24:02,000 –> 00:24:04,000
One more fracture.
711
00:24:04,000 –> 00:24:05,000
Identity ambiguity.
712
00:24:05,000 –> 00:24:06,000
Unbound senders.
713
00:24:06,000 –> 00:24:07,000
Shared mailboxes.
714
00:24:07,000 –> 00:24:09,000
Vendors forwarding chains.
715
00:24:09,000 –> 00:24:13,000
If intake can’t bind to an account or contact for the human gate with a summary.
716
00:24:13,000 –> 00:24:14,000
Don’t guess the customer.
717
00:24:14,000 –> 00:24:16,000
This is the pattern.
718
00:24:16,000 –> 00:24:17,000
Small leaks.
719
00:24:17,000 –> 00:24:19,000
Compounding damage.
720
00:24:19,000 –> 00:24:23,000
Fix them first or the agent just accelerates your mistakes.
721
00:24:23,000 –> 00:24:24,000
What you need to implement.
722
00:24:24,000 –> 00:24:26,000
Controls before speed.
723
00:24:26,000 –> 00:24:28,000
Clear intents.
724
00:24:28,000 –> 00:24:29,000
Write the taxonomy.
725
00:24:29,000 –> 00:24:31,000
Define entities.
726
00:24:31,000 –> 00:24:36,000
Set confidence thresholds for automation versus human review.
727
00:24:36,000 –> 00:24:37,000
Publish examples.
728
00:24:37,000 –> 00:24:38,000
Version it.
729
00:24:38,000 –> 00:24:39,000
Guard it.
730
00:24:39,000 –> 00:24:41,000
Clean email cues.
731
00:24:41,000 –> 00:24:44,000
Dedicated addresses per intent family.
732
00:24:44,000 –> 00:24:45,000
Normalize subjects.
733
00:24:45,000 –> 00:24:47,000
Enforced DKIM and SPF.
734
00:24:47,000 –> 00:24:48,000
Kill alias.
735
00:24:48,000 –> 00:24:49,000
Sproul.
736
00:24:49,000 –> 00:24:50,000
One door.
737
00:24:50,000 –> 00:24:51,000
Per flow.
738
00:24:51,000 –> 00:24:52,000
CRM schema alignment.
739
00:24:52,000 –> 00:24:56,000
Required fields for customer asset entitlement priority.
740
00:24:56,000 –> 00:24:57,000
SLA policy.
741
00:24:57,000 –> 00:24:59,000
Validation rules stop half cases.
742
00:24:59,000 –> 00:25:02,000
Deduplicate logic defined.
743
00:25:02,000 –> 00:25:04,000
Automation rules.
744
00:25:04,000 –> 00:25:06,000
Unified routing by skills.
745
00:25:06,000 –> 00:25:07,000
Capacity.
746
00:25:07,000 –> 00:25:08,000
Historical performance.
747
00:25:08,000 –> 00:25:09,000
SLA targets.
748
00:25:09,000 –> 00:25:11,000
Acknowledgements with case numbers.
749
00:25:11,000 –> 00:25:14,000
Deflection flows with verified articles.
750
00:25:14,000 –> 00:25:16,000
Timers and exception paths wired.
751
00:25:16,000 –> 00:25:17,000
AI capacity.
752
00:25:17,000 –> 00:25:20,000
Copilot licensing assigned to reviewers in front line.
753
00:25:20,000 –> 00:25:22,000
