01 / The problem

Where the work gets stuck

Questions in messaging channels can require consistent reference material, routing, privacy controls, and escalation.

02 / The approach

One connected workflow

A scoped assistant can use approved reference material, prepare responses, and route selected conversations to a person.

01Defined inputs

Start with the information and channels the workflow is allowed to use.

02Clear operating rules

Make validation, routing, and exception handling explicit.

03Human checkpoints

Keep people responsible for decisions that need context or approval.

03 / Workflow

A practical view of how information moves from the first input to the final handoff.

  2. 02

    Classify it within the defined support scope.

  3. 03

    Retrieve approved reference material.

  4. 04

    Prepare a response or escalate the request.

04 / Project details

Individual and group conversations

The assistant is designed for a business that supports students and coaching customers through both direct WhatsApp conversations and group discussions.

Conversation handling

  • Receive questions from individual chats or permitted group conversations.
  • Classify the question within the defined coaching or support scope.
  • Maintain enough conversation context to handle follow-up questions.
  • Prepare an answer from the business knowledge base or route the request to a coach or administrator.

Knowledge and reporting access

  • Retrieve detailed programme, coaching, and support material through a RAG knowledge base.
  • Separate student-facing reference material from administrative information.
  • Retrieve selected statistics or database information for coach and administrator requests.
  • Keep unsupported, private, or high-risk questions outside the automatic response path.

Operating controls

  • Define which accounts, groups, and message types are in scope.
  • Add escalation and moderation rules for conversations that need a person.
  • Record the minimum conversation information required for continuity and reporting.
  • Keep access to coaching and administrative data aligned with the user’s role.
