What it does

For every conversation a customer reopened after a bot resolve, an agent reads the full thread, decides whether the bot answered wrongly, missed context, or hit a true knowledge gap, then takes the right corrective action automatically.

When to use it

Use it when failed deflections pile up faster than your team can triage them by hand. The agent does the judgment work and routes each case so humans only handle what genuinely needs them.

How it works

  1. 1An hourly schedule fires.
  2. 2Fetch reopened conversations that a bot had previously resolved from Intercom.
  3. 3The agent reads each thread and classifies the failure cause.
  4. 4A logic branch routes by cause: answerable now versus a documentation gap.
  5. 5For answerable cases, draft a corrected agent reply back in Intercom for human approval.
  6. 6For knowledge gaps, file a Linear issue tagged with the failing intent and example.
  7. 7Summarize the run's actions to Slack.
