Specialists are AI Agents that can handle end customer inquiries autonomously. We recommend setting up one specialist per question category, e.g., Warranty requests, Shipping inquiries, General questions, cancellations, etc. When to use this specialist: Briefly describe when this specialist should be used. Imagine this to be a very brief job description, e.g., “The end customer wants to change their subscription”.
Instructions: Write the more detailed instructions/rules the specialist has to follow when solving end customer inquiries. Imagine this to be a bullet point list for a new employee with the high-level instructions, actions to conduct, and knowledge sources to use.

Example: “Cancel subscription”

In the Instructions field, type @ to open the tool picker and select the tools you need. Selected tools appear as visual pills in your instructions. Here’s an example of what the instructions might contain:

Sample Instructions

  • First look up the end customer’s account and subscription details using @Read All Customer Info (lookup)
  • If the end customer wants to cancel, determine the reason and reference @Subscription Policy Document (knowledge) to determine the cancellation policy
  • Extra rules, temporary redirects, or pauses are only possible for “Premium” end customers; offer “Standard” end customers an upgrade
  • For date or address changes, ask for the exact new data and confirm the changes with the end customer
  • Perform the desired changes using @Update Address, @Update Subscription Status, or @Update Phone Number (actions)
  • At the end, inform the end customer that changes were completed and ask if there’s anything else you can help with
Actions, Lookups, and Knowledge sources must be configured in their respective hubs first. Once set up, type @ in the Instructions field to select them. They appear as visual pills. Lookups retrieve data without modifying it, while Actions make changes to external systems.
