0:00AI automation with control

Welcome to OXIAE. How can AI process an email while your business stays in control of what happens next?

0:09A question arrives

Imagine a customer emails to say an order has not arrived. A staff member reads the message, looks up information and passes the question on. This example is fictional.

0:21Four stages, clear outputs

Separate that work into four stages: receive the information, classify the question, check the result and only then carry out a permitted action. Each stage needs a clear output.

0:34Rules handle predictable checks

Fixed rules can check whether a required field is present. They also determine which actions are permitted. These checks do not need a language model.

0:43AI proposes an interpretation

AI can interpret the wording and suggest that this is a delivery question. That suggestion does not establish that the order is actually missing.

0:52A person handles uncertainty

If information is missing or the classification is uncertain, a staff member reviews the question. You can also require approval before an important change or a message to the customer.

1:03Measure the whole process

Test ordinary, incomplete and repeated inputs. Include an unavailable connection. Measure errors, quality and total handling time, including the time people spend checking results and putting mistakes right.

1:18Start with one process

Choose one recurring process and someone responsible for exceptions. Compare the trial with the current way of working before automating more of the business.

1:28AI within clear boundaries

OXIAE connects AI with clear rules and human oversight. Read the AI automation guide for the next step.
