Bloom & Co opened 19 conversations in the last 10 days (your baseline is ~5/wk), four breached first-response SLA, and their renewal lands in 38 days. Two of those conversations are still unresolved and no CSM has been assigned.
How an agent works
An agent watches one thing and acts on it. Not a workflow, just a standing watch that usually does nothing and acts the moment it should.
You stay in control
An agent does what you'd do, and only what you've authorized.
The same trusted numbers
It acts on the same governed metrics as your dashboards, and every action is logged and traceable.
You approve anything that writes
It alerts and recommends on its own; anything that changes data is yours to approve.
Try it on a test channel first
Point a new agent at a throwaway channel and watch its judgment before it touches anything real.
No false alarms
It remembers what it already flagged and waits before acting again, so it won't alert you about the same thing twice.
What you can put an agent on
Rank churn risk by tying conversation activity to the account behind it
It joins your Gladly conversations and interactions to the account, ARR, and renewal date in your CRM, so a spike in support volume from a customer renewing next quarter surfaces as a ranked call list, not a number nobody connected. You catch the slide while there is still time to act on it.
Catch a topic surge before it becomes a wave
When a topic breaks its trend, it tells you which customers are affected, how many conversations carry that tag, and whether the pattern is spreading or isolated. You see the emerging issue the day it starts, not at the end of the month in a retrospective.
Spot the queue imbalance before it buries a team
It watches conversation volume and backlog by team and agent, and flags it when one group's load breaks its trend while another sits idle. You rebalance before response times slip and the customers behind those conversations start to feel it.
Run any Python it needs to get the job done
Beyond alerts and write-backs, an agent can run arbitrary Python, so it can do whatever the task actually requires: call an API, push a call list to your CS tool, reshape the data, or wire into your own tooling. The action space is yours to define.
Why not just build it yourself?
You could rig one of these with a cron job and a Slack webhook in an afternoon. The watching is the easy part. Here's what you'd own forever, and don't, here:
- →The cross-source join: not one tool's data, but it reconciled against the rest of your stack
- →A trusted, consistent metric: the same number your dashboards use
- →The investigation into why, when something fires
- →A full audit trail of everything it did
- →The upkeep, when the schema drifts or the script breaks at 2am
The data it works from
Every Gladly object, modeled and query-ready the moment you connect.
It runs on your real Gladly account (reopened conversations, misrouted interactions, duplicate customer profiles and all), not a tidy demo.
Where it acts
Slack
A message in the channel you choose, with the context and a button to act on it.
A summary in the inbox of the people who need to see it.
Webhook
A payload to your own systems, to wire the agent into whatever you already run.
Warehouse write-back
A flag written back to your warehouse for everything downstream to pick up.
Hand off to Fi
Kick the question to Fi to investigate the why and propose the fix.
MCP
Expose it to your own agents and tools over MCP, and drive it from your stack.
Run it in your own VPC or fully self-hosted. Everything it does is pure SQL and Python you can inspect.
