Multiple task configurations for fine-tuning AI specialist processes
Configure pre-built tasks, adding your own routing behavior, response templates, search profiles, and knowledge sources, with no prompt engineering required.
AI specialist activity and performance monitoring
Track every record your AI specialist touches and measure its performance to see the value it brings to your team across multiple metrics.
