Automation should reduce busy work, not erase the relationship.

AI can help classify intent, prepare context, draft suggested replies, and surface overdue opportunities.

Humans should take over when timing, trust, negotiation, or emotional nuance matters.

Good automation boundaries

  • Summarize the record
  • Suggest the next action
  • Flag urgency
  • Prepare the handoff
  • Let the agent own the relationship

Automate the busy work. Keep the human handoff.
