Agent Workflows

Manufacturer Product Reasoning

Answer technical product questions with catalogue evidence. The agent compares specifications, checks compatibility and prepares a sourced recommendation for a specialist to approve.

What this workflow covers

Built for manufacturers and distributors whose experts spend hours searching catalogues and datasheets.

Catalogue evidence

Datasheets, catalogues and approved product data are searched for each requirement.

Compatibility checks

Specifications are compared and conflicts or gaps are listed.

Specialist review

A sourced recommendation is handed to sales or engineering for approval.

Example sequence

Step by step

Fictional example; sources and approval rules are agreed with each team.

  1. Input

    A customer asks which fitting suits an existing installation.

  2. Context

    Retrieve the relevant catalogue pages and datasheets.

  3. Decision

    Compare specifications and identify compatible options.

  4. Tool action

    Prepare a recommendation with sources and open questions.

  5. Human approval

    A product specialist checks and adjusts the answer.

  6. Recorded outcome

    Send the approved answer and save it for reuse.

Where people stay in control

Rules and approvals are agreed for each implementation.

  • Cite the source for every recommendation.
  • List assumptions and missing information as open questions.
  • Require specialist approval before an answer is sent.

Common questions

The agent is instructed to report what it could not confirm rather than fill the gap, and a specialist reviews the answer before it is sent.

Usually, if the system offers suitable API access or another agreed route. We confirm the available APIs, permissions and data during scoping, then implement and test each action against the agreed systems.

We choose the model and provider for each task during scoping, based on the language, accuracy, latency and data-handling requirements. The workflow is not tied to one provider, so a step can be changed later if the agreed requirements change.
