Feature details

How it works

Enable shadow mode in Case Management Agent settings for selected lines of business or case rules. The system generates predicted outcomes only, including:

  • Identified customer intent.
  • Drafted response content.
  • Proposed field updates.
  • Recommended follow‑up or resolution actions.

No customer‑facing communication is sent and no case data is modified.

A dedicated shadow results view per case shows:

  • Predicted intent and response by Case Management Agent.
  • Suggested field changes.
  • Rationale behind recommendations.

Administrators review shadow results to:

  • Compare Case Management Agent recommendations with actual human actions.
  • Identify mismatches, gaps, or improvement opportunities.
  • Assess readiness for partial or full automation.
