Email Intake & Routing
The shared inbox is your real work-queue — unprioritized, unowned, and leaking commitments. Requests, documents, and complaints all arrive the same way and wait for a human sorter.
What can be automated in email intake & routing? With current AI and integration tooling: classification by intent and urgency; extraction of order numbers, accounts, and key facts; routing to the right queue/owner with a summary; draft responses for standard requests. What should remain under human control: sending anything customer-facing (approve-then-send); complaints, legal threats, and edge cases — routed to humans fast; commitments (dates, refunds, exceptions). Olyra implements this with confidence scoring, audit logging, and human-review gates matched to risk.
What this work looks like today
Customer service, operations coordinators, dispatchers, intake teams — hours a day, every day.
Shared mailboxes, ticketing tools (or their absence), and every system a request eventually touches.
Measured before we touch anything: Emails handled per person-hour · First-response time · Misroute rate
What gets automated — and what stays human
Automated (with logging):
- Classification by intent and urgency
- Extraction of order numbers, accounts, and key facts
- Routing to the right queue/owner with a summary
- Draft responses for standard requests
Stays under human control:
- Sending anything customer-facing (approve-then-send)
- Complaints, legal threats, and edge cases — routed to humans fast
- Commitments (dates, refunds, exceptions)
How value and risk are managed
What we baseline and track
Emails handled per person-hour · First-response time · Misroute rate · Backlog at day's end
Risks designed for
Tone and commitment control via approval gates; privacy on message content; complete audit of classification and routing decisions.
Typical implementation path: One mailbox piloted on 30 days of history, then live with human approval on all outbound. Implementation follows the Olyra 120: pilot on real historical volume, parallel run, then measured cutover.
