Problems I Help Automate.

Practical starting points for a system designed around your operations.

THE MANUAL WORKTHE AUTOMATION APPROACH

Your staff answers the same customer questions repeatedly.

A support agent retrieves your business knowledge and passes complex cases to your team.

Business knowledge + escalation

Customers keep asking for order status manually.

Connect AI to your ecommerce order system so it can retrieve the relevant information.

Shopify + AI tools

Important actions need a person’s approval.

Add validation rules and approval checkpoints before the system performs sensitive actions.

Guardrails + human approval

Your business uses several disconnected tools.

Connect the handoffs between apps, data and messages in one coordinated workflow.

n8n + APIs + orchestration

Customer conversations lose context.

Design database-backed memory so the system can retrieve relevant previous interactions.

Persistent customer context

SYSTEM / V1Completed

AI Ecommerce Customer Support System

Multi-tool AI support architecture for ecommerce operations.

Designed a multi-tool ecommerce AI architecture combining customer messaging, LLM reasoning, Shopify data retrieval and automated escalation.

  • Understand requests and select the appropriate business tool.
  • Retrieve store policies and Shopify order information.
  • Return structured results and route replies or staff escalations.
  • Communicate through WhatsApp.

Agentic Ecommerce Operations System

AI orchestration, persistent memory, order actions, guardrails and human approval.

Developing an operations architecture with specialized agents, persistent customer context, and approval boundaries for order actions.

  • Coordinate requests through a main agent and order agent.
  • Design persistent customer memory in PostgreSQL.
  • Evaluate order actions with guardrails and staff approval.

AI Assistant

Exploring how an assistant can interpret text, voice, images, and documents in a shared conversation. This prototype helped develop my understanding of multimodal processing, memory, RAG, and multi-user handling.

Explore the concept

WhatsApp → Evolution API → input routing → speech-to-text or document / image processing → LLM + knowledge retrieval → response. These are explored architecture concepts; the complete feature set is not claimed as finished.

Design the AI Architecture

Decide what the AI should understand, which tools it can use and which actions require control.

STEP 03

Connect Business Systems

Integrate APIs, databases, ecommerce platforms and communication channels.

STEP 04

Add Guardrails

Protect important actions using validation rules and human approval.

STEP 05

Test Real Scenarios
