Runbooks

/ Step-by-step playbooks humans approve. AI Desk uses them to resolve matching issues autonomously.

What a runbook is

A runbook is an approved procedure: trigger topics, ordered steps, and guardrails. When a ticket or chat matches, AI Desk follows the runbook instead of improvising. Humans stay in control because nothing goes live until reviewed.

Draft → approve → autonomous

  1. Human Desk surfaces an unresolved pattern or content gap.
  2. Humaner drafts a runbook from the ticket context.
  3. A teammate edits and approves it.
  4. AI Desk applies it on the next matching issue.

Per-agent scope

Runbooks attach to an agent. Multi-business workspaces keep playbooks isolated per brand.
