AI Agent Actions with Approval
Let the assistant draft app actions and run them only after the user approves the exact plan.
What it adds
A plan-and-approve step between an assistant's proposed actions and their execution, showing every target and change before anything runs.

What your agent is told to do
5-
1
Split the flow in two. Producing a plan must have no side effects at all, and execution must run only from an approved, stored plan rather than from the conversation that produced it.
-
2
Render the plan in the app's own language: which records are affected, which fields change from what to what, and every external side effect such as an email, a charge, or a webhook. Nothing may execute that was not on the screen the user approved.
-
3
Re-check permissions and the current state of every target at execution time, not at planning time. A plan drafted two minutes ago may reference a record that has since been edited, deleted, or locked.
-
4
Invalidate the approval whenever the plan changes. Any edit, re-plan, or change in the underlying records requires a fresh approval covering the new plan, and an approved plan should expire after a short window.

The catalogue of actions the model may invoke, their argument schemas, and the call limits belong to AI Tool Calling Framework. Use that catalogue for the actions in a plan rather than defining a second, parallel set of capabilities here.
Edge cases it handles

Edge cases it handles
8- Every target, every field-level before-and-after, and every outbound side effect must be visible before approval. A plan that summarises itself as updating some records has not been approved in any meaningful sense.
- Permissions and record state are revalidated at execution. If a target moved out of scope between approval and execution, skip that step, mark it clearly, and do not silently substitute another record.
- A plan that changes for any reason loses its approval. Re-approving a modified plan must show what changed since the last approval, not present it as if it were new.
- Steps must be individually idempotent and keyed, so a retry after a partial failure does not send a second email or apply a change twice. On partial failure, report exactly which steps completed, which did not, and what state the data is now in.
- Arguments the model generated but the interface did not display must never be executable. If a value cannot be rendered for inspection, the plan is not approvable.
- Long-running plans need a visible progress state and a way to stop between steps. Stopping mid-plan must leave a clear record of the boundary reached.
- Approval must be attributable to a specific person and recorded in the audit trail alongside the plan as approved, so the plan text cannot be reconstructed differently later.
- If the model is unavailable or returns malformed structured output, the user must still be able to perform the same actions through the ordinary interface. Nothing should be reachable only through the assistant.

Definition of done
9- Planning produces no side effects, and execution runs only from a stored approved plan.
- The approval screen shows every target, every field change, and every external side effect.
- Permissions and target state are revalidated at execution time and out-of-scope steps are skipped and reported.
- Any change to a plan invalidates the approval and requires re-approval showing the diff.
- Steps are idempotent and partial failures report exactly what did and did not run.
- No argument can be executed that was not displayed to the approver.
- Approvals are attributed to a person and recorded with the plan as approved.
- The feature matches the existing design system.
- No existing functionality is broken.

AI Chat Attachments
Attach files to a conversation and let the assistant use what it is allowed to read.
What it does
File upload on an AI conversation, with parsing, retrieval of relevant sections, and per-conversation access scoping.
How it works
- 1 Reuse the app's existing upload, storage, and virus-scanning path rather than adding a second one, and declare an explicit list of accepted file types and a size ceiling per file and per conversation.
- 2 Parse each attachment into text and structure in a background job, store the result, and show the attachment as pending until parsing succeeds so the user is never told the assistant has read something it has not.
- 3 Retrieve and send only the sections relevant to the current question. Sending whole documents on every turn burns the context window and the budget for no gain.

AI Suggested Support Answers
AI Suggested Support Answers
Give support agents a grounded first draft instead of a blank reply box.
What it does
A draft reply composed for the agent from the ticket, the customer's account state, and the approved internal knowledge, with sources attached and no ability to send itself.
How it works
- 1 Ground every draft in retrieved material: the ticket thread, the account's real state, and articles from the approved knowledge set. Attach the sources used to the draft so the agent can open and check each one.
- 2 Load the draft into the agent's normal reply editor, unsent and fully editable. There is no path in this feature that sends a message to a customer without an agent pressing send.
- 3 Define the commitments the app is not allowed to make in a draft — refunds, credits, delivery dates, guarantees of a fix — and strip or refuse any draft containing them, leaving that part for the agent to write.

AI Conversation Branching
AI Conversation Branching
Explore an alternate path from an earlier message without losing the original.
What it does
A message graph that lets a conversation fork at any point, with each branch keeping its own history and active state.
How it works
- 1 Change the conversation's storage from an ordered list to a graph where every message names its parent, and migrate existing conversations into that shape as single-path graphs.
- 2 Define the active branch as a stored pointer to a leaf message, and derive everything rendered from the path between the root and that pointer.
- 3 Give each branch its own summary, memory, and derived context. Carrying one summary across siblings leaks the abandoned path back into the new one.

It inspects, then implements
Your agent reads your existing app first, then adds the feature to fit it.
Works with your stack
These instructions are written to adapt. They tell the agent to detect your framework, match your existing design system, and reuse what you already have — rather than assuming a particular stack.
Need it tighter than that? Customize the feature and tell it exactly what you're running.
