TeamFlow Customer Support Triage Agent System

This demonstration showcases an intelligent Customer Support Triage System built with Dexto agents for TeamFlow, a cloud-based project management and team collaboration platform. The system automatically analyzes customer inquiries, routes them to specialized support agents, and provides complete customer support responses.

🏢 About TeamFlow (Demo Business Context)

TeamFlow is a fictional cloud-based project management platform used for this demonstration. It offers three service tiers:

• Basic Plan ($9/user/month): Up to 10 team members, 5GB storage, basic features
• Pro Plan ($19/user/month): Up to 100 team members, 100GB storage, advanced integrations (Slack, GitHub, Salesforce)
• Enterprise Plan ($39/user/month): Unlimited users, 1TB storage, SSO, dedicated support

Key features include project management, team collaboration, time tracking, mobile apps, and a comprehensive API. The platform integrates with popular tools like Slack, GitHub, Salesforce, and Google Workspace.

This realistic business context allows the agents to provide specific, accurate responses about pricing, features, technical specifications, and policies using the FileContributor system to access comprehensive documentation.

🚀 Getting Started

Quick Start - Integrated Triage System

The recommended way to run the triage system is using the main triage agent, which automatically connects to all specialists:

# Run the complete triage system (connects to all specialist agents automatically)
npx dexto --agent agents/triage-demo/triage-agent.yml

# Test with a customer inquiry
npx dexto --agent agents/triage-demo/triage-agent.yml "I want to upgrade from Basic to Pro but confused about pricing"

This will:

1. Auto-connect to all 4 specialist agents as MCP servers
2. Analyze your request and route to the appropriate specialist
3. Execute the specialist agent to get the expert answer
4. Respond with a complete customer support response

Running Individual Agents (Advanced)

For testing individual specialist agents:

# Run specialized agents individually  
npx dexto --agent agents/triage-demo/technical-support-agent.yml
npx dexto --agent agents/triage-demo/billing-agent.yml
npx dexto --agent agents/triage-demo/product-info-agent.yml
npx dexto --agent agents/triage-demo/escalation-agent.yml

Environment Setup

Ensure you have the required API keys in your .env file:

OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
TAVILY_API_KEY=your_tavily_api_key  # For web research

📋 Example Scenarios

Scenario 1: Technical Issue

Customer Input: "My app keeps crashing when I try to upload files. Getting error code 500."

Triage Agent Response:

• Analysis: Technical Issue → Route to Technical Support Agent
• Execution: Calls chat_with_agent → Technical Support provides debugging steps
• Customer Response: "I've routed your issue to our Technical Support team. Here's how to resolve the 500 error when uploading files: [detailed technical troubleshooting steps from specialist]"

Scenario 2: Billing Question

Customer Input: "I want to upgrade from Basic to Pro but confused about pricing. Will I be charged the full amount?"

Triage Agent Response:

• Analysis: Billing Question → Route to Billing Agent
• Execution: Calls chat_with_agent → Billing Agent explains prorated pricing
• Customer Response: "I've routed your inquiry to our Billing team. When upgrading from Basic to Pro, you'll only be charged a prorated amount for the remaining billing period - just the difference between plans for the time left in your cycle. The upgrade takes effect immediately."

Scenario 3: Product Information

Customer Input: "What's the difference between your Pro and Enterprise plans? I need API access."

Triage Agent Response:

• Analysis: Product Inquiry → Route to Product Info Agent
• Execution: Calls chat_with_agent → Product Info Agent provides detailed comparison
• Customer Response: "I've connected you with our Product team. Both Pro and Enterprise plans include full API access. The main differences are: Pro supports up to 100 users with 100GB storage, while Enterprise offers unlimited users, 1TB storage, SSO, and dedicated support. [detailed feature comparison]"

Scenario 4: Escalation Required

Customer Input: "This is my third time contacting support about data privacy concerns. I'm considering legal action."

Triage Agent Response:

• Analysis: Legal/Compliance Issue → Route to Escalation Agent
• Execution: Calls chat_with_agent → Escalation Agent provides management contact
• Customer Response: "I've escalated your data privacy concerns to our senior support team. Given the legal implications, I'm connecting you directly with our compliance manager Sarah Johnson (sarah.johnson@teamflow.com). She'll address your concerns within 2 hours."

🔧 Advanced Configuration

Current MCP Server Configuration (Automatic)

The triage agent automatically connects to specialists via stdio MCP servers:

# Current configuration in triage-agent.yml
mcpServers:
  technical_support:
    type: stdio
    command: npx
    args: [dexto, --mode, mcp, --agent, agents/triage-demo/technical-support-agent.yml]
  
  billing_support:
    type: stdio  
    command: npx
    args: [dexto, --mode, mcp, --agent, agents/triage-demo/billing-agent.yml]
  
  # Similar configuration for product_info and escalation agents...

Production Configuration (Distributed Servers)

For production deployment, you would run each specialist as a separate server:

# triage-agent.yml - Production Configuration
mcpServers:
  technical_support:
    type: sse
    url: "http://localhost:3001/mcp"
    headers:
      Authorization: "Bearer your-auth-token"
  
  billing_support:
    type: sse  
    url: "http://localhost:3002/mcp"
    headers:
      Authorization: "Bearer your-auth-token"
  
  product_info:
    type: sse
    url: "http://localhost:3003/mcp"
    headers:
      Authorization: "Bearer your-auth-token"
    
  escalation:
    type: sse
    url: "http://localhost:3004/mcp"
    headers:
      Authorization: "Bearer your-auth-token"

Running Distributed Servers

# Terminal 1: Technical Support Server
npx dexto --agent agents/triage-demo/technical-support-agent.yml --mode server --port 3001

# Terminal 2: Billing Support Server  
npx dexto --agent agents/triage-demo/billing-agent.yml --mode server --port 3002

# Terminal 3: Product Info Server
npx dexto --agent agents/triage-demo/product-info-agent.yml --mode server --port 3003

# Terminal 4: Escalation Server
npx dexto --agent agents/triage-demo/escalation-agent.yml --mode server --port 3004

# Terminal 5: Main Triage Coordinator
npx dexto --agent agents/triage-demo/triage-agent.yml --mode server --port 3000

🚦 Production Considerations

Security

• Implement proper authentication between agents
• Secure API key management
• Customer data privacy controls
• Tool confirmation policies for sensitive operations

Monitoring

• Log all routing decisions and tool executions
• Track resolution times by agent type
• Monitor escalation patterns
• Tool usage analytics for optimization

Scaling

• Load balance multiple instances of specialist agents
• Implement request queuing for high volume
• Distributed MCP server deployment
• Add more specialized agents as needed (e.g., Sales, Onboarding)

🤝 Contributing

To extend this triage system:

1. Add new specialist agents by creating new YAML configs
2. Update triage routing logic in the main agent's system prompt
3. Configure new agents as MCP servers in the triage agent's mcpServers section
4. Test end-to-end flow including tool execution and complete responses

This demonstration showcases the power of multi-agent coordination with tool execution using Dexto's MCP integration capabilities!
