The challenge

A support assistant needs more than fluent replies.

It needs the current policy, the relevant order facts, permission to use a tool, and a clear path to a person when judgment or approval is required.

This internal demo explores that connected workflow through fictional shopping and food-delivery scenarios. It brings the customer conversation, the human agent workspace, and the knowledge behind an answer into the same system.

What we built

The implemented demonstration connects four working areas:

Customer experience

Fictional marketplace and food-delivery catalogs, orders, status updates, complaints, and a help conversation provide realistic workflow context. Commerce and payments are simulated

Customer experience

Fictional marketplace and food-delivery catalogs, orders, status updates, complaints, and a help conversation provide realistic workflow context. Commerce and payments are simulated

Grounded AI support

The assistant uses retrieved, approved knowledge and structured order information to prepare cited answers. A deterministic offline fallback supports the demo when the AI provider is unavailable

Policy-checked tools

A backend executor checks ownership, policy, risk, limits, confirmations, and idempotency before recording a simulated refund, cancellation, or other action. The model cannot directly change the database

Human handoff and CRM

Staff can work from a queue, take over a conversation, reply, review suggested answers, and route actions requiring supervisor approval

Versioned knowledge CMS

Documents pass through ingestion, extraction, chunking, review, approval, and publishing. Retrieval uses the versions appropriate to the conversation's access context

Operational activity

Metrics and audit views make conversation, tool, and retrieval activity visible without pretending those views establish a business improvement

Realtime connections keep customer and staff workspaces aligned as a conversation moves between the assistant and a human agent.

How it works

  1. React interfaces, FastAPI backend

    React and TypeScript provide the customer and staff interfaces. A Python FastAPI backend owns the source records, permissions, domain rules, and action executor.

  2. A guarded conversation runtime

    The conversation runtime combines structured understanding, knowledge retrieval, workflow tools, and response checks. Hybrid retrieval uses vector and keyword signals. A response guard prevents the assistant from claiming an action succeeded without a confirmed tool result.

  3. Local data, documented deployment paths

    The current demo uses SQLAlchemy and a local SQLite database, with a NumPy-based vector index and FastEmbed. PostgreSQL, pgvector, and Redis have documented deployment paths; no production-scale distributed deployment is claimed.

  4. Production

This is an implemented internal demonstration with synthetic data and simulated commerce actions. It does not move live customer funds and is not an integration with a named marketplace or payment provider.

Read the full status

The repository contains backend policy, security, retrieval, handoff, and scenario tests, plus frontend and browser-test tooling. Those suites were not rerun during this portfolio update. Gemini and scanned-document OCR require configured provider access for separate live validation.

No real support client, public production deployment, resolution rate, customer-satisfaction improvement, or cost reduction is claimed.

Where this fits

Support becomes more useful when answers, records, and human decisions connect. We build AI solutions around your knowledge and workflows, and pair them with business systems and web applications that help your team act. Discuss your support workflow with Weaveward.
