Agent architecture
From Objective to Action
Every LeapTech agent runs the same controlled loop. What changes per deployment is the data it may read, the tools it may use, and where a person must approve.
- 01
Understand
Interpret the request, objective, and surrounding context.
- 02
Plan
Determine the steps required to move toward the desired outcome.
- 03
Access Knowledge
Retrieve relevant information from approved business data and knowledge sources.
- 04
Use Tools
Interact with APIs, applications, databases, and operational systems.
- 05
Execute
Perform approved actions and update business systems.
- 06
Verify
Check the result before continuing.
- 07
Escalate
Transfer the case to a person when human judgment, approval, or intervention is required.
If verification fails or a rule requires approval, the agent stops and hands over rather than guessing.
Where agents work
Agents Can Work Across Business Operations
The same controlled loop applies wherever a process has a goal, the data to reach it, and tools to act with.
Customer Service
Handle requests, access customer information, perform actions, and escalate when required.
Sales
Qualify leads, prepare information, update CRM records, schedule follow-ups, and support sales workflows.
Employee Operations
Help employees retrieve information, submit requests, and navigate internal processes.
Documents
Read, classify, extract, validate, and route business information.
Operations
Coordinate tasks across systems and participate in multi-step processes.
Follow-up
Monitor process state, trigger next actions, and communicate status.
Assistant vs agent
A Chatbot Answers. An Agent Finishes The Job.
The difference is authority and follow-through.
AI assistant / chatbot
- Answers questions from a knowledge base
- Drafts text for a person to act on
- Has no access to systems of record
- Stops when the conversation ends
Useful for information. The work still queues for a person.
Operational AI agent
- Understands a goal and plans the steps
- Reads and writes to CRM, ERP, and internal apps
- Uses only the tools it is authorized to use
- Verifies, logs, and escalates when required
Built to remove the work, not just describe it.
Control
Agents Operate Within Defined Boundaries
An AI agent should know what it can access, which actions it may execute, and when it must stop or involve a person.
- Defined permissions
- Approved tools
- Business rules
- Human approvals
- Traceable actions
- Escalation paths
