Sorting and routing agent: the right request to the right department

A misrouted request goes round the organisation twice before reaching the right place. Your agent reads the incoming request, classifies it under your categories and proposes the department to handle it, explaining what it is going on. Hosted in France — local inference or an isolated resource — the content of the requests stays with you. The allocation stays changeable: the receiving department keeps control.

✦ In brief

A Blue Lemon Agent sorting and routing agent reads incoming requests, classifies them under your categories and proposes the department to handle them, stating what element it is going on. Ambiguous requests are raised rather than allocated at random. It runs on local inference or is hosted in France: the content of your clients' and partners' requests does not leave your premises, architecture designed to reduce exposure to extraterritorial legislation, location alone not being enough to guarantee immunity. Live within a few weeks,.

The context

What does an AI agent bring to your incoming request flows?

Every rerouting adds a delay and another reading. But a mistaken automatic allocation sends the request into a queue where nobody is expecting it.

! The issue

A misrouted request travels from department to department, each one reading it again before passing it on — the delay grows without anyone making progress. Yet a badly designed automatic routing sends the request into a queue where it sits, and entrusting the content of your clients' and partners' requests to a third-party service exposes it to the Cloud Act.

Our answer

Assisted routing is only of interest if it is sovereign and explainable. Local inference or an isolated resource hosted in France, an allocation justified by an element of the message, ambiguous cases raised: the receiving department sees what the allocation rests on and can correct it in one move. The agent directs; it does not lock anything in.

The decisive point

The content of the requests that reach you: sovereignty & compliance

The requests that reach you contain complaints, client data and sometimes sensitive information. Here is how the architecture of our agents protects them.

Local inference

The agent can run on a machine belonging to your organisation: no request leaves the network, no attachment passes through a public cloud.

Hosting in France

Otherwise, a dedicated and isolated resource hosted in France, under French law — the requests received and their attachments: processing and access within the European Union targeted by the architecture.

Reduced extraterritorial exposure

For the content of the requests that reach you, the architecture aims to reduce exposure to the Cloud Act and FISA 702; being located in France or in the European Union does not, on its own, guarantee immunity.

Isolated resource

No pooling: an environment strictly dedicated to your organisation and its allocation rules.

Allocation rules under your control

You define the categories and the receiving departments; every allocation is justified, logged and changeable at any time.

AI Act: governed deployment

The agent is strictly in support; no request is locked into a queue with no way to correct it; traceability and human oversight from end to end.

What depends on the architecture chosen These points are not general guarantees: they are settled deployment by deployment, in the quotation.

  • The applicable location is that of the architecture set out in the quotation and verified before commissioning.
  • Local execution is announced only for the configuration explicitly described and accepted in the quotation.
  • The applicable isolation depends on the deployment mode set out in the quotation; no dedicated isolation is presumed.
  • The events logged, their content, their retention period and who may access them are defined for the deployment chosen.
For requests containing health data or sensitive reports, SecNumCloud and reinforced hosting are options depending on your requirements. A single architecture is designed to answer both the GDPR and extraterritorial exposure. Designed for deployment in line with the GDPR and the AI Act, after the processing, roles and context-specific risks have been assessed.
Demonstration

See the agent at work

4 real situations, taken from those that come up most often. Pick one: the exchange unfolds as it would in your organisation.

A scripted demonstration. These exchanges show how the agent behaves — its sources, its refusals, what it leaves to your teams. Nothing is sent from this page, no model is queried here, and the matters named are fictional. That is precisely what we promise your data.
The behaviours shown here — monitoring, automation rules, routing and reminders — are configured with you during deployment, from your tools, your rules and your thresholds.
The architecture points named in these exchanges — location, local execution, isolation, encryption, role-based access, logging — are not a guarantee attached to the demonstration: they are those of the architecture set out in your quotation, and verified before commissioning.

Sorting and routing · hosted in France
Four flags this morning on the request routing.
· Forty-one requests made two round trips between departments. They took eleven days longer than the others.
· Seven requests marked urgent went out on Friday to a mailbox checked on Monday.
· The "other" category has tripled in six months: 312 requests, against 104.
· My unclassified rate is 8%. I am not trying to lower it, and I will tell you why. morning-watch_4-flags.pdf41 requests, eleven days longer
⛓ Source · 3,940 requests, routing log, mailbox checking times
An 8% unclassified rate — is that not a failure?
It is what stops the other 92% from being wrong, and it is the one thing I will defend on this page.
What I could do: classify 100% of requests. Technically, it is enough to pick the most likely category when I do not know.
What would happen: the requests I do not understand would go out anyway, to a department that is not expecting them. They would come back — that is exactly where this morning's 41 round trips come from — but their clock would have been running.
What I do instead: when I do not recognise a request, I put it in a visible queue, with what I understood and what is missing. A person routes it in fifteen seconds.
What that gives, measured: 315 unclassified of 3,940, routed by hand in under two hours on average. Against eleven days for a misrouted request.
What I will always refuse: being asked to bring that rate down. A sorter that classifies everything is not wrong less often: it is wrong in silence. 315-unclassified_2-hours.pdf2 hours against 11 days
⛓ Source · 3,940 requests, 315 unclassified, times compared
How did you spot all that? And who do you tell?
I look at what you have opened to me: incoming requests, which department each went to, what became of it, and your mailbox checking times.
Routing follows whose time is lost: a request coming back a second time does not go out again — I queue it and tell the process owner; an urgent request sent to an unchecked mailbox to the sending department, within the hour; a swelling category to whoever defines the categories, monthly; a request I do not recognise into the visible queue, with no guessed recipient.
With a chase: within the hour on a misdirected urgency, 7 days otherwise. Then a monthly summary: by category and by delay, never by department or by handler.

What that gives you over the month: 3,625 requests classified and forwarded without intervention, 315 routed by hand in under two hours, and not one left of the 41 requests that cost eleven days by going twice around the house.
What you gain from tomorrow: eleven days handed back on every stray request, seven urgent items that no longer go to a mailbox opened on Monday, and a receiving department that gets the request with its category, the part of the message behind it and its history. It keeps control, and it takes over in fifteen seconds when I get it wrong.
On what I see: I read the requests you open to me, nothing else; access is opened by role, logged and withdrawn with a single word, and the content of your exchanges leaves neither your walls nor France.
The next step is ready: fifteen minutes to map your categories, your departments and the times your mailboxes are opened.

The gain

How many reroutings can an organisation avoid?

By proposing the right department on arrival, the back-and-forth between teams and the delay before the first reply both come down. How large the gain is depends on your volume and remains to be confirmed by a pilot.

AI model: none of the AI models offered currently carries a fixed surcharge. When the selected model carries a cost, that cost is shown when you choose it, before you order, and re-invoiced at the cost incurred, with no mark-up; usage is billed at the publisher's price. Publishers' prices are published in US dollars: the amount re-invoiced is the amount in euros actually borne by Blue Lemon Agent on the publisher's invoice, at that invoice's exchange rate, with no commission or mark-up.
Included components and additional components Components included in the base offer: the Blue Lemon Agent software foundation, the AI models listed in the order journey, the standard channels (Microsoft Teams, Slack, WhatsApp Business, email, website chat, calendars, Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace, file storage, market VoIP telephony, professional social-media pages and accounts, Google Business Profile), hosting in France for the package chosen, backups, supervision, updates and support. If adapting the AI agent to your constraints, your needs or your requests requires other paid components — a third-party publisher's software licence, paid API access to one of your applications, hosting of health data, for which French law requires an HDS-certified host (art. L. 1111-8 of the French Public Health Code), SecNumCloud-qualified hosting, a speech synthesis service, particular hardware —, they are offered to you as an option or on quotation and re-invoiced at the cost incurred; nothing is committed without your written agreement. Where the artificial intelligence model you choose entails an additional cost, that cost is shown to you before you order and re-invoiced to you at the cost incurred, with no margin.

Our commitment

Four guarantees that matter to your incoming flows

The requests received do not leave the companyLocal inference or an isolated resource hosted in France; no message from a client or a partner entrusted to a third party, no content used to train a model.
Data in France, under French lawThe content of the requests that reach you: minimisation and location in France, architecture designed to reduce exposure to extraterritorial legislation, location alone not being enough to guarantee immunity.
The receiving department keeps the decisionThe agent produces a classification and a proposed allocation, which can be checked and altered; no approval is automated.
Human oversight & traceabilityOn your volume of incoming enquiries: systematic logging and tracking, in line with the AI Act.
Frequently asked questions

Your questions, our answers

Is the proposed allocation final?
No. The receiving department can correct it in one move, and the correction is recorded. The agent directs to save time; it never locks a request into a queue.
What does the agent base its choice on?
On your categories and your allocation rules, and it states the element of the message behind the proposal. An allocation that could not be explained would be unusable: explainability is part of what is delivered.
What does the agent do with a request straddling two departments?
It raises it, flagging both possible readings, without choosing. Deciding at random would waste both teams' time; a human decision is quicker.
Is the content of the requests protected?
Yes. The agent is hosted in France, on local inference or an isolated resource, with the deployment objective of processing and access operated within the European Union and an architecture designed to reduce exposure to extraterritorial legislation, location alone not being enough to guarantee immunity. Your clients' messages are not used to train a third-party model.
Does it connect to our request management tools?
Yes. Requests come in from your customers' channels — WhatsApp Business, your website chat, email — and go out to your teams in Microsoft Teams, Slack or their email, as well as into the common ticketing tools, without changing anyone's habits. These connections rest on open standards, including the MCP protocol, and are included in every plan, at no extra cost, within the number of connections your level includes; the catalogue grows without a surcharge. Only the fees charged by third-party platforms — WhatsApp Business bills per conversation — are passed on to you at cost, without margin, outside the subscription. The integration is defined at the design stage.
How long does it take to deploy this agent?
A few weeks as a rule, depending on the number of categories and departments involved, after a free audit then a phase of design, integration and testing.
