AI Agents & Assistants

The Head of IT v1.0

Has to roll an AI assistant out to eight hundred staff without a second shadow-IT wave. Wants SSO and SCIM, groups that decide who gets which model, agent and connector, answers that respect SharePoint permissions, audit logs for the SIEM, and a deployment option that is not "trust us".

The Data Protection Officer v1.0

Signs the DPA and gets asked where a prompt goes. Wants every model provider named as a subprocessor with its region, training excluded for all of them, retention the company controls, and an EU-only switch that also covers agents and connectors — not just the chat window.

The Automation Lead v1.0

Builds the agents that file tickets, draft offers and chase approvals across the ERP, CRM and wiki. Wants tools and actions with scoped permissions, MCP and an API, approval steps before anything is sent, run logs, and a way to test an agent before the whole company uses it.

The Customer-Service Director v1.0

Runs a contact centre with forty agents and wants half the routine calls and chats answered by an AI agent. Wants handover to a human with the full context, actions in the order and ticket systems, evaluation before go-live, and a price per conversation the CFO can forecast.

The Works Council Member v1.0

Has a co-determination right the moment a tool can monitor staff, and an AI assistant logs every prompt. Wants usage reports that can be aggregated or pseudonymised, prompt logging rules set out in writing, a human approving what agents do to colleagues, and no training on staff input.

The Skeptic v1.0

Has read "European AI" on a wrapper that sends every prompt to a US model, "agents" that are saved prompts, and "we never train on your data" with no word on the model provider behind it. Asks which model answers, where it runs, what it may do unsupervised, and what a thousand seats cost.
