💡 Use Cases

🛠️ Integration Scenarios

The Generic AI Agent System is designed to enhance your existing applications with intelligent automation. Here are key scenarios where this platform adds significant value:

1. 📞 Customer Service Automation

Problem: High volume of repetitive customer inquiries overwhelming support teams.

Solution with Agent System:

// Your existing customer service API
[HttpPost("/tickets")]
public async Task<IActionResult> CreateTicket(TicketRequest request)
{
    // Traditional approach: Direct to human agents
    
    // Enhanced with Agent System:
    var agentWorkflow = await _agentOrchestrator.CreateWorkflowAsync(
        "customer-service-triage",
        new { ticket = request, priority = "auto-classify" }
    );
    
    var result = await agentWorkflow.ExecuteAsync();
    
    if (result.CanBeAutomated)
    {
        return Ok(await _agentSystem.HandleAutomatically(request));
    }
    
    // Route to human agent with AI insights
    return Ok(await RouteToHumanAgent(request, result.Insights));
}

Benefits: 70% reduction in manual ticket handling, instant response times, 24/7 availability.

2. 📝 Content Processing Pipeline

Problem: Manual content review and processing bottlenecks.

Solution Integration:

// Your existing CMS or content system
[HttpPost("/content/process")]
[RequireWorkflowManager] // Uses Agent System RBAC
public async Task<IActionResult> ProcessContent(ContentRequest request)
{
    // Create multi-step AI workflow
    var pipeline = await _agentOrchestrator.CreateWorkflowAsync("content-pipeline", new
    {
        steps = new[]
        {
            "content-analysis",      // AI analyzes content quality
            "seo-optimization",      // AI suggests SEO improvements  
            "compliance-check",      // AI checks regulatory compliance
            "auto-categorization"    // AI categorizes and tags
        },
        content = request.Content
    });
    
    var result = await pipeline.ExecuteAsync();
    
    // Your existing business logic enhanced with AI insights
    return Ok(new ContentProcessingResult 
    {
        OriginalContent = request.Content,
        AIInsights = result.Insights,
        Recommendations = result.Recommendations,
        ComplianceStatus = result.ComplianceStatus
    });
}

Benefits: 10x faster processing, consistent quality checks, automated compliance.

3. 🔍 Document Intelligence & Workflow Automation

Problem: Complex document processing requiring multiple steps and approvals.

Solution Integration:

// Your existing document management system
public class DocumentProcessingService
{
    private readonly IAgentOrchestrator _orchestrator;
    private readonly IYourExistingDocumentService _documentService;
    
    public async Task<ProcessingResult> ProcessDocumentAsync(Document document)
    {
        // Create intelligent document workflow
        var workflow = await _orchestrator.CreateWorkflowAsync("document-intelligence", new
        {
            document = document,
            steps = new[]
            {
                "extract-metadata",     // AI extracts key information
                "classify-document",    // AI determines document type
                "validate-content",     // AI validates completeness
                "route-for-approval",   // AI determines approval workflow
                "generate-summary"      // AI creates executive summary
            }
        });
        
        var aiResults = await workflow.ExecuteAsync();
        
        // Integrate AI results with your existing business logic
        var processedDoc = await _documentService.EnhanceWithAI(document, aiResults);
        
        // Route based on AI recommendations
        if (aiResults.RequiresHumanReview)
        {
            await _documentService.RouteForHumanReview(processedDoc, aiResults.ReviewReasons);
        }
        else
        {
            await _documentService.AutoApprove(processedDoc);
        }
        
        return new ProcessingResult
        {
            Document = processedDoc,
            AIInsights = aiResults,
            ProcessingTime = workflow.ExecutionTime,
            AutomationLevel = aiResults.AutomationConfidence
        };
    }
}

Benefits: 90% faster document processing, consistent classification, intelligent routing.

4. 🛒 E-commerce Intelligence

Problem: Complex product recommendations, pricing optimization, and inventory management.

Integration Example:

// Your existing e-commerce platform
[HttpGet("/products/recommendations/{userId}")]
[RequirePermission("product:read")] // Uses Agent System authorization
public async Task<IActionResult> GetPersonalizedRecommendations(string userId)
{
    // Create AI-driven recommendation workflow
    var recommendationWorkflow = await _agentOrchestrator.CreateWorkflowAsync(
        "personalized-recommendations", 
        new 
        {
            userId = userId,
            context = await GetUserContext(userId),
            algorithms = new[] 
            {
                "collaborative-filtering",
                "content-based-filtering",
                "behavioral-analysis",
                "trend-analysis"
            }
        }
    );
    
    var aiRecommendations = await recommendationWorkflow.ExecuteAsync();
    
    // Combine AI insights with your business rules
    var finalRecommendations = await _productService.ApplyBusinessRules(
        aiRecommendations.Products,
        aiRecommendations.Confidence,
        await GetInventoryStatus()
    );
    
    return Ok(new RecommendationResponse
    {
        Products = finalRecommendations,
        AIInsights = aiRecommendations.Reasoning,
        PersonalizationScore = aiRecommendations.PersonalizationScore
    });
}

5. 🏥 Healthcare Workflow Automation

Problem: Complex patient care workflows with multiple decision points.

Integration Pattern:

// Your existing healthcare system
public class PatientCareWorkflowService
{
    public async Task<CareRecommendation> ProcessPatientDataAsync(PatientData patient)
    {
        // HIPAA-compliant AI workflow
        var careWorkflow = await _secureOrchestrator.CreateWorkflowAsync(
            "patient-care-analysis",
            new 
            {
                patientData = patient.Anonymized(), // Your anonymization logic
                workflows = new[]
                {
                    "symptom-analysis",
                    "risk-assessment", 
                    "treatment-options",
                    "care-coordination"
                },
                complianceLevel = "HIPAA"
            }
        );
        
        var aiInsights = await careWorkflow.ExecuteAsync();
        
        // Your existing medical logic enhanced with AI
        var recommendations = await _medicalService.ValidateWithMedicalRules(
            aiInsights,
            patient.MedicalHistory
        );
        
        return new CareRecommendation
        {
            PatientId = patient.Id,
            AIInsights = aiInsights.ClinicalInsights,
            RecommendedActions = recommendations.Actions,
            UrgencyLevel = aiInsights.UrgencyAssessment,
            RequiresPhysicianReview = recommendations.RequiresReview
        };
    }
}

🔄 Common Integration Patterns

Pattern 1: AI-Enhanced Decision Making

// Before: Manual decision logic
if (complexBusinessCondition1 && complexBusinessCondition2)
{
    return ProcessManually();
}

// After: AI-enhanced with fallback to business rules
var aiDecision = await _agentSystem.GetDecisionRecommendation(context);
if (aiDecision.Confidence > 0.8)
{
    return ProcessWithAI(aiDecision);
}
return ProcessWithBusinessRules(context); // Fallback to existing logic

Pattern 2: Gradual AI Adoption

// Start with AI insights alongside existing logic
public async Task<ProcessingResult> ProcessRequest(Request request)
{
    // Your existing processing (unchanged)
    var traditionalResult = await _existingService.Process(request);
    
    // Add AI insights in parallel (no risk)
    var aiInsights = await _agentSystem.AnalyzeRequest(request);
    
    // Combine both approaches
    return new EnhancedResult
    {
        TraditionalResult = traditionalResult,
        AIInsights = aiInsights,
        Recommendations = aiInsights.SuggestedImprovements
    };
}

Pattern 3: Workflow Orchestration

// Complex multi-step process made simple
var workflow = await _agentOrchestrator.CreateWorkflowAsync("multi-step-process", new
{
    steps = new[]
    {
        new { name = "validate-input", useAI = true },
        new { name = "process-data", useAI = true },
        new { name = "generate-output", useAI = false }, // Your existing logic
        new { name = "quality-check", useAI = true }
    },
    data = inputData
});

var result = await workflow.ExecuteAsync();
