Agentic operating-model experiment

Athena AI

A multi-tenant business workflow prototype

A multi-tenant business-workflow prototype with departmental modules, queued agent execution, retrieval memory, and model routing. The source demonstrates orchestration boundaries, not autonomous business operation.

Business ↔ technology bridge · Agentic operating-model experiment

Make agent-assisted business work observable before it becomes authority.

Explores tenant-scoped agents, organisational memory, queued execution, and human review boundaries.

This is a portfolio and source interpretation—not a customer, deployment, certification, or outcome claim.

  1. 01

    Business pressure

    Departmental workflows and knowledge are fragmented, while a chat interface can conceal who owns an action, which data it used, and whether work completed.

  2. 02

    Product decision

    Scope data by tenant, queue agent work, separate model routing from business modules, and retain human review notices.

  3. 03

    Technical record

    Web, API, worker, database, agent, model-routing, retrieval-memory, schema, and selected test packages.

  4. 04

    Evidence return

    Tool results, queue state, retrieval provenance, and review outcomes return to workflow design, permissions, staffing, and operating controls.

Architecture and product decisions

  • Scope organisational data and workflows by tenant before agents or retrieval can consume them.
  • Run agent work through a queue rather than treating a chat response as a completed business action.
  • Encode human-review notices in agent definitions and keep model routing separate from business modules.

Inspectable evidence

  • Web, API, worker, database, agent, model-routing, memory, and shared-schema packages.
  • Typed database migrations and agent/tool schemas.
  • Unit tests for selected agent tools, routing, chunking, schemas, and browser smoke paths.

Claim boundary

  • No autonomous authority to transact, contact people, or change a business system is asserted.
  • No customer integration, data-residency guarantee, compliance status, or production deployment is established.
  • Generated departmental outputs require human review and separately configured data and model services.

Repository evidence is not client, deployment, certification, or outcome evidence.

Architecture

9 modules, 27 agent definitions, one company memory

Three source boundaries: a business workspace, queued departmental agent workflows, and a retrieval-memory layer scoped by organisation.

Source map only: a layer can represent implemented code, an adapter boundary, or documented design. It does not assert a configured production service.

  1. 01

    Layer 1 — Workspace

    The source represents nine department modules under one Next.js shell and a multi-tenant design. It does not prove a certification, a customer integration, or the operational replacement of existing systems.

  2. 02

    Layer 2 — 27 Agent Definitions

    Modules expose specialised agent definitions for lead scoring, planning, triage, invoice review, recruitment support, and policy review. Provider and locality behaviour depend on configuration; no sovereignty guarantee is asserted.

  3. 03

    Layer 3 — Company Memory

    Document chunking, vector embeddings, and retrieval are represented in source. Grounding quality depends on the ingested corpus, access controls, retrieval evaluation, and human review.

The Problem

The Problem

Why business operations are broken

  1. Tool Fragmentation

    Separate CRM, marketing, support, finance, and HR systems that don't talk to each other. Teams waste hours copying data between platforms.

  2. Generic AI Assistants

    ChatGPT can write emails but doesn't know your sales pipeline, customer history, or company policies. Generic AI adds noise, not value.

  3. Knowledge Silos

    Critical institutional knowledge lives in people's heads, scattered docs, and old emails. When someone leaves, the knowledge walks out the door.

  4. Compliance Burden

    GDPR, the AI Act, contracts, and sector rules can create different logging, oversight, security, and transfer obligations. Hosting geography alone neither establishes nor prevents compliance; roles, data flows, subprocessors, controls, and evidence all matter.

Modules

Department Modules

9 modules and 27 specialised agent definitions in source, 3 per department

Source scope only: an entry can describe implemented code, a documented adapter, or a configured workflow. It is not a statement that a production service is active.

  1. 01

    Sales

    Source representation: Lead scoring, deal tracking, and proposal generation. Agent definitions: LeadQualifier, ProposalWriter, DealCoach.

  2. 02

    Marketing

    Source representation: Campaign management, content creation, and audience segmentation. Agent definitions: ContentStrategist, SeoWriter, CampaignManager.

  3. 03

    Customer Support

    Source representation: Ticket management, AI-assisted resolution, and escalation routing. Agent definitions: SupportAgent, EscalationRouter, VoiceOfCustomer.

  4. 04

    Finance

    Source representation: Invoice processing, expense tracking, and budget management. Agent definitions: InvoiceParser, Bookkeeper, FinancialAnalyst.

  5. 05

    HR & People

    Source representation: Employee management, recruitment pipeline, and PTO workflows. Agent definitions: Recruiter, OnboardingGuide, HRPolicy.

  6. 06

    Knowledge Base

    Source representation: Document management with semantic search and Company Memory. Agent definitions: KnowledgeAssistant, MeetingScribe, ContractReviewer.

  7. 07

    Analytics

    Source representation: Business reports, trend analysis, and custom dashboards. Agent definitions: BusinessAnalyst, CompetitiveIntel, TrendSpotter.

  8. 08

    Compliance

    The source represents audit logs, compliance scanning, and regulatory checks. Agent definitions: ComplianceMonitor, GDPRAgent (Article-specific checks, data inventory, legal-basis drafts), LegalReviewer. It does not establish legal completeness or compliance.

  9. 09

    Operations

    Source representation: Workflow automation, task management, and process improvement. Agent definitions: WorkflowAutomator, OpsAnalyst, ProcurementAgent.

9 departments, one lead agent each

Department workflows represented as bounded agent roles.

The source defines specialised agents for each department. Below: the lead agent definition for each module’s proposed day-to-day workflow.

Repository surface only: availability, completeness, performance, and operational fitness require separate validation.

SALES

Lead Scorer + Pipeline Coach

01

Represents inbound and outbound lead scoring against a supplied ICP, next-best-action drafts, and stalled-pipeline flags. No CRM integration is established.

MARKETING

Campaign Strategist

02

Drafts campaign briefs, channel options, copy, and KPI hypotheses from supplied context. Brand and performance claims require human review.

SUPPORT

Ticket Triage

03

Represents ticket classification by severity and topic, a suggested first response from a supplied knowledge base, and escalation routing to a human reviewer.

FINANCE

Invoice Processor

04

Represents invoice extraction, purchase-order comparison, exception flags, and close-summary drafts. Financial authority and data locality remain external controls.

HR

Recruitment Screener

05

Represents CV parsing against a job scorecard, candidate flags for interview, personalised outreach drafts, and funnel tracking. Screening decisions remain with a human reviewer.

KNOWLEDGE

Document Curator

06

Represents ingestion, chunking, deduplication, vector retrieval, and cited answers for configured documents. Coverage is limited to authorised, successfully indexed material.

ANALYTICS

Trend Detector

07

Represents anomaly checks on business KPIs, root-cause hypotheses against supplied data, and a draft executive narrative for the monthly review. Findings require human review.

COMPLIANCE

Audit Trail Watcher

08

Represents policy checks and draft evidence records for selected workflow outputs. It does not establish legal completeness or compliance.

OPS

Workflow Optimiser

09

Represents profiling of repeated multi-step workflows and suggestions for where AI agents could shorten them. Workflow changes and any time or cost estimate require human review.
