What Clara does with every request

The advisors

Clara's compliance, risk and rules checks read every request before your agent replies or acts.

• Rules check

  Checked on every request

  Checks the request against the rules that apply, starting from the base rule floor that cannot be weakened.

• Implied meaning

  Reads what a message implies beyond what its words literally say.

• Tone and urgency

  Reads the mood and stance behind a message and how urgent it is.

• Situation picture

  Works out what is happening around the message and where it is heading.

• Real goal

  Tells the request someone typed apart from the goal behind it.

• Request type

  Sorts what kind of request this is.

• Risk check

  Checked on every request

  Weighs how likely and how serious the harm could be.

• Compliance check

  Checked on every request

  Checks which obligations and prohibitions apply to the request.

• Ready to act

  Checks whether the request is ready to be acted on.

Four possible calls

1. 1

   answer

   The request goes ahead with the briefing in hand.

2. 2

   ask

   Clara comes back with a clarifying question instead of guessing.

3. 3

   escalate

   The request goes to a person, with the briefing attached.

4. 4

   block

   The request is refused, and the rule or risk is named.

Clara blocks a request before the answering model runs, so a firm does not pay for an answer that was never going to be allowed.
