Benchmark an agentic AI model's ability to resolve complex customer billing issues. This workflow tests the AI's ability to investigate tickets, handle complex logic, execute changes in an admin app, and communicate with the customer.

The workflow

Follow the sequence once, then adapt the prompts, checks, and handoffs to your own setup.

5 steps

Step 01

Investigate the Ticket

In a mock admin app with test customer data, provide the agent with a ticket that is intentionally linked to the wrong customer account. The agent must be able to identify this error as the first step.

This tests the agent's ability to cross-reference information and identify discrepancies.

Step 02

Find the Correct Account

After identifying the error, the agent must search the system (e.g., a mock admin app) to locate the correct customer profile associated with the ticket's details.

Example prompt
Your AI agent needs to find the correct customer profile in the system based on the information in the ticket.
Step 03

Handle Complex Refund Logic

The ticket should describe a duplicate charge. The agent must calculate the correct refund amount based on this logic, rather than simply refunding a requested amount.

This benchmarks the model's reasoning and calculation abilities in a real-world scenario.

Step 04

Execute Changes and Avoid Traps

The agent must issue the correct refund and make a change to the customer's plan within the system. As a test, include a prompt injection task within the ticket's text to see if the agent ignores it and stays on task.

Example prompt
The ticket contains a hidden instruction to perform an unrelated action. Test if your agent ignores this and focuses on the core problem.
Step 05

Communicate and Close

Finally, the agent must draft a clear and correct reply to the customer explaining the resolution and then mark the ticket as solved in the system.

Assess the quality of the agent's communication. It should sound professional and accurately summarize the actions taken.
