Client-Services & Account-Management AI Agent

Draft client updates, answer routine account questions from the figures of record, and track actions, approvals and open items — a named account owner sends every message, and scope changes go through change control.

What this agent does

Writes the update — the owner sends it

In
01

Read the account — the signed scope, the rate card, the open actions and the last thing this client was told.

02

Take campaign figures only from the reporting source of record, stamped with the window and the time pulled.

Reason
03

Draft the update, the answer or the recap from the account record, in the account owner's own register.

04

Mark what the signed scope covers and what is new work, and quote no rate — pricing is a commercial decision.

05

Check every sentence that promises, agrees, approves or concedes against what the agreement supports.

Decide
06

Hold anything that commits the agency, moves a date or quotes a figure that has not reconciled.

07

Route the draft to the named account owner, and anything that changes scope to whoever signs it.

Out
08

Log actions, owners, due dates and approvals against the account, with the message each came from.

09

Retain the source of every figure, the draft, the owner's edit and the version the client received.

Product statement

The agent drafts and tracks. Nothing reaches a client until a named account owner sends it, and no scope, price or timeline changes without the contract's change control.

Example workflow

One client request, end to end

AgentHuman
1Request or trigger receivedA client email, the weekly update slot, a meeting recap or an action falling due
2Account context gatheredThe scope in force, the rate card, prior approvals, open actions and the last thing this client was told
3Figures pulled and reconciledCampaign numbers taken from the reporting source of record and checked against the billed view, time-stamped
4Draft written and checkedThe reply, update or recap drafted, then every commitment, date, rate and figure checked against the record
No human action required

Stages 1 to 4 run without a person in the loop — the context, the figures and the draft are finished before the account owner opens anything.

5DecisionSplits on whether the draft commits the agency
In scope, figures reconciled

Reaches the account owner ready to send.

Commits, or moves scope or a date

Held with the sentence named, not sent.

Account owner and change approver

The account owner reads the draft against the account and sends it under their own name; anything that moves scope, price or a date goes to whoever signs a change order first.

Send · Rewrite · Raise a change
Approved — handed back
6Record updatedActions, owners, due dates and approvals written to the account, alongside the version the client actually received
7Outcome evaluatedFigure accuracy against source, commitments the reviewer flagged, approval-trail completeness and escalations
Owner edits

Every edit an account owner makes to a draft is counted.

What should not run autonomously

Human approval stays in control

Outside the boundary — human approval required8 items
Sending any message to a client.
Agreeing a scope change, a price or a rate.
Committing to a date, a deliverable or a make-good.
Recording an approval the client did not give.
Automation boundaryAgent acts unaided
Draft updates, replies and recaps from the account record and the scope in force.
Pull campaign figures from the reporting source of record.
Track actions, owners, due dates and outstanding approvals across accounts.
Flag the sentence that commits the agency before anyone can send it.
Write actions run only inside the approval boundaries agreed during implementation. Sending to a client and agreeing a scope change are not among them.
Quoting a performance figure that has not reconciled.
Answering from another client's account or spend.
Escalating, apologising or conceding fault on an account.
Changing the scope record or the approval thresholds.

Value

Where AI adds value

The same four claims, placed at the point in the workflow where each one applies.

Where the value landsValue 01 – 04
Every client requestFrom email, calls and briefs
03Account record

Answer from the account's record

Use the scope in force, the approval trail and the reporting source of record — not what the thread remembers.

01Approved path

Take the writing off the account team

Updates, recaps and routine answers are drafted before the account owner opens the account, so they edit and send rather than assemble.

02Human review

Catch the commitment in the draft

A sentence that agrees scope, a date or a rate is named before it is sent, instead of surfacing when the client asks the agency to honour it.

04Build an evidence trail

Retain the source of every figure, the scope in force, the draft, the account owner's edit and the version the client received — on both paths.

Integrations

Typical integrations

Five system groups connect to the same agent. Which of them are in scope is decided in discovery.

Agent controls

Six layers between the model and your client

Each control wraps the one inside it. A draft clears every layer before an account owner reads it, and the send sits outside all six.

How Nestack evaluates it

Evaluate the message that was sent — not only the draft.

Coverage runs the whole depth of the workflow, and every layer is cut by slice.

Surface — the update and the answer the client reads
Depth of coverage ▼
E1Final-output evaluationDoes every figure in the draft match the source of record?
E2Step-level evaluationDid it read the scope in force and the approval trail before drafting?

Affected slices

The account in trouble is not the average account

Aggregate draft quality can look acceptable while a few account cohorts carry most of the flagged commitments, most of the figure corrections and nearly all of the scope disputes. Nestack reports performance by slice, not only in total.

Evidence-linked improvement

The bill for a sentence arrives weeks after it is sent

A commitment only looks wrong when the client acts on it, weeks later. The cycle must reach the message that caused it, not last week's drafts.

Improvement cycle · five stagesSwitchback — the path turns at Improve and returns at Learn
01Detect

A dispute, an unbilled hour or a reissued figure traces back to a sent draft.

02Diagnose

Isolated to the source read, the scope in force, the commitment check or the send.

03Improve

The rule, source or template is changed, re-approved by the account lead and version-linked.

04Verify

Re-run against held-out drafts from that account, including the one that caused the dispute.

05Learn

The disputed sentence becomes a regression case and a line in the account playbook.

Learn → DetectThe return edge. Every cycle also re-reads the scope and rate card in force — last quarter's correct answer is this quarter's out-of-scope work.

Typical build scope

Twelve workstreams across six weeks

The build scope read against the delivery timeline. Week structure follows the six-week plan — discovery, account and scope sourcing, drafting and pre-send checks, evaluation, review workflow, then production validation and handover.

Delivery timeline

Four phases across six weeks

Phases are drawn over the weeks they actually occupy. Week 5 carries both the evaluation work and the first drafts an account owner sends.

Phase W1W2W3W4W5W6
Discovery W1
Build W2 – W3
Evaluate W4 – W5
Pilot & Launch W5 – W6
Week focus W1Accounts in scope, who owns each and who signs a change W2Scope and rate-card sourcing, system access and client separation W3Draft generation, commitment checks and the pre-send hold W4Action and approval tracking, evaluation suite and leakage probes W5Owner review workflow, first drafts sent and targeted corrections W6Production validation, recap controls and Agent Care handover
Reading the bandClient separation is built in week 2, before a single account is drafted against in week 3. The bars show that dependency, not a smooth ramp.
At the end of W6Drafts have gone out under named account owners, and every flagged commitment was cleared or removed first, then Agent Care takes over monitoring.
