# Operations — AI agent teams

URL: https://openenvelope.org/roles/operations

Operations teams hold the connective tissue of the business together. multi-agent teams built for ops handle the monitoring, routing, and reporting so your team can focus on decisions rather than data collection. Here are six teams worth building.

## SLA monitor

Tracks service level commitments across your systems — support tickets, vendor contracts, internal processes — and flags anything approaching breach before it becomes a problem. SLA compliance improves without someone manually watching every queue.

Agents:
- SLA Tracker: Monitors time-based commitments across systems
- Threshold Alerter: Sends warnings at configurable lead times
- Escalation Handler: Notifies the responsible team when breach is imminent

## Vendor contract manager

Monitors vendor contracts approaching renewal, flags relationships with performance issues or cost concerns, and produces a renewal recommendation for each. You enter every vendor renewal conversation prepared.

Agents:
- Contract Scanner: Identifies contracts approaching renewal
- Risk Assessor: Flags performance or cost concerns from recent data
- Renewal Recommender: Drafts a recommendation for each renewal decision

## Process documentation team

Observes recurring workflows, drafts structured SOPs from what it sees, and surfaces gaps in existing documentation. Your operational playbook stays current without documentation being anyone's separate job.

Agents:
- Workflow Observer: Monitors recurring processes for patterns
- SOP Drafter: Writes structured process documentation
- Gap Identifier: Flags where documentation is missing or outdated

## Approval routing engine

Routes incoming approval requests — budget, vendor, access, policy exception — to the right approver based on type and value, chases overdue approvals, and logs decisions. Nothing goes quiet in an inbox.

Agents:
- Request Classifier: Determines approval type and threshold
- Approver Router: Sends to the right person with context
- Decision Tracker: Chases overdue approvals and logs outcomes

## Weekly ops report compiler

Every week, pulls data from your connected systems — support volumes, pipeline health, usage metrics, SLA performance — and assembles a structured operations report. Leadership gets a current view without anyone spending Friday afternoon in spreadsheets.

Agents:
- Data Collector: Pulls metrics from connected systems
- Aggregator: Combines and formats the data coherently
- Report Writer: Produces the weekly operations summary

## Compliance deadline tracker

Maintains a schedule of compliance deadlines — audits, renewals, filings, certifications — sends reminders to the responsible owners at the right intervals, and tracks completion. Compliance tasks stop being discovered at the last minute.

Agents:
- Deadline Monitor: Tracks compliance tasks and their due dates
- Reminder Sender: Notifies owners at the right intervals
- Completion Tracker: Records outcomes and escalates overdue items
