Internal ops & IT helpdesk agent
Employee tickets that become rows and appflows — known issues from a doc, humans for anything that can lock someone out for real.
Employee tickets that become rows and appflows — known issues from a doc, humans for anything that can lock someone out for real.
Employee IT questions do not belong on the customer support agent. Different audience, different tables, different blast radius (account lockouts, access).
Known issues from an internal doc, a tickets table, appflows for resets or access requests with approval. Anything security-sensitive should fail closed to a human.
Known
Issue doc
Answers you would post on a wiki
Ticket
A row, not a DM
IT can see volume and owners
Closed
Access is a flow
Approvals before entitlements
Traditional tools
A #it-help channel that is unsearchable plus a private Slack DM to the one admin who is on PTO.
With Maicos
A ticket table, a known-issue doc, appflows with approval, and an agent that will not grant access in chat.
Internal tickets with brakes. Fail closed on access.
VPN client version, printer mapping, “SSO is down.” If it is not in the doc, the agent opens a ticket instead of improvising a registry edit.
Even when the agent answers, a ticket means IT can see repeats. Chat-only helpdesks cannot be staffed.
Access requests collect fields, then wait for the right approver. The agent is the front door, not the IAM system.
If the known-issue doc says the IdP is down, say that and stop. Do not run 200 parallel “try restarting” threads.
Document, ticket, approve, then act.
Because you will. Keep it dated. Remove stale fixes.
Category, severity, requester, status. The agent writes rows.
Password reset, group membership, laptop. Human approval on anything privileged.
Employees only. Customer “I can’t log in to your product” is support, not this agent.
The wrong answer is the agent adding them to a group because they sounded senior.
Employee asks in the internal agent
Workspace member, ops project.
Agent starts the access appflow
Collects system, justification, duration. Does not grant.
Approver gets a task
Looks right or not. Flow completes in the destination system if connected.
Ticket closes with an audit trail
Who asked, who approved, when. Chat logs are not an IAM audit.
Helpdesk agents that can change production access in a sentence are an incident waiting for a calendar invite.
If the request can lock someone out or let them in, it is a flow with an approver. The agent’s personality is irrelevant.
The same apps you already work in — not a second chatbot that needs uploads.
Useful agents have a job description. These limits keep this page honest — and help you pick a different agent when you need one.
How people use this every day.
Quote the doc, still open a low-severity ticket so IT sees volume.
Appflow + approver. Never grant in the model’s reply.
Onboarding starts the laptop flow; ops executes it. Two roles, one ticket table if you want, two permission sets.
Badge, desk, visitor — same pattern: table + flow, not a public booking agent unless visitors are truly guests.
An employee-only Maicos agent that answers known issues from a doc, writes tickets to a table, and starts approved appflows. It is not the customer support agent.
Only through an appflow you connected to your identity provider, with whatever extra verification you require. Chat-only resets are a footgun.
Different data, different tone, different legal exposure. Route by audience even if the model is the same underneath.
Put the banner in the known-issue doc and make the agent read it first. Then stop. Do not debug production in 200 parallel chats.
It can be a lightweight ticket + flow layer. If ServiceNow is already mandated, integrate rather than pretend the table is the CMDB.
