AI agent for bank branch managers
Branch Teller Staffing Pattern Agent
Build an hourly teller staffing pattern from traffic data and check it against results
What it does
Lobby traffic peaks rarely match the teller schedule, so customers wait at noon and tellers idle at 2 pm. The agent reads transaction counts and foot traffic by hour and builds a staffing pattern, a demand curve for each day of the week. It compares the pattern with the current schedule and spots gaps and overstaffing. It then proposes shift changes, such as staggering lunch breaks or a late start for one teller, within employee availability. After two weeks it checks wait times and transactions against its prediction and keeps or reverses each change. The manager approves the schedule. Edge case: month-end Fridays are twice as busy, so the agent builds a separate pattern.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- Schedule cycle begins
- Load hourly transactions and foot traffic

- Staffing pattern and results report
How it decides
Staffing follows demand per hour within the available hours; a change stays only if later wait times improve.
- Staff one teller per defined transaction load per hour
- Build separate patterns for month end and paydays
- Respect availability and break rules
- Keep a change only if peak waits fall
