AI agent for dispatchers

Missed Job Recovery Agent

Recover missed or late jobs fast and confirm that each one is finished.

Missed Job Recovery Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

When a job slips past its window, most teams only notice when the customer calls. This agent scans the schedule for jobs that are late or missed, then checks why: a no-show, a delayed crew, a parts problem, or a customer who was not home. It finds the next feasible slot by looking at technician schedules and travel time, and drafts the rebooking offer. The dispatcher approves each rebooking before the customer hears anything. After the new slot is accepted the agent tracks the job to completion and checks that it was actually done. Edge case: if the customer declines the slot, it offers the next two options instead of closing the job.

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.

How it decides

It picks the earliest slot that fits skills, travel time and the customer's stated availability, and checks completion before closing.

  • A job is late when it is 30 minutes past its window with no arrival
  • Offer the earliest slot within 2 days first
  • Offer up to three slots before escalating
  • A job needing parts waits until the parts are confirmed

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Minutes late before a job is flagged (default 30)
  • Number of slots to offer (default 3)
  • Message channel (default text)
  • Which job types need parts confirmed first

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Dispatcher approves each rebooking and customer message

Hard limits

  • Never contact a customer before the dispatcher approves
  • Never close a job without a completion record

It stops when

  • Done: job completed and logged
  • Stop: customer declines all slots or cancels, and the dispatcher closes it

An example run

What happensA 9 am boiler service is missed because the crew van broke down. The agent finds Dana's 1 pm gap, but her travel time is 55 minutes and the customer is only free until 2 pm. That fails the check, so it picks Thursday at 10 am. The dispatcher approves, the customer accepts, and the agent confirms the job is closed Thursday.
