Making a language model predictable
Left to improvise, an AI model will eventually promise an appointment time that is not open. So the parts of a call where a mistake costs something (booking, checking availability, handing off to staff, complaints, emergencies, and ending the call) follow deterministic pipelines: fixed, step-by-step logic written in code. Developing the deterministic pipelines raised the share of test conversations the agent handled correctly from 52% to 93%.
