History

A shared operational memory

One conversation can create a customer, trigger a visit, become a quote, generate a work order and remain part of the same operational history.

The system is designed so that customer context survives the handoffs between marketing, service, commercial decisions and execution.

The problem

A lead is only valuable if the business can keep the thread.

For a busy technical service company, customer information can quickly become fragmented across WhatsApp, memory, notes, visits, quotes and execution.

The project began by connecting that operational chain. Instead of adding another isolated dashboard, the goal became a simpler assistant backed by a structured system of record.

Conversation layer

The interface starts where the customer already is.

WhatsApp is treated as a customer channel, not as the database. Messages create structured context while automatic, human and paused modes keep control with the operation.

Customer conversation

WhatsApp / assisted flow

automatic

Good morning. I'd like a quote for a new air conditioning installation.

10:32

Of course. I can help with the quote. To start, what is the unit capacity and which city is the installation in?

10:32

12,000 BTU, in Hortolândia.

10:33

Perfect. I'll register those details and prepare the next step for the quote.

Product direction

The assistant is the product. The CRM is the operational memory underneath.

The system is being shaped around natural requests such as preparing a quote, scheduling a visit or surfacing what needs attention today.

Complexity stays below the interface: multi-tenant data, permissions, command handling, audit trails, communication rules and domain state.

What changed and why

Product principles
01

Conversation becomes context.

An enquiry does not remain trapped inside a message thread. Customer, service need and next action become structured operational context.

02

AI acts through rules.

Marc.I.A. is designed around authorised actions, policy checks, auditability and human handoff instead of unrestricted autonomous behaviour.

03

The CRM stays underneath.

The product is the assistant and the workflow around it. The CRM works as operational memory, keeping clients, visits, quotes and work orders connected.

What this proves

Marketing, service and operations do not have to live in separate systems.

LA is the first real operating environment for Marc.I.A., a Proxy product direction developed alongside the business. The work connects Ichthus acquisition and experience capabilities with Proxy technology.

The project is ongoing. This case documents the system direction and implemented operational foundation without presenting unverified performance claims.
