Reliable AI Operations for Customer Engagement with Agent RAI

Executive Summary 

A global organisation in the contact centre domain sought to improve the safety, reliability, and governance of its AI-powered customer support system. Using AgentRAI, the team implemented an intelligent orchestration framework with built-in responsible AI practices. The solution integrates Amazon Comprehend and Amazon SageMaker Clarify for content analysis and bias detection, and Amazon CloudWatch with AWS X-Ray for observability and traceability. The result was a safer, more transparent AI system that met compliance standards and offered enhanced user trust. 

Customer Challenge 

Business Challenges 

• Need to implement AI-powered agents for customer interactions 

• Ensure reliable, consistent performance under varied input conditions 

• Detect and block harmful or manipulative content during AI-agent interactions 

• Meet safety and compliance standards for AI usage in public-facing services 

• Lack of observability and trust in AI model decision paths 

Technical Challenges 

• Integrating responsible AI features without access to internal APIs 

• Implementing real-time content moderation with minimal latency 

• Observing AI model behaviour across complex decision chains 

• Ensuring safety at both the input and output stages of the AI pipeline 

• Tracking and visualizing interventions and content violations 

Partner Solution 

Solution Overview 

The AgentRAI-powered architecture included three agents: 

• Orchestrator Agent: Handled incoming queries, identified intents, and routed requests. 

• Specialist Agent: Executed task plans and coordinated the GUI interface. 

• GUI Agent: Performed human-like actions (mouse clicks, typing) in legacy systems. 

AgentRAI was integrated with Amazon Comprehend for input/output sentiment and content safety analysis, and Amazon SageMaker Clarify for bias and explainability. Amazon CloudWatch Logs and AWS X-Ray powered Observability. 

AWS Services Used 

• Amazon SageMaker Clarify: Used to detect model bias and ensure explainability across the model lifecycle. 

• Amazon Comprehend: Analyzed incoming and outgoing content to identify harmful language or manipulative instructions. 

• Amazon CloudWatch: Monitored system events and safety interventions. 

• AWS X-Ray: Captured full execution traces of model decisions. 

• AWS Lambda: Automated filtering and escalation processes based on content severity. 

• Amazon S3: Stored safety logs and flagged interaction datasets.

Implementation Details 

• Created Amazon Comprehend pipelines to classify and flag harmful inputs and outputs. 

• Integrated Amazon SageMaker Clarify for bias detection and interpretability. 

• Configured Lambda functions to trigger redaction or escalation based on detection severity. 

• Used CloudWatch to track real-time safety metrics and log safety interventions. 

• Integrated AWS X-Ray for tracing decision execution paths. 

• Created dashboards using Amazon QuickSight to visualize intervention trends and content category breakdowns. 

• Tested sample cases for blocked content and response validation. 

Innovation and Best Practices 

• Input and output stage safety checkpoints using Amazon Comprehend and Lambda automation. 

• Bias detection with SageMaker Clarify across the full model lifecycle. 

• Tracing and metrics collection using CloudWatch and X-Ray. 

• Visualization and insights via Amazon QuickSight dashboards.
