Explore the workflowBrokerage call coverage by job
Build your AI agent team around the calls your brokerage handles. The Front Desk is the foundation; specialist teammates cover nights, carrier questions, shipper requests, status, routing, overflow, and exceptions. Meet Alex, Jordan, Marcus, Maya, Riley, Sam, Avery, and Morgan: named AI personas with distinct communication styles—not human employees. Their personalities make each role recognizable; your approved intake and handoff rules still govern every workflow.

Read the sample handoffThe agent roster
Start with The Front Desk for intake. Pair The Night Watch with The Escalation Desk for after-hours capture and urgent handoffs, or add The Carrier Desk and The Shipper Desk for caller-specific questions. Each selected role has a defined job; scope, usage, and pricing are confirmed before launch. You are buying an accountable workflow—not a black-box promise.
Warm, welcoming, and organized. Makes the first question easy and keeps intake focused.
Calm and attentive. Separates routine overnight messages from situations your on-call broker needs to review.
Direct, practical, and detail-minded. Gets to equipment, availability, and lane context without unnecessary small talk.
Welcoming and consultative. Asks clear shipment questions and leaves commercial commitments to your broker.
Upbeat and concise. Keeps busy callers moving through the essentials without making them feel rushed.
Precise and measured. Shares only approved information and makes uncertainty explicit instead of guessing.
Methodical and focused. Clarifies ownership so summaries follow the brokerage’s configured routing rules.
Composed and direct under pressure. Captures the exception clearly and flags it for a human decision.
Commercial solution library
Choose the job you need covered, then see how that agent role handles calls, captures freight context, and hands off to your broker. Solo-broker coverage and load inquiries are use cases for existing team roles—not extra agents you need to rent.
