Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
A DeskFerry agent watches for the triggers specific to government Follow-Up, pulls the context it needs from your CRM, inbox, calendar and operational systems, and completes each step with the same rules an experienced operator would apply. AI tracks every conversation and triggers follow-ups at the right time automatically. Teams typically see 100% every lead touched on cadence once the agent is in production. The agent runs on a configurable confidence threshold, escalates edge cases to a human, and writes every action to an audit log you can review at any time.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

Brightlane · anything I can clear up before Friday?
Wanted to circle back on the proposal I sent last Wednesday. No pressure — usually when things go quiet at this stage it's procurement, not the product.
Personalized using LinkedIn activity from the last 30 days.
Human in the loop
Approve before it sends.
Every draft lands in a review queue. You approve, edit, or reject — the agent never acts on its own unless you explicitly turn that on for a workflow you trust.
Governance
Every action, with the reasoning attached.
Each step the agent takes is logged with what it did, why it did it, and which app it touched. Audit-ready, so security and compliance can sign off without backfilling.

What happens when the Follow-Up AI agent encounters an edge case in my government workflow?
When the Follow-Up agent encounters a scenario outside its configured rules for government, it escalates to your team with full context — the original request, what was processed, and why it needs review. Nothing gets dropped or mishandled in your government pipeline.

government businesses typically reclaim 10-20 hours per week by automating Follow-Up with DeskFerry. The real-time dashboard tracks tasks completed, errors eliminated, and cost savings so you can measure the exact impact of Follow-Up automation on your government operations.
How does the Follow-Up agent decide when to follow up with Government prospects or customers?
The agent learns optimal follow-up cadence from your historical engagement data and government industry norms. Touchpoints are timed for highest response probability — not arbitrary day-3 / day-7 sequences that get ignored.
