Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
A DeskFerry agent connects to the systems your Research & Development stack already runs on, watches for Proposal Generation triggers, and executes the next step automatically — drafting, routing, updating records, and following up without manual handoffs. Generate polished proposals in minutes using AI-powered templates and client data. Teams typically see days → Same-day from brief to client-ready draft once the agent is in production. Setup is no-code, the agent operates inside the rules you define for your Research & Development team, and every decision is logged so leadership can review what was automated and what was escalated.
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.
