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.

DeskFerry connects natively with wit.ai to handle the full Competitor Monitoring workflow. The AI agent monitors wit.ai events, processes Competitor Monitoring tasks automatically, and writes results back to wit.ai — no copy-pasting or tab-switching required.
How does wit.ai data stay secure during Competitor Monitoring automation?
All data exchanged between wit.ai and DeskFerry during Competitor Monitoring processing is encrypted in transit and at rest. We use OAuth tokens for wit.ai access, never store raw credentials, and maintain full audit logs of every Competitor Monitoring action.
