See DeskFerry automate follow-ups
A live look at the agent doing the work — not a feature list.
Proposal I sent Acme last week has gone quiet — follow up.
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.

Why DeskFerry is better for follow-ups
Re: DeskFerry proposal — anything I can clarify?
Prepared and waiting on your approval
Outside the agent's confidence — your call
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.
