At Decagon, our focus has always been on making AI agent building truly self-serve for CX teams. Coming off the heels of our Series D raise, that vision remains unchanged: non-technical teams should be able to build, optimize, and scale AI agents without needing to request engineering resources for every update. The best AI agents are built through continuous testing and iteration based on trends across customer interactions.

Today, we're introducing templates for Agent Operating Procedures (AOPs), tools, and Watchtower. These pre-built blueprints provide a new way to discover proven use cases and launch agents faster by starting from what already works. 

Go from blank slate to best practice

AI agents are becoming more capable and complex, but getting started may seem difficult. Templates give teams a streamlined, simpler way for building conversational AI workflows.

Templates enable you to:

• Launch faster with confidence. Start with proven AOPs, tools, and Watchtower use cases instead of building everything from scratch. Every template is based on patterns we've seen drive results across real customer interactions.
• Fully customize to fit your needs. Templates are starting points, not one-size-fits-all solutions. The best results come from adapting templates to your data, users, and goals.‍
• Discover what's possible by learning from others. Templates surface common patterns adopted by leading organizations, so teams can unlock new opportunities with AI agents.

AOP templates: Launch proven AI workflows

AOPs are the workflows that define how your AI agents handle customer interactions from initial greeting to resolution. Based on AOPs launched across various industries, clear patterns emerged in how the most successful teams structure their workflows. 

AOP templates distill those insights into starting points, so you can launch with the best practices of your industry from day one. They allow you to standardize your AI workflows with pre-configured templates for common requests like order tracking, membership cancellations, and routing to live agents. You can launch sophisticated AI workflows in hours and focus your effort on improving your agent rather than building the initial setup.

Tool templates: Connect your tech stack with ease

Building integrations doesn’t have to take weeks of engineering time. Tool templates provide pre-built frameworks for the most common CRM and support actions, reducing engineering bandwidth while ensuring technical teams retain control of core code.

With tool templates, you can elevate customer experiences with agent capabilities like running image analysis for visual troubleshooting and sending lead generation forms that turn support conversations into growth opportunities. When escalation is needed, instant templates for CRM tools like Salesforce and Zendesk ensure human agents receive full conversation context for seamless handoffs.

Watchtower templates: Ready-to-deploy QA and analytics

Watchtower gives you always-on monitoring and quality assurance across every customer conversation, with the flexibility to define custom criteria in natural language and track exactly what matters to your business. With endless possibilities for what you can monitor, Watchtower templates provide a faster path forward by packaging the most valuable QA configurations for you.

Watchtower templates help you maintain quality at scale by automatically evaluating resolution accuracy and detecting mishandled escalations before they impact customer satisfaction. Beyond quality assurance, they surface forward-looking opportunities, such as monitoring user sentiment, identifying friction points, and flagging upsell opportunities when customers express interest in premium features.
