ai agent operations layer for enterprise iot deployments.

scoped retrieval workflow · n8n + claude + internal doc index · human approval queue
Julian's instinct was to scope down, not scope up. He wired the agent against our enterprise deployment-readiness reviews specifically — retrieval that cites the exact internal documents it draws from, and a routing rule that hands ambiguous answers to the engineer who should see them. What stood out was what he refused to build: no general-purpose assistant, no autonomous customer-facing decisions, no answers without a source. My team uses it every week.
