How it works

Below, we outline the detailed workflow of the agent, from document input to continuous improvement.

1. Step 1: Document Input and Conditional Tokenization

   • Collect copy, creative briefs, PDFs, presentations, and metadata from connected repositories or submitted review forms.
   • Extract text, headings, tables, links, comments, and available accessibility metadata from each asset.
   • Detect language, channel, audience, region, content type, and other attributes that determine which guidelines apply.
   • Preserve document sections and source locations so every finding can be traced back to the original content.

   Result: A normalized, traceable content package is prepared with the applicable brand, legal, accessibility, and regional rules identified.

2. Step 2: Compare Documents for Brand Guidelines

   • Compare messaging, terminology, tone, claims, and formatting against the approved brand knowledge base.
   • Check product names, required disclaimers, prohibited language, accessibility requirements, and regional variations.
   • Distinguish confirmed violations from contextual recommendations and identify potential conflicts between guidelines.
   • Assign severity, confidence, source locations, and supporting guideline references to each finding.

   Result: Every detected deviation is classified with evidence and mapped to the rule or policy that governs the decision.

3. Step 3: Detailed Report Generation

   • Summarize the overall compliance score, approval recommendation, and highest-priority risks for the content owner.
   • Provide rewritten text, claim qualifications, terminology corrections, and accessibility recommendations where appropriate.
   • Group findings by asset section, guideline category, severity, and responsible reviewer.
   • Generate an auditable report with source excerpts, guideline citations, remediation actions, and review status.

   Result: Content owners receive a prioritized, actionable review report that supports faster correction and informed approval.

4. Step 4: Continuous Improvement Through Human Feedback

   • Capture reviewer approvals, rejected recommendations, accepted exceptions, and final edited language.
   • Route unresolved high-risk findings to legal, accessibility, regional, or brand owners for human disposition.
   • Track recurring violations, false positives, turnaround times, and acceptance rates by team and channel.
   • Update governed rule mappings and recommendation patterns only after authorized feedback is reviewed.

   Result: The guardrail process becomes more accurate and relevant over time while retaining human control and a complete decision history.
