Configurable AI Behavior via Global and Use-Case Level Instruction Framework (Conversational Insights+ upcoming Agentic AI features)

With the introduction of the Conversational Insights (AI chat) capability in Targetprocess, we see strong potential for enhancing user productivity and decision support. However, the current implementation is limited to read-only interactions and does not support configuration or controlled behavior.

To enable enterprise-grade adoption and governance, we would like to propose the introduction of a configurable instruction framework that allows administrators and users to guide AI behavior in a structured and predictable manner.

--------------------------------------------

Proposed Capabilities:

Global-Level Instruction Configuration

  • Define organization-wide AI behavior standards, including:
    • Response format and structure
    • Tone and communication style
    • Level of detail and verbosity
  • Ensure consistent and governed AI responses across all users

Use-Case / Context-Specific Instruction Configuration

  • Allow tailored instructions for specific workflows or scenarios
  • Enable guided behavior for defined tasks (e.g., categorization, renaming, reporting)
  • Provide flexibility to adjust AI responses based on context or business need

Future Readiness for Action-Oriented AI (Agentic Capabilities)

  • Establish a foundation for future enhancements where AI can perform actions (e.g., modifying work items, triggering automation)
  • Ensure such capabilities are governed through explicit instruction and control mechanisms

--------------------------------------------

Business Value:

  • Enable controlled and governed AI usage in enterprise environments
  • Improve consistency and reliability of AI-generated responses
  • Support scalable adoption of AI-driven workflows and automation
  • Provide a foundation for future agentic capabilities aligned with business rules and compliance requirements
