Moveworks agentic AI assistant gives social media company a ridiculously fast help desk

The problem

The social media company's IT team faced communication bottlenecks because employees were not receiving critical updates, creating preventable incidents that pulled IT into firefighting. Available automation options were either rules-based workflows requiring constant maintenance or experimental AI too slow to deliver real impact.

First attempt

Both available automation paths — rules-based workflows and experimental AI — failed to solve the core problem of getting critical information to employees quickly.
