AI Agents & Automation

AI Agents & Automation Services in Pune

Go beyond chatbots. Our AI agents work toward a goal across your CRM, database and business tools, and a person approves anything sensitive.

What is an AI agent?

An AI agent is software that works toward a goal on its own. Unlike a chatbot, which answers questions, an agent decides what steps are needed and carries them out across your systems, such as your CRM, database and ERP, checking its own results as it goes.

This is the shift from conversation to execution. It builds on the chatbot, Salesforce and cloud work we already do for clients.

Three ways to start

Clients differ in budget and readiness, so we offer three clear tiers.

  • Tier 1: Conversational AI

    A chatbot that reads your own documents, so answers are accurate and specific to your business. Best for small businesses, startups and teams new to AI.

    See AI chatbot development
  • Tier 2: AI action agents

    An agent connects to your CRM or database and takes real action, such as enriching a new sales lead or checking a customer's billing record. Best for mid-sized teams with overloaded sales or support.

  • Tier 3: Intelligent automation

    Adaptive AI that handles multi-step processes across several systems, such as reading an invoice, extracting the data and updating two systems. Best for heavy manual data work.

Start with a pilot

Most pilots are scoped and delivered within four to six weeks, starting with one clear, high-value workflow.

  1. Discovery and tool mapping

    We pick one workflow and list the actions the agent needs, such as checking a lead's status or creating a support ticket.

  2. Secure integration

    Those actions are exposed as secure, callable functions inside an isolated environment, so the agent can only do what you allow.

  3. Agent build

    We connect the actions to an AI model, add memory so it can recall past interactions, and add self-checks so a failed step is noticed and retried.

  4. Human-approval workflow

    Sensitive actions such as payments or deleting records wait for a person's approval before they happen.

Safe by design

An agent that can act needs more care than a chatbot. These controls come standard.

  • Each agent runs in an isolated environment, with read-only access to sensitive data unless more is explicitly needed
  • A hard limit on retries and real-time cost monitoring, so a failing task cannot run up usage
  • Strict separation of client data, with no credentials shared between clients
  • Human approval on any sensitive action before it happens

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? Here is what clients usually ask before they start.

What is the difference between a chatbot and an AI agent?

A chatbot answers questions. An AI agent works toward a goal, deciding what steps are needed and carrying them out across your CRM, database and business tools, then checking its own results.

Will this replace tools like UiPath?

In many workflows, yes. Rule-based bots follow fixed steps and can break when a screen or format changes, while our agents read and reason through unstructured data such as emails and invoices. We assess each workflow first, and some stable processes are better left on existing automation.

How long does a pilot take?

Most pilots are scoped and delivered within four to six weeks, starting with one clear, high-value workflow.

What's included in the price?

Discovery and tool mapping, secure integration, agent build and a human-approval workflow, all in one scoped engagement.

Is it safe to let AI take actions in our systems?

Agents run in isolated environments with limited, mostly read-only access to sensitive data, plus retry and cost limits. Sensitive actions such as payments or deleting records need a person's approval first.

Do you still build chatbots?

Yes. Conversational AI is our first tier, so you can start with a chatbot and move up to action agents later.

What do AI agent and automation services include?

AI agent services go beyond chatbots: an agent works toward a goal and takes action across your CRM, database and business tools. SoftTech Cloud Technologies in Pune scopes one high-value workflow, builds the agent with secure integrations and adds a human-approval step for sensitive actions, usually as a pilot delivered in four to six weeks.
