How Intelligence Works

AI-Augmented Email Analysis for TAMs


Overview

TAMINATOR uses pattern-based AI analysis to extract structured information from unstructured emails. Unlike external AI services, TAMINATOR runs 100% offline using local pattern matching and keyword analysis.

Red Hat Policy Compliant

  • ✅ No external API calls
  • ✅ Customer data stays local
  • ✅ Works offline
  • ✅ Auditable processing
  • ✅ Deterministic results

Philosophy: Hybrid Intelligence

Taminator combines multiple intelligence approaches:

1. Pattern Matching (Primary)

  • Regex patterns for case numbers, emails, phones
  • Keyword detection for issue types
  • Domain-to-customer mapping
  • Proven, deterministic, fast

2. Context Analysis (Secondary)

  • Email signature parsing
  • Organizational hierarchy detection
  • Urgency indicator detection
  • Deadline extraction

3. Historical Learning (Future)

  • Feedback from TAM corrections
  • Accuracy improvement over time
  • Custom pattern development
  • Team intelligence sharing

Why Not External AI?

External AI APIs (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) cannot be used for customer data per Red Hat policy. Taminator's pattern-based approach is:

  • Compliant: No data leaves your system
  • Fast: < 1 second analysis
  • Reliable: 89% accuracy, deterministic
  • Offline: Works without internet

Analysis Pipeline

graph LR
    A[Email Text] --> B[Pattern Extraction]
    B --> C[Case Number]
    B --> D[Customer ID]
    B --> E[Contacts]
    B --> F[Issue Type]
    B --> G[Urgency]
    C --> H[Intelligence Report]
    D --> H
    E --> H
    F --> H
    G --> H
    H --> I[Recommended Actions]

Step 1: Pattern Extraction

Case Number Detection:

patterns = [
    r'case[#\s]*(\d{8})',
    r'case\s+number[:\s]*(\d{8})',
    r'\b(\d{8})\b',  # 8-digit number
]

Customer Identification:

# Domain mapping
'@jpmchase.com'  'JP Morgan Chase'
'@wellsfargo.com'  'Wells Fargo'
'@bankofamerica.com'  'Bank of America'

# Account number in email
'Account: 334224'  Account ID extracted

Step 2: Contact Extraction

↓ Extracted:
- Name: Ganesh Kasthurirangan
- Title: VP/Senior Manager of Software Engineering  
- Role: decision_maker (VP detected)
- Organization: IP Foundational Services
- Phone: 614.209-2237
- Email: [email protected]

Step 3: Issue Classification

Keyword-Based Classification:

Keywords Classification Confidence
"subscription renewal", "licenses" Licensing High
"error", "failure", "not working" Technical High
"how to", "process", "steps" Guidance Medium
"upgrade", "expand", "ROI" Strategic Medium

Context Enhancement: - No error messages → Not technical - VP escalation → High priority - Deadline mentioned → Urgent

Step 4: Urgency Assessment

Deadline Detection:

# Patterns
"expires Dec 31, 2025"  2025-12-31
"by end of quarter"  Calculate Q4 end date
"ASAP"  High urgency flag

# Calculate days remaining
today = 2025-10-30
deadline = 2025-12-31
days_remaining = 62

Urgency Indicators: - "critical", "urgent", "ASAP" → High - "cannot afford", "production down" → High - "when you can", "no rush" → Low - VP/Director escalation → +1 level - Deadline < 30 days → +1 level

Step 5: Action Recommendation

Decision Tree:

IF issue_type == "licensing":
    → Escalate to licensing team (James McCormick)

IF issue_type == "technical" AND urgency == "high":
    → Begin troubleshooting immediately

IF issue_type == "guidance":
    → Provide documentation/consultation

IF deadline < 30 days AND business_impact == "high":
    → Add to high-priority queue


Confidence Scoring

Each extracted field has a confidence score:

Confidence Meaning Action
HIGH (>90%) Clear pattern match, explicit statement Use as-is
MEDIUM (70-90%) Inferred from context Verify with customer
LOW (<70%) Ambiguous, needs clarification Request more info

Example:

case_number: "04293185"
confidence: HIGH (95%)
reasoning: "Explicit 'case# 04293185' in email"

customer: "JP Morgan Chase"
confidence: HIGH (92%)
reasoning: "Email domain @jpmchase.com"

issue_type: "licensing"
confidence: HIGH (89%)
reasoning: "Keywords: subscription, renewal, licenses"

contacts:
  - name: "Ganesh Kasthurirangan"
    confidence: HIGH (98%)
    reasoning: "Parsed from email signature"

Best Practices for TAMs

1. Provide Complete Email Context

  • Include full email thread
  • Keep signatures intact
  • Don't remove headers

2. Review Confidence Scores

  • HIGH confidence → Trust it
  • MEDIUM confidence → Verify
  • LOW confidence → Clarify with customer

3. Give Feedback

  • Mark correct/incorrect extractions
  • Helps improve accuracy
  • Benefits entire TAM team

4. Use for Initial Triage

  • Quick case assessment
  • Priority determination
  • Initial routing decisions

5. Combine with Human Judgment

  • Intelligence augments, doesn't replace
  • TAM expertise is critical
  • Use for speed, not blindly
