Hey all — we have put together an early prototype of how external agents show up inside Front, and we'd love your feedback before we lock scope.

I recorded a short walkthrough (6 min) so you can watch async on your own time:

🎥 Video LinkPasscode: !e6jPNn?

 

The video covers three things:

  1. Setting up an AI teammate — connecting your external agent to Front
  2. A live conversation — your agent picks up a conversation, drafts a reply, and asks a human a question
  3. The AI Command Center — where your agent's performance is measured and improvements are flagged

What we need from you — reply with the question number so we can follow the thread easily:

  1. In the setup flow shown, is anything missing or confusing for how you'd connect your agent?
  2. Looking at the conversation demo — does the way the agent drafts and hands off to a human match how you'd want it to work?
  3. How are you monitoring and governing your agents today, and what key quality/performance metrics do you track?
  4. What's the most impactful issue you've found and fix you've made to one of your agents?
  5. If Front surfaced diagnostic and improvement opportunities for your agent, would you be willing to share reasoning traces — sources used, reply failures — via Front's MCP?

If it's easier to talk live, drop a comment and we will add you to the recruitment list for future research sessions. Thanks 🙏

  1. In the setup flow shown, is anything missing or confusing for how you'd connect your agent? - No, I’ve never built an agent like this, but as a person that lacks experience, the process looks straightforward.
  2. Looking at the conversation demo — does the way the agent drafts and hands off to a human match how you'd want it to work? - Yes
  3. How are you monitoring and governing your agents today, and what key quality/performance metrics do you track? - Metrics I anticipate I would track if I had an agent like this would be accuracy of the response, first response time, time to resolution
  4. What's the most impactful issue you've found and fix you've made to one of your agents? - N/A
  5. If Front surfaced diagnostic and improvement opportunities for your agent, would you be willing to share reasoning traces — sources used, reply failures — via Front's MCP? - I anticipate yes
