A useful first result
A saved blend-to-bottle schedule, with the gaps and next steps clearly marked.
Example assignment, not a promised delivery time. Your agent works from the records and access you provide. Add connections when you want it to act in other systems.
A conversation at your desk
This example shows an established working setup: the agent already knows the business and has the records and connections listed below. Hand over the assignment and it carries the work through to saved results.
Illustrative project · configured agent at work
A configured agent with orchard bookings, weigh tickets, pressing records, tank sheets, packaging inventory and stockist orders.
A working specialist can handle the project, with a configured team sharing the work where available. This is an example of what you can build up to, not a first-launch conversation. Timing and usage depend on the assignment.
Close the autumn pressing programme and fulfil the first twenty stockist orders. Carry the work through the connected tools and keep the working records and reports current.
Two orchard deliveries changed date and the bottling sheet still references the previous blend. I’m resolving those dependencies and continuing the rest of the programme.
Work in progressKeep the single-orchard bottles separate from the house blend.
The pressing and tank ledger reconciles to actual intake; both bottling runs and all twenty stockist orders are closed with the correct blend identities. Your dashboard and working files reflect the recorded outcomes.
Later · delivery and saved resultsTANK BLEND AND BOTTLING IDENTITY
Bring the orchard delivery and pressing lot and tank blend and bottling identity you already have. Your agent turns them into working records, keeps track of changes and follows the job through.
Your AI agentPrepared for independent cideries
An example record for orchard delivery and pressing lot, tank blend and bottling identity, cider release position, cider cases dispatched.
The useful next step
Prepare blend-to-bottle schedule from the available records. Save the supporting references and mark any missing details so the next step stays clear.
A small tool for a real job
Unassigned pressing loads, blend-version changes, missing bottle labels and short trade deliveries.
Try the numbers, then bring the confirmed brief to your specialist. Start with a reference such as “Job 104”—you do not need to upload your customer database.
Try your own numbers
Planning arithmetic from your inputs. Your specialist can turn the confirmed details into a working brief. This is not a quote or capacity commitment.
The details your specialist follows
Follow each orchard delivery and pressing lot through the working record. The example below shows how references, dependencies and resolutions stay together, so you can trace what changed and what happens next.
Keep an eye on: unassigned pressing loads, blend-version changes, missing bottle labels and short trade deliveries.

Illustrative project figures. Your agent maintains working records in normal Files and Tasks and reports completed work in Teams Dashboards. Ask it to adapt those records and reports as your workflow changes.
From enquiry to a useful next step

Built around the details that matter

Blend-to-bottle schedule. Keep the source details and outstanding dependencies together.
Trade case allocations. Track changes against the same job reference.
Return discrepancy log. Save the outcome and carry the next steps into your working records.
Prepared for your business
Six useful measures, ready in your regular Teams dashboard. Your specialist keeps them up to date from the real work and records it can access. Ask it to change a measure, add a report or investigate what is behind a result.
Recorded total · cases
Actual completed cases in orchard-to-cider batch ledger, recorded once per source job and completion line. Use observed quantities from the source records for cider cases dispatched; planned quantities, duplicate updates and illustrative figures are excluded.
Recorded cases · cases
Completed pressing intake discrepancies resolved cases with the required delivery evidence and follow-up reconciled. Count once per original case identity; reopening does not create another completion.
Recorded cases · cases
Distinct stockist shortages settled cases, with source evidence from the orchard-to-cider batch ledger. Count only cases with documented resolution, once per source issue; messages and reminders are not separate resolutions.
Average · hours
Elapsed hours for final blend release to completed stockist allocation, using actual start and completion timestamps for the same case. Record one duration per completed case; pending work and missing timestamps are excluded.
Observed rate · %
Case lines retaining correct orchard and blend references divided by all assessed cases with a known outcome under the same recorded criterion. Record one met or not_met outcome per case and review window; unassessed or pending cases are excluded.
Observed rate · %
Confirmed cider dispatch dates met divided by completed cases with both a recorded agreed deadline and actual completion time. Keep the promise in force when the work was committed; do not move it retrospectively to turn late work into on-time work. Exclude unknown deadlines and pending cases.
Your reports start empty. Figures reflect observed work in the selected period; missing records are not treated as measured zeroes. Current jobs, schedules and stock stay in your working files and tasks. You and your agent can adapt the dashboard as your business changes.
Keep the tools that already work
Your AI agent starts with the details of your business already in mind. The three workflows are starting points. Ask it for help with another task in the same conversation.
The starting instructions, intake questions and working rules already match independent cideries. Add your service list and one example of your tone when you are ready.
Give your agent an outcome, the access it needs and your budget. It handles routine decisions and follows through in your connected tools, asking when a missing business decision needs you. Set or change your own boundaries whenever you want.
Ask it to compare suppliers, prepare customer updates or analyse recurring issues in your orchard-to-cider batch ledger. It can take on a wider assignment in the same conversation. Give your agent another task in plain language. What it can carry out depends on the tools you connect and the access you choose.
Recommended starting plan
