12 · Capstone, use case 13: the ops copilot¶

A shared ops inbox receives everything: customer emails, forwarded scam texts, code snippets from PRs, monitoring alerts, how-to questions, and the occasional legal threat. This notebook builds the whole system from the course:

 every item --> (07) input shield --> (13) Jev DISPATCHER: which desk? how urgent? needs a human?

       +------------------------------ ops board, sorted by urgency ----------------------+

Each desk is a condensed version of its notebook, so the same questions and the same fast/slow split carry over. The dispatcher is a Choice whose options have descriptions, which is the supervisor pattern from the original repo's notebook 11, with Jev doing the routing.

Recap: the whole course in one system¶

Decision point	Where you saw it	Here
Input shield (regex + Jev, fail closed)	07	every item, before dispatch
Dispatcher / router (Choice + confidence fallback)	03, 08	the desk and the human queue
Classify-then-act (Jev decides, the LLM writes)	04, 05	email and scam desks
Map-reduce (Jev on every chunk, LLM on the hits)	06	security desk
Policy as Choice criteria, consequences in code	09	on-call desk
Relevance filter before generation	10	docs desk
Judge / gate	11	measure the dispatcher (section 6)

The pattern to take away: put Jev (the fast brain) on the thousands of small decisions, put the LLM (the slow brain) on the few things that need language, keep hard rules and arithmetic in code, and measure everything.

Where to go from here:

• app.py puts these use cases behind a click-through UI: uv run --extra ui python app.py
• jobs/email_triage.py is the email job for cron: uv run python jobs/email_triage.py --draft-replies
• Swap in your own data: your inbox, your logs, your repo, your runbooks. The questions are the only thing you need to rewrite.
