Where every issue lands.

The AI routes your requests to these specific results.

VALIDATION

Confirmed access

The AI checks if a key is legitimate and active. You get an immediate answer on whether the user has access.

STATUS

Updated activation

The agent flips the switch on license status. You can turn access on or off instantly.

INVENTORY

Key retrieval

Your AI pulls specific key data or lists all available licenses. This helps you find exactly what you need.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

If a key is invalid or a refund is needed, the AI flags the issue. You'll need to handle billing or policy disputes yourself.
