Where agents help
| Process | What the agent does | Who decides |
|---|---|---|
| Procedure search | Finds the current procedure and names it | Engineer |
| Permit paperwork | Lists missing items in a permit pack | Permit coordinator |
| Incident summaries | Summarises reports for review | Safety lead |
| Supplier certificates | Lists certificates near expiry | Procurement |
| Regulatory report drafts | Drafts sections from approved data | Compliance lead |
Example in action
An engineer asks for the isolation procedure for a site. The agent finds the document, names it, and the engineer checks it is current.
This is an example of how Hivelock could be used, not a customer story. Check results with your own data before relying on them.
What to be careful about
Do not connect agents to operational control systems. Safety decisions stay with qualified people, and answers must be checked against the source.

Common questions
Can agents control equipment?
They should not. Keep agents away from operational technology and control systems.
