Product Artifact

OMS ChatGPT App

A prototype ChatGPT App that enables users to interact with Order Management Systems through a conversational interface, handling workflows like order lookup and cancellation with built-in guardrails.

Product overview

What it is

A tangible workflow artifact, not just a concept statement.

A conversational AI interface for Order Management workflows, designed to make common support and operations tasks faster, clearer, and safer to execute.

Problem framing

Why I built it

OMS workflows are often fragmented across multiple tools, slow to execute, and difficult to automate safely because of PII constraints.

At the same time, early AI efforts were typically either standalone experiences or embedded inside existing workflows. There was not yet a clear pattern for AI interacting directly with internal systems through conversation.

This prototype explored that pattern.

Workflow scope

What it does

Focused on a narrow slice of OMS work where trust and control matter.

  • Retrieve order details through natural language
  • Execute order cancellations with confirmation and safeguards
  • Provide transparent reasoning behind actions
  • Maintain user control throughout the interaction

Interaction design

How it works

Built as a custom ChatGPT App, the prototype uses mock OMS data to simulate real workflows without exposing PII. It was designed to live inside the existing AI platform environment employees were already using.

The goal was not just to simulate functionality. It was to design for trust, clarity, and safe execution.

Prototype walkthrough

Live product states

Actual screens from the prototype showing how lookup, confirmation, and completed actions are handled across the workflow.

Public web prototype

The standalone web version makes the core interaction pattern visible outside the ChatGPT shell while preserving the same OMS workflow structure and guardrail logic.

This is the live experience linked from the page.

Order lookup inside ChatGPT

Natural-language lookup returns a structured order view with status, shipping details, totals, and expandable items.

OMS ChatGPT App cancellation confirmation flow inside ChatGPT showing warning text and explicit confirmation controls.

Cancellation with guardrails

The confirmation state makes the risk explicit, requires a deliberate phrase, and keeps the user in control before submission.

Completed state after action

After confirmation, the assistant shows the updated order state clearly instead of hiding the result behind a generic success message.

Strategic takeaway

Why it matters

This prototype introduced a new interaction model: AI acting directly on internal systems through conversation.

It helped shift thinking from AI as a standalone tool toward AI as an active participant in real workflows. Framed carefully, it represented an early example of a new pattern for conversational interaction with internal systems.

Follow-on work

From prototype to real system work

The prototype created alignment to move forward and explore production viability.

  • Evaluated SSO integration for secure user access
  • Defined PII-safe interaction patterns
  • Built an internal MCP server to support agent workflows
  • Explored a production-oriented architecture using Java for team alignment and a Python wrapper for the Agents SDK

Builder signal

What this proves

  • AI can operate within enterprise constraints when designed intentionally
  • Prototypes can unlock faster alignment than strategy documents alone
  • Product leaders can de-risk platform investments through hands-on builds

Scope note

Notes on the prototype

  • Uses simulated data to respect the sensitivity of OMS systems
  • Represents a functional concept rather than a production deployment
  • Focused on validating interaction patterns, not replacing existing systems
