01
Order lookup inside ChatGPT
Natural-language lookup returns a structured order view with status, shipping details, totals, and expandable items.
Product Artifact / Live prototype
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.
Designed to explore how AI agents can safely operate within enterprise workflows.

- Environment
- Simulated OMS data
- Workflow scope
- Lookup + cancellation
- Design priority
- Trust and control
The prototype uses mock order data so the workflow can be explored without exposing PII.
Focused on two concrete OMS jobs where guardrails and user confirmation matter.
Reasoning, confirmation, and clear user control were treated as first-class product requirements.

Product overview
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.
- 01Retrieve order details through natural language
- 02Execute order cancellations with confirmation and safeguards
- 03Provide transparent reasoning behind actions
- 04Maintain 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.
02
Cancellation with guardrails
The confirmation state makes the risk explicit, requires a deliberate phrase, and keeps the user in control before submission.
03
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.
- 01Evaluated SSO integration for secure user access
- 02Defined PII-safe interaction patterns
- 03Built an internal MCP server to support agent workflows
- 04Explored a production-oriented architecture using Java for team alignment and a Python wrapper for the Agents SDK
Builder signal
What this proves
- 01AI can operate within enterprise constraints when designed intentionally
- 02Prototypes can unlock faster alignment than strategy documents alone
- 03Product leaders can de-risk platform investments through hands-on builds
Scope note
Notes on the prototype
- 01Uses simulated data to respect the sensitivity of OMS systems
- 02Represents a functional concept rather than a production deployment
- 03Focused on validating interaction patterns, not replacing existing systems
