ACH dispute return recommendation AI agent
The AI agent guides the human agent through a structured decision-making process to determine the best action for an ACH dispute return task. The ACH dispute return recommendation AI agent analyzes disputed transactions based on merchant analysis and Nacha eligibility. The agent recommends actions based on historical data, and applies predefined rules when data is limited.
Workflow
The AI agent helps the human agent decide how to resolve an ACH dispute return task.
- Look up the ACH dispute task and display the case, transaction, customer, dispute amount, and reason code.
- Check historical records for similar disputes with the same reason code and outcome.
- Determine a recommended action — deny, file a return, or follow up with the ODFI — based on the merchant analysis and NACHA operating guidelines findings, using historical patterns when enough exist.
- Present the recommendation and its supporting rationale, then ask the human agent to confirm or disagree.
- If the human agent disagrees, let them choose an alternative action and provide a reason for the change.
- Record the final action and reasoning on the dispute task.
- Close the conversation once the task is updated.
