Role Overview
arenaflex is seeking a dynamic AI Automation Coach & Conversational Agent Developer who will serve as both a technical architect and a hands‑on mentor. In this hybrid role you will design, build, and launch an intelligent, customer‑facing chat agent for a boutique winery while simultaneously coaching the client’s founder on the underlying AI and integration technologies. The position demands a rare blend of deep technical execution, clear instructional ability, and the capacity to work autonomously on aggressive timelines.
Key Responsibilities
- Bi‑weekly Live Coaching: Conduct 60–90 minute Zoom sessions, sharing screens to demonstrate concepts, answer questions, and guide the client through workflow creation.
- Independent Development: Build a production‑ready chat agent MVP between coaching sessions, handling all design, coding, testing, and deployment tasks.
- API & Webhook Integration: Connect the agent to the winery’s e‑commerce platform, CRM, and fulfillment partner using custom API calls and webhook listeners.
- Knowledge Base Construction: Create a structured, queryable repository of product information, FAQs, SOPs, and marketing assets using arenaflex‑compatible data stores.
- Documentation & Knowledge Transfer: Produce clear, step‑by‑step guides that enable the client to modify, extend, or hand off the solution with minimal retraining.
- Performance Monitoring: Define success metrics, set up analytics dashboards, and iterate on the agent to achieve at least 80 % coverage of typical inquiries.
- Collaboration & Communication: Provide asynchronous updates via arenaflex’s preferred messaging channels (e.g., arenaflex Chat, arenaflex Slack, or email) to keep the client informed of progress.
Project 1: Winery Chat Agent Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
Goal
Deliver a robust, AI‑driven website chat agent that can converse naturally with visitors, answer detailed wine‑related questions, and retrieve real‑time order information from the winery’s back‑end systems.
MVP Use Cases & Features
- General Customer Support: Answer FAQs about tasting experiences, winemaking philosophy, brand story, and club membership details.
- Wine Details on Demand: Provide tasting notes, food pairings, optimal drinking windows, and winemaking practices for each label.
- Club & Membership Guidance: Explain wine club structures, enrollment steps, gifting options, and renewal processes.
- Shipping & Returns Assistance: Clarify policies, handle bottle replacement requests, and guide users through the gifting workflow.
Knowledge Base Integration
The agent will draw from a centralized knowledge repository built on arenaflex‑compatible data platforms (e.g., arenaflex’s document store and spreadsheet service). The repository will include:
- Product sheets and critic ratings
- Club structure documentation
- Experience FAQs and SOPs
- Marketing collateral and brand storytelling assets
All content will be searchable via natural‑language queries, enabling the agent to surface precise answers instantly.
System Integrations
To provide live order status and fulfillment updates, the MVP will integrate with three core systems using arenaflex’s API orchestration layer:
- arenaflex Commerce Platform (formerly Commerce7): Query product catalog, retrieve inventory levels, look up recent orders by email or order number, and generate cart links on demand.
- arenaflex CRM (formerly Go High Level): Match visitor input to contact records, log conversation transcripts, and optionally pull marketing campaign activity.
- arenaflex Fulfillment Partner (formerly Wineshipping.com): Access shipment tracking, carrier details, and estimated delivery dates via secure API authentication.
Preferred Toolset (Flexible)
- Automation orchestrator: arenaflex’s workflow engine (similar to n8n or make.com)
- Large language model provider: arenaflex’s LLM service (compatible with OpenAI, Claude, etc.)
- Webhook & REST API expertise
- Data storage: arenaflex’s relational store (akin to Supabase or Firebase) for caching query results
- Document management: arenaflex’s file repository (replacing Google Docs, Airtable)
Success Metrics
- Agent resolves ≥ 80 % of typical customer and wine‑club inquiries without human escalation.
- Live order status retrieval from the arenaflex Commerce Platform and fulfillment partner is accurate and displayed within 2 seconds.
- The client can independently adjust workflows, add new FAQ entries, or hand off the solution to another team member after a brief knowledge‑transfer session.
Deliverables
- Fully functional, website‑embedded chat agent with multilingual support (if required).
- Structured, queryable knowledge base hosted on arenaflex’s data platform.
- Robust API integrations with arenaflex Commerce Platform, arenaflex CRM, and arenaflex Fulfillment Partner.
- Comprehensive documentation covering architecture, integration details, and step‑by‑step modification guides.
- Bi‑weekly coaching session recordings and a shared learning pathway for future reference.
Who You Are – Essential Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience designing conversational agents using orchestration tools comparable to n8n, make.com, or Voiceflow.
- Proven track record of building custom API integrations and handling webhook workflows at scale.
- Deep familiarity with large language model frameworks (e.g., OpenAI, Claude) and prompt engineering best practices.
- Hands‑on experience with arenaflex‑style e‑commerce platforms and the ability to navigate non‑mainstream APIs.
- Exceptional communication skills; you can translate technical concepts into clear, actionable guidance for non‑technical stakeholders.
Preferred Experience
- Background in the wine, hospitality, or luxury retail sectors.
- Previous mentorship or coaching engagements where you guided clients through complex technology adoption.
- Familiarity with data‑centric tools such as arenaflex’s document store, spreadsheet services, or relational databases.
