⚡ SOPs: Intelligent Workflow Automation

SOPs (Sophosic™ Operating Protocols) are reusable, AI-powered workflows that guide conversations and actions according to your specific process. Think of them as interactive playbooks where Sophia follows your exact instructions to accomplish tasks.

Sophosic™ Business Feature: Creating and sharing SOPs requires a Sophosic™ Business subscription ($99.99/month). Anyone can run public SOPs for free—no account required!

What are SOPs?

SOPs transform repetitive processes into automated, intelligent conversations. Instead of manually handling the same workflow over and over, you teach Sophia how to do it once, then share it with anyone.

Real-World Use Cases

How SOPs Work

Every SOP has three core components:

1. Instructions (The Brain)

You tell Sophia exactly what to do and how to behave:

You are a friendly plumbing intake specialist. Goal: Gather all details needed to dispatch the right technician. Steps: 1. Greet the customer warmly 2. Ask about the plumbing issue 3. Determine urgency (emergency or scheduled) 4. Get property details (address, access) 5. Provide estimated arrival time 6. Confirm appointment and send confirmation Tone: Professional, reassuring, efficient

2. Interface Type

Choose how users interact:

Conversational SOP

Natural dialogue that adapts to responses:

Best For:

  • Customer support scenarios
  • Complex, multi-step processes
  • Situations requiring clarification
  • Exploratory conversations

Example:

Sophia: Hi! What plumbing issue are you experiencing? Customer: My sink is clogged Sophia: I can help with that. When did you first notice the clog? Customer: This morning Sophia: Got it. Is water backing up completely or draining slowly?

Adapts to each response, asks follow-ups naturally

3. Sharing & Access

Control who can use your SOP:

VisibilityWho Can AccessBest For
PublicAnyone with the link + listed in galleryCustomer-facing processes, community sharing
UnlistedAnyone with the link (not in gallery)Selective sharing, testing before publishing
PrivateOnly youInternal workflows, development/testing

Allow Anonymous: Let anyone run the SOP without logging in (perfect for customer-facing workflows)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do SOPs differ from regular chats with Sophia?

Regular chats are open-ended conversations where you guide Sophia. SOPs are pre-programmed workflows where Sophia follows YOUR specific process automatically. Think: chat = freestyle, SOP = choreographed.

Yes! Edit anytime from your SOPs dashboard. Changes apply immediately—no need to republish or update links.

Do users need a Sophosic account to run my SOP?

Not if you enable “Allow Anonymous”! Your SOP works like a public form—anyone can access it via the link without signing up.

Can I see analytics for my SOPs?

Absolutely! View runs, completion rates, average duration, and conversation transcripts from your SOP analytics dashboard.

How many SOPs can I create?

Unlimited! Sophosic™ Business includes unlimited SOP creation and unlimited runs.
