⚡ 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.

📝 Content & ResearchHow 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, efficient2. Interface Type
Choose how users interact:
Conversational
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:
| Visibility | Who Can Access | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Public | Anyone with the link + listed in gallery | Customer-facing processes, community sharing |
| Unlisted | Anyone with the link (not in gallery) | Selective sharing, testing before publishing |
| Private | Only you | Internal workflows, development/testing |
Allow Anonymous: Let anyone run the SOP without logging in (perfect for customer-facing workflows)

💎 Upgrade to BusinessFrequently 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.
Can I edit an SOP after creating it?
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.
Can I share SOPs with my team?
Yes—share the URL with your team. For team collaboration features (editing permissions, shared analytics), check out our Enterprise plans.
