Challenge

The company needed to classify customer intent across a high volume of conversations without the latency and cost of sending every interaction to an LLM. Business teams also depended on engineers and analysts to answer questions about churn, retention, and agent performance, slowing access to customer insights.

Solution

Hybrid Intent Classification

Toptal architected an Airflow pipeline that used BERT and unsupervised clustering for routine intent classification, routing only ambiguous interactions to an LLM to maintain precision without incurring unnecessary inference costs.

Self-service Data Analysis

After benchmarking multiple AI frameworks and models, Toptal built an Agno database agent that translated natural-language business questions into SQL, giving nontechnical teams direct access to complex conversation data.

Outcome

Faster, Lower-cost Processing

The hybrid architecture maintained high classification precision and throughput while reducing inference costs by reserving LLM processing for interactions that actually required it.

Direct Business Insights

Business and operations teams could query retention, churn, service quality, and agent performance in natural language, eliminating their reliance on engineers for routine data requests.
