Most teams don’t suffer from a lack of data. They suffer because the path to that data is slow: dashboards, spreadsheets, custom reports, Slack messages, and internal tools that all require different interfaces.
A simple question like “Which deals are stalled?” can take 5–10 minutes of navigation.
A simple action like “Reassign this deal and remind the rep” happens across 2–3 systems.
Worqlo tries to remove that friction by adding a conversational layer on top of enterprise workflows. Users ask questions in plain language, and Worqlo turns them into safe, deterministic actions across CRMs and internal tools.
This post breaks down what Worqlo is for engineers, how it works under the hood, and why this model is becoming more practical than UI-driven workflows.
The Problem: Too Many Surfaces, Not Enough Flow
Enterprise work is fragmented because every tool has its own UI. Engineers end up building:
- custom dashboard filters
- internal mini-tools
- reporting scripts
- API wrappers
- one-off workflow automations
All of it solves the same root issue:
- Users want fast answers and actions without navigating tools.
- But UIs aren’t going away — they’re just not always the fastest interface.
What Worqlo Does
Worqlo gives users a single interface: a conversation.
You ask something like:
“Show this week’s pipeline for DACH.”
Worqlo handles:
- Schema lookup
- API calls to CRM
- Aggregation
- Data shaping
- Permissions checks
- Consistent formatting
Then you follow up:
“Reassign the Lufthansa opportunity to Julia and remind Alex to follow up today.”
Worqlo executes:
- validated CRM update
- notification via Slack or email
- audit log entry
- confirmation to the user
Natural language in, deterministic workflow out.
Why This Isn’t Just “LLM + API Calls”
Worqlo uses an LLM for intent, not execution.
Execution happens through:
- structured workflow templates
- strict schema validation
- role-based access
- pre-configured connectors
- safe parameter mapping
- auditable logs
This avoids typical failure cases:
- hallucinated fields
- invalid API calls
- unsafe actions
- inconsistent output
The LLM decides what the user wants.
The workflow engine decides how it’s safely executed.
High-Level Architecture
1 Conversational Layer
Handles the user query, session context, follow-ups, and identity.
The LLM’s job is to classify intent and extract structured parameters.
2 Intent Router
Maps the structured intent to a valid workflow template.
Example: “Who’s behind quota?” → Sales Performance Query Workflow.
3 Workflow Engine
Executes actions step-by-step:
- call CRM endpoint
- aggregate metrics
- perform rule checks
- trigger a message
- write audit log
Everything is deterministic and replayable.
4 Connector Layer
Abstracts third-party systems:
- Salesforce / HubSpot / Zoho CRMs
- Internal APIs
- ERPs
- Messaging tools (Slack, email)
- BI sources
Connectors handle field validation, permissions, and predictable formatting.
Why Engineers Care
1 No more ad-hoc reporting
Users can pull their own data through natural language.
2 Fewer internal tools
Instead of building custom dashboards or UI widgets, engineers expose functions through a conversational interface.
3 Predictable execution
Workflows are rule-based and versioned.
4 Easy to extend
Adding a new system is a connector/scheme problem, not a UI problem.
5 Less operational overhead
Fewer requests like “Can you create a custom filter?” or “Can you export last week’s data?”
Why Sales Is the First Use Case
Worqlo’s MVP focuses on Chief Sales Officers because:
- CRM data is already structured
- Sales operates at high velocity
- Actions repeat (nudges, reassignments, follow-ups)
- Decisions depend on real-time context
Sales is the fastest way to prove the model works.
What Comes After Sales
Once the conversational + deterministic workflow model is stable, it expands easily to:
- Finance (invoice status, approvals)
- Marketing (campaign performance)
- Operations (task routing)
- HR (employee lifecycle actions)
The architecture stays the same — only the workflow templates and connectors change.
Why Conversation Actually Works
People think in questions, not in filters or dashboards.
Conversation:
- is flexible
- supports multi-turn reasoning
- matches how decisions are made
- surfaces insight and action in one place
- reduces UI surface area
Worqlo uses conversation as the input layer and workflows as the execution layer.
It’s the bridge between human intent and system execution.
