AI Investigation Agent
Flex runs an internal Slack agent that support, operations, and engineering use to debug HSA and FSA payment problems. Given an email, order number, or error string, it traces the transaction across systems and answers in plain English. On high-confidence bugs it opens a pull request for review.

How it works
The workflow the sources report for this implementation.
Payment trace → root-cause hypothesis → proposed code fix as a PR
Where people stay involved
- payment investigation → proposed code fixWork product review · Level 3

Implementation details
unknown
Investigation-to-fix loop; underlying runtime not documented
Not specified
slack
Traces a payment end-to-end across payment systems; can open a PR with a proposed fix when a bug is found
Reported results and limitations
The catalog records what the sources report, with the scope and the denominator of every figure. A qualification below limits the figure it sits under.
Lessons and interpretation
Start where correctness is observable; payment investigation produces artifacts (a trace, a hypothesis, a diff) that can be checked
An ops agent that can prepare a fix (not just a report) closes the loop from investigation to code
