Cresta says Deputy Agent retains workflow progress while waiting for documents or approvals. The launch shifts attention from answering a customer to completing the work their request triggers.

What changes for users

For a support operations pilot, test one refund across two contacts: pause for a missing receipt, supply it later, require approval and check the payment result. Ask what prevents duplicate payments after a retry and who owns a stalled case. The announcement alone does not answer those operational questions.

Announced October 13, Deputy Agent targets customer operations such as refunds and disputes. Cresta says work can begin during a call, arrive through a handoff or start in a back-office queue. Teams set approval rules and can inspect actions in an audit trail.

Vendor-reportedChecked: [launch][workflow]

The key distinction in Cresta’s walkthrough is saved case state: a later conversation can add missing information to an existing dispute. Its refund example also separates requesting a payment from verifying that it succeeded. Those are described capabilities, not results of our testing.

The public product page offers a demo. The reviewed launch materials do not specify prices, rollout regions or which customers can enable Deputy now; the announcement does not establish universal availability.

Original source excerpt. This shows what the source says; it does not establish product performance.

Submitting a refund, for example, isn’t the same as confirming that payment succeeded.
