The challenge
Why this problem needed a different architecture
Food donation coordination is fragmented and time-sensitive, requiring matching, communication, and approval across several stakeholders.
The solution
How I approached it
I designed an agentic workflow that captures donation details, evaluates shelter fit, requests approval, and coordinates notifications across operational tools.
Architecture
- Donation intake enters the workflow
- Structured data is stored and evaluated
- An LLM supports matching and communication
- Slack enables human review and approval
- Gmail coordinates outbound communication
Results
- Demonstrates human-in-the-loop agent design
- Connects multiple business tools in one workflow
- Focuses on practical social-impact automation
