Use Cases & Patterns
This section bridges the gap between what the Ema Builder Platform can do and how to apply it to real problems. While Core Concepts explains the platform's building blocks and Builder Guides teaches you how to construct workflows, this section shows you how those capabilities come together to solve specific categories of business problems.
What Is a Pattern?
A pattern is a repeatable approach to solving a class of problems on the Ema platform. Unlike templates, which are ready-to-deploy configurations, patterns describe the underlying workflow structures, agent combinations, and data strategies that make those configurations work.
Use Cases
| Use Case | Description |
|---|---|
| Customer Support & Engagement | AI Employees for customer Q&A, agent assist, and knowledge base auditing. |
| Sales Development & Outreach | SDR automation, prospecting workflows, and email sequence generation. |
| Talent Acquisition & Recruitment | Candidate discovery, resume scoring, and automated outreach. |
| HR & Employee Service | Policy Q&A, IT support triage, and internal workflow automation. |
| Document Processing & Extraction | Contract evaluation, claims intake, and structured data extraction from documents. |
| Healthcare & Compliance | Prior authorization, clinical document processing, and eligibility determination. |
| Analytics & Insights | Voice of customer analysis, sentiment trends, and feedback processing at scale. |
| Voice AI | Inbound and outbound voice interactions, IVR replacement, and phone-based customer engagement. |
| Custom Code Patterns | Extending workflows with custom logic using the Custom Code Agent. |
