Account-recovery to preserve cycle history
She is locked out and one tap from starting over — the agent recovers her old account so the years of cycle history that power her predictions don't vanish.
What it does
When a femtech user can't log back in, the easy path is to create a fresh account, and that quietly destroys the thing the product is built on. Cycle predictions, phase insights, and trend reads all depend on months and years of logged history, and a duplicate account starts that clock from scratch — so the user lands back in a worse, less accurate app and the provider carries an orphaned record and a churn risk it can't see. Instead of letting a stuck login become a silent restart, the agent recognizes the recovery moment, verifies identity securely inside the chat, and walks her back into her original account with her history intact.
How it works
- 1Trigger. a login-trouble signal — a failed sign-in, a "can't access my account" message in chat, or the user beginning a fresh sign-up on a device that already matches an existing record.
- 2Decision. the agent checks for a likely existing account behind the attempt, recognizes the duplicate-creation risk, and routes into secure identity verification rather than waving her toward a new signup.
- 3Action. it runs a secure in-chat verification step (a one-time code or token-based check handled by the app backend, never credentials typed to the agent), confirms the match, and restores access to the original account with its full logged history.
- 4Follow-through. the recovery and its outcome write back so the duplicate is prevented before it is created; an unverifiable or higher-risk case is handed to a human support agent with context rather than force-resolved, and a sensitive-data or security concern routes to the right team.
Configuration
How the agent is wired for this use case.
- App backend · check for an existing account behind the attempt, run the secure verification, and restore access to the original record
- Identity/auth system · issue and validate a one-time code or token-based verification; credentials are never typed to the agent
- Memory store · recognize the recovery context and write the outcome back so the duplicate is prevented, not just merged later
- Messaging channel · run the recovery conversation in chat or in-app and confirm restored access
- Knowledge base · ground the recovery steps and the "why your history matters" explanation
What you need
The inputs this use case runs on. Your channels stay yours; the agent supplies the judgment.
Signals
failed-sign-in and account-access-request events, plus a duplicate-signup-risk signal when a new registration matches an existing record
Data
existing-account lookup keyed to a verifiable identifier, verification state from the auth system, consent state, and memory of the recovery attempt
Guardrails
secure identity verification before any restore; raw credentials never handled by the agent; escalate on failed verification or takeover risk; sensitive-data handling and regional privacy limits; a human owns the final access decision on ambiguous cases
Metrics it moves
- activation-rateup, because a locked-out user is recovered into a working account instead of restarting cold in a degraded one
- churndown, as the longitudinal history that makes predictions accurate (and the app worth keeping) is preserved through the lockout
- csatup, since "I almost lost everything" becomes a one-conversation recovery instead of a support ticket and a fresh start
