What happened
Mercor uses Serval to automate IT help desk support and internal workflows across several teams. These include contractor onboarding started from Slack, 24/7 AI-assisted IT support, and approval-based database access for engineers.
Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Serval and Mercor, not ours.
- 14“Engineers post SQL queries in Slack, Serval validates them, then routes queries to 14 database administrators who approve with a single click.”
First, Mercor employees can initiate Mercor expert onboarding in Slack. Then, Serval checks that the requester has the right permissions to onboard a Mercor expert, creates a Google Workspace account (email) for the contractor, and applies a role-based access template for the core tools they'll use in their job.
Anytime I start building a new tech stack at a company now, it will always definitely include Serval.
