# Overview

Policy Automation templates in GLIK are designed to enforce and operationalize internal business rules and governance standards through intelligent agents. These templates enable organizations to ensure that policies are applied consistently, efficiently, and with audit-ready traceability—without requiring manual intervention at every step.

<figure><img src="/files/Cuqj2oiyEGtstmBiRgEO" alt=""><figcaption><p>Example GLIK Studio setup for policy logic binding. Agents ingest uploaded or memory-stored policy rules and dynamically apply them to structured inputs using scoped variables and knowledge-aware retrieval.</p></figcaption></figure>

GLIK’s Policy Automation agents analyze uploaded files, form data, or system variables against defined rulesets such as:

* Expense thresholds
* Overtime regulations
* Procurement restrictions
* Compliance checklists

These workflows are built to mirror how policy evaluation occurs within enterprise systems such as SAP, Workday, or ServiceNow—while leveraging LLM-based reasoning and memory for flexibility and adaptability.
