Innovation Idea Intake and Triage Agent

Ideas come in through email, a form, chat and workshops, and the innovation manager spends weeks sorting. This agent collects ideas from every channel and merges duplicates. It checks each idea against the strategy criteria and the list of existing projects, and asks submitters for missing detail, such as the customer problem or the first test. It scores and groups the ideas for the review panel and tells each submitter the status in plain words. If an idea is thin after one question, it is parked with a reason. It checks that no submitter has waited over two weeks without an update. The innovation lead approves the shortlist and every rejection note. Edge case: an idea that matches a running project is sent to that project's team instead.
