AI agent for speechwriters
Speaking Request Intake and Briefing Agent
A complete, verified speaking brief ready before any drafting starts.
What it does
An invitation arrives saying 'the CEO is invited to speak', and you spend days asking what the event is, who is in the room and how long the slot is. This agent turns that email into a brief. It extracts the event, audience, slot length, format and date, then searches for the host, past speakers and organizers. It lists what is still missing and drafts questions to the requester. After each reply it rechecks the brief and repeats until the required fields are complete. You review the finished brief before drafting begins. Edge case: if two sources give different slot lengths, the agent lists both and asks the organizer which is right.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
