AI agent for internal communications managers
Town Hall Question Triage Agent
Give leaders a short, themed question list with sourced draft answers and clear flags.
What it does
Before and during an all-hands, hundreds of questions arrive and leaders only see the top voted ones. This agent collects questions from your Q&A tool and the pre-event form, merges duplicates, and groups them into themes. For each theme it searches the intranet, FAQ and past town hall answers, then drafts a suggested answer with its source. If it finds no source, or the question is about layoffs, pay or legal matters, it flags the question for a leader instead of drafting. It rechecks the list as new questions come in live. You and the leader approve the final list and every answer. Edge case: ten people ask about the same reorg rumor in different words, and the agent shows them as one theme with the count.
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.
Read the steps as a list

How it decides
It drafts an answer only when it finds a current source. Sensitive topics and unsupported questions go to a leader. Themes are ranked by number of askers, not votes alone.
- Questions on layoffs, pay, legal or named people always go to a leader
- A theme with 5 or more askers is ranked above single questions
- Sources older than 12 months are marked possibly outdated
- Never draft an answer without a source link
