AI agent for community managers
Unanswered Question Routing Agent
Make sure every member question gets a good answer
What it does
Unanswered questions hurt member trust and make a community feel empty. Every four hours this agent finds questions that have had no reply after the set time. For each, it searches past threads and documentation for an answer and drafts a reply with links. If no answer exists, it finds members or staff who know the topic and asks them to help. Replies that state a company position, such as a roadmap or policy, need the community manager's approval before posting. The agent then checks whether the question was answered within 24 hours. If not, it escalates the question to the community manager with what it already tried. Edge case: a question that turns out to describe a product bug is routed to support with the thread link, instead of being answered in the community.
How it works
