The AI colleague internal communicators have been waiting for
When the admin load disappears, internal communication gets strategic again. Less chasing. More clarity. Better outcomes.
The quiet tax that drains comms teams
Creativity isn't the problem. Coordination is. You're buried under planning spreadsheets, approval chases, scattered feedback, and channel formatting that eats your week.
That's not strategy. That's project management disguised as comms work. The result: the work that needs your judgment keeps getting pushed aside by the work that needs your time.
Most AI tools miss the real problem
Drafting assistants help you write faster, then leave you to herd approvals and rebuild context between tools. They treat comms like content production. Internal communication is a coordination sport.
A writing assistant gives you words. An AI colleague runs the workflow.
Meet Comms AI: the colleague that handles the admin layer
Comms AI, built into the Simpplr platform, is an intelligent workspace for planning campaigns, drafting content, managing approvals, and publishing across channels. Not a chatbot you prompt one task at a time - a consistent teammate that keeps work moving.
It doesn't replace your judgment. It executes within the guardrails you set, using approved data and workflows. You stay in control of strategy and sign-off. The busywork gets handled.
How it works across your entire workflow
Planning
- Drop in notes from a planning meeting or describe the goal. The AI maps audiences, channels, timing, and owners automatically.
- Everything lives in one workspace so the team sees what's coming, who owns what, and how campaigns line up.
Creation
- Comms AI learns your organizational voice - the CEO's tone, HR's policy style, and how different teams speak.
- Drafts align to the sender, the channel, and the moment. Suggestions reflect the campaign plan and audience context.
Coordination
- Approvals happen in the workspace - no email hunts, no lost threads.
- Feedback is visible, version control is automatic, and sign-offs are clear.
Publishing
- Once approved, schedule distribution across your intranet, email, Slack, and Teams from one place.
- Formatting and timing are optimized per channel. One setup. Consistent delivery.
The key difference: everything connects. Planning flows into drafting. Drafting flows into approvals. Approvals flow into publishing. You're not rebuilding context at every handoff.
What changes for PR and comms teams
You get time back for the work only humans can do - reading the room, aligning leaders, shaping narratives, protecting trust, and making smart trade-offs. Admin overhead stops setting your pace.
The floor rises: routine work becomes faster and more consistent. The ceiling rises: complex campaigns get the thinking and execution they deserve because you're not stuck in logistics.
Guardrails, trust, and control
- Your rules: You define audiences, tone guidance, approval paths, and publishing standards.
- Your data: The system works within approved content sources and workflows.
- Your call: You approve messaging and make the final decisions when nuance matters.
Trust is the currency of internal communication. Consistency and clarity help you earn it. If you need a reminder of why that matters, the Edelman Trust Barometer keeps proving it every year.
Signals that you're ready for an AI colleague
- Campaigns slip because of approvals, not ideas.
- Content sounds off-brand depending on who drafts it.
- You rebuild the same plan in four different tools.
- Leaders want comms as a strategic partner, but your calendar is consumed by coordination.
What this looks like in practice
- Leadership update: You load key points. Comms AI drafts versions for email, Slack, and the intranet in the CEO's voice, routes to the chief of staff, tracks edits, and schedules the rollout.
- Policy change: You set the narrative and FAQs. The system adapts tone for HR, managers, and frontline teams, tags impacted audiences, and ensures translations and timing are correct.
- Company initiative: You map desired outcomes. Comms AI proposes a multi-week plan, aligns channel cadence, surfaces dependencies, and keeps the team on track without another spreadsheet.
What you'll notice in the first 30 days
- Less context switching between docs, chats, and task boards.
- Cleaner feedback loops and fewer last-minute rewrites.
- Sharper messaging because you have time to think, not just react.
- Leaders see comms as a force multiplier, not a bottleneck.
Make the shift
