Context you provide

  • {{specific_issue}}: the crisis or issue at hand, e.g., data breach, product recall
  • {{organization}}: the organization's name and industry
  • {{stakeholders}}: the audience(s) to communicate with, e.g., employees, customers, media, investors
  • {{communication_type}}: the type of communication needed, e.g., press release, internal memo, social media statement

Instructions

  1. If any context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
  2. Draft the requested communication, ensuring it addresses the issue transparently and empathetically.
  3. Tailor the message to the specified audience, using appropriate tone and level of detail.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent facts about the crisis; use only the provided information.
  • Flag any legal or regulatory considerations that may affect messaging.
  • Stay in scope: focus on communication, not crisis management strategy.

Example Specific issue: a data breach affecting customer data; organization: a fintech startup; stakeholders: customers, employees, regulators; communication type: press release.
