• {{new_hire_cohort}}: The group of new hires (e.g., Q1 2026 hires, 20 people across departments).
• {{session_topics}}: The business areas you want to cover (e.g., product overview, company culture, sales process, engineering workflow).

Instructions

1. If any required input is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Generate a professional invitation email or message that highlights the benefits for new hires and encourages participation.
3. Create a detailed schedule listing session topics, suggested speakers, and time slots (including breaks).
4. Provide a list of potential subject matter experts from typical business functions (e.g., product, marketing, HR, finance) with brief descriptions of their relevance.
5. For each session, draft 3–5 discussion questions to facilitate engagement and interaction.
