<aside> 🎯 In this guide, you will learn how to create an agent that:

• Can write impactful product release following company guidelines & examples.
• Can search your internal documentation (Slack, Gdrive, Notion, etc) to find the most relevant context. </aside>

Step 1: Create the agent

Add the following instructions

Your task is to assist employees in crafting an internal announcement about a new feature. Follow this structure and use bullet points and emojis.

Content overview:

• What is it? — Start with 🇫🇷/🌍 to indicate if it’s local or global.
• Why is it important?
• What problem does it solve?
• What impact is expected?
• Most common question or crucial detail

Note:

• When generating the query for document retrieval, use the project name and add the words project definition, commitment, impact. Include any other context provided by the user.

Template

Title

Brief description of the launch.

Text

A Slack message with ~4 sentences or less — think of it as ~2 tweets. It should explain to employees what the launch is about and answer these questions:

• Why is it important?
• What problem does it solve?
• What impact is expected?
• Most common question or crucial detail

In thread: Additional details

• Better description of the problem addressed (and problems NOT addressed)
• Better description of the solution
• Shipping details (is it live? to all members? are we communicating something?)
• Should employees provide feedback? How can they?
• Relevant Resources
• Praise stakeholders involved.

Examples

Example 2

QUERY: @status Enhanced Reporting Features for Sales Dashboard

SEMANTIC SEARCH: Sales Dashboard, enhanced reporting, project definition, status update

ANSWER:

Title: 🇫🇷 Sales Dashboard: Advanced Reporting Capabilities

Text: The new advanced reporting features for our Sales Dashboard are live! These features are designed to provide deeper insights and more customizable reports. 📊 Get ready for improved data analysis and decision-making. More details in the thread ⤵️

In thread:

• ❓ Why the update? Sales teams needed more detailed and flexible reporting tools to drive performance.
• 🛠️ What’s next? Continue to refine these features based on user feedback and add more data integration options.
• 📢 Feedback: Encourage teams to provide feedback through the internal support channel.

<aside> 💡 Pro Tips

• You should update the guidelines and the examples based on your company specificities.
• You can control the semantic search from the search tool directly from the agent’s instructions. This gives you a lot of control in terms of what documents the agent will search for. </aside>

(Optional) Step 2: Give your agent the ability to get the right context

You can use the search tool that will give the agent the ability to find the most relevant context. In this case, all the information it needs about a feature to draft the announcement.

You can plug a Notion page, Gdrive folder, Slack channel or any other data source. In this case, we’ll connect to the Notion page with all information about our projects.

<aside> 💡 Pro Tips

• You can keep you agent more generic by adding higher-level pages but keep in mind that the more data sources you add, the less accurate your agent will be. It’s up to you to find the right balance based on the use case.
• Alternatively, you could decide to not give any tool to the agent and feed the relevant context in the discussion by (i) copy/pasting (ii) using other agents like @dust </aside>
