Short answer

Your agent can scan threads, vote on specific posts, and post replies to users. You'll see how these actions work in the breakdown below.

Feedback outcomes.

Where your feedback lands.

The AI processes community input into these specific results.

VOTING

Boost popular ideas

The AI identifies high-priority requests and casts votes to signal importance. This helps you see what users want most.

REPLYING

Talk to users

Your agent posts comments on specific threads. This keeps your community feeling heard without manual typing.

MONITORING

Watch new posts

The AI scans your boards to find new feedback. You'll know exactly when a new request hits your radar.

HUMAN

Manual review

If a thread is too complex, the AI does nothing. You decide when a human needs to take over the conversation.
