FAQ

FAQ

Answers to common questions about using the AI agent.

The AI agent reads messages from the configured Teams channels for the past week, including timestamps and authors. It does not access private data unless explicitly allowed by permissions. You can configure filters to omit certain channels or members. Data is used solely to generate the weekly report and is not retained beyond the reporting cycle.

Access to private channels is governed by your Teams permissions. The AI agent adheres to those permissions and will only summarize content it can legally access. If private data is restricted, you can exclude those channels from the data pull.

The summaries are built from the actual messages and standard AI extraction of decisions and actions. You can review a draft and refine the prompt to improve precision. The output is designed to be concise and context-aware for quick reading.

Yes. You can adjust which fields are highlighted, the tone of the report, and the structure of the per-member summaries. The template can be adapted to align with your organization’s reporting standards.

The agent posts the final report at the start of the workweek, typically Monday morning, so the team sees it as they begin their week. You can adjust the posting time to fit your schedule.

Access is controlled by your Teams and channel permissions. Export options can be added for stakeholders who need external access, while internal visibility remains governed by existing permissions.

No. Data used for the weekly report is isolated to the current reporting cycle and not used to train models unless you opt in. You maintain control over data retention and deletion settings.
