FAQ
Can the agent handle content moderation?
The agent manages workflow and routing, not content judgment. Editorial decisions and NMC compliance review remain with your editorial and legal teams.

Yes. Event production teams use the agent for crew call management, vendor coordination, and real-time schedule updates during event setup and execution.
Can it manage social media posting?
The agent coordinates publishing schedules and routes content for approval. Actual posting happens through your social media management tools after editorial sign-off.
