Announcement template
Share what happened and who it is for. Get an announcement that is ready to send.
Nothing sends until you start, and you can change anything afterwards.
What you get
- Text in the chat Copy it wherever you need it. Keep chatting to adjust the tone, length, or wording.
Templates
New hire announcement
- An all-staff email with a subject line, welcoming Sara Lind and her team of nine
- Her open office hours on Thursday, with a slot left for the time
- It left her old employer out, and tells you where to add it
Policy change announcement
- A subject line and three changes in plain lines: flights, hotel limits and the new portal
- Ready to send, with the portal link and a contact left for you to add
- A note on adding the old hotel cap, so the change is clear
Office move announcement
- An email to all 60 staff, laid out by date: crates, working from home and moving day
- A deadline for boxing up desks, which it asks you to check
- A note on the assumption it made about when parking passes are handed out
Reorganization announcement
- A note that opens with the change: one revenue team under Priya Shah from July 1
- It says plainly nobody is losing their job, and that managers will talk to those affected
- States its assumptions about who receives it and who sends it
How it works
- Tell askROI what kind of update you need, who it covers, and the facts to include, pasted as rough notes or bullet points.
- askROI's Write an internal announcement tool picks the matching format and follows it. For a one-off announcement it works out the audience, purpose, and tone from your notes, states any default it assumed, and asks only when a missing fact would make the message wrong.
- Copy the update into Slack, email, or your intranet, or keep chatting to shorten it, change the tone, or add a section.
What people use it for
- Company newsletters a monthly or weekly roundup in the "we" voice, grouped into sections and sized to your company.
- FAQs short question and answer pairs that clear up what people keep asking about.
- Policy and process changes a clear announcement with the most important information first.
- Product update announcements tell the whole company what shipped, who it affects, and what changes for them.
- Incident updates a one-off message that says what happened, who it affected, and what comes next.
Questions
Can it write a weekly team update or a 3P update?
Use the project status report template for that. It covers updates on a project or team, including the Progress, Plans, Problems format, while this tool covers messages for everyone in the company.
Does it ask questions before writing?
Rarely. It uses what you gave, assumes sensible defaults for the audience and tone and states them in one line, and asks only when a missing fact would make the message wrong.
How is this different from the project status report template?
This tool writes for everyone inside the company: announcements, newsletters, FAQs, and incident updates. The status report template reports on one product, project, or team, either as a full status report or as an update for one audience, such as executives, engineers, customers, or a board.
Where do the facts come from?
From what you share in the chat. When you give it the details, askROI mostly shapes and tightens them into the right format, and in an FAQ it says clearly when an answer is uncertain or needs an official response from leadership.
What does it not do?
It writes the update for you to send; it does not post it to Slack or email it for you. It also does not know what happened at your company unless you tell it, so a newsletter is only as complete as the notes you give it.
