Multi-Assistant Collaboration

Sometimes one assistant isn’t enough. When you’re tackling complex challenges that require diverse expertise—like launching a product that needs both technical and marketing insights, or solving a customer issue that spans support and sales—Envole lets you bring the right specialists together in one seamless conversation. The magic of multi-assistant collaboration is its simplicity: just @-mention the assistants you need, and Envole coordinates everything behind the scenes to deliver comprehensive, well-rounded responses.

​

Why Collaborate with Multiple Assistants?

Get Diverse Perspectives: Different assistants bring specialized knowledge and unique viewpoints to your challenges, ensuring you don’t miss important considerations. Save Time: Instead of having separate conversations with different assistants and manually combining their insights, get everything you need in one comprehensive response. Improve Quality: Multiple perspectives often lead to better solutions, catching potential issues or opportunities that a single viewpoint might miss. Ensure Completeness: Complex projects benefit from cross-functional input—collaboration ensures all aspects are covered.

​

How Multi-Assistant Collaboration Works

​

Step 1: Discover Available Assistants

When you’re in any conversation, simply type the @ symbol to see all the assistants available in your organization. What you’ll see:

• Your Team Personal Assistant (always available)
• Sub-Assistants created by your team
• Published assistants from other teams
• Specialized assistants for different functions (sales, marketing, engineering, etc.)

Each assistant has a clear name that indicates their specialization, making it easy to choose the right expertise for your request.

​

Step 2: Mention Multiple Assistants Naturally

Write your request in natural language and @-mention the assistants whose expertise you need. There’s no special syntax to remember—just communicate as you normally would. Example scenarios:

• “@sales-assistant @marketing-assistant help me create a go-to-market strategy for our new feature”
• “@engineering-assistant @product-assistant review this technical specification and suggest improvements”
• “@support-assistant @billing-assistant help resolve this customer’s payment and service issue”

​

Step 3: Automatic Coordination

Once Envole detects multiple assistant mentions, it automatically initiates the collaboration process. The system:

• Ensures all assistants understand the full context
• Coordinates their responses to complement each other
• Manages the conversation flow
• Presents a unified, comprehensive response

You don’t need to manage anything—just wait for the collaborative response.

​

Step 4: Receive Comprehensive Insights

The result is a response that combines specialized expertise from all mentioned assistants. You’ll see:

• Clear attribution: Which assistant contributed which insights
• Complementary perspectives: How different viewpoints address your request
• Unified recommendations: Coordinated advice that works together
• Follow-up coordination: Your primary assistant often synthesizes everything into actionable next steps

When to Use Multi-Assistant Collaboration

Cross-Functional Projects: When your task requires input from multiple departments or specializations. Complex Problem-Solving: When challenges need diverse types of expertise to solve effectively.

Risk Assessment: When you want different viewpoints to identify potential issues or opportunities. Learning and Exploration: When entering unfamiliar territory and needing to understand various aspects of a topic.

​

Best Practices for Effective Collaboration

​

Be Specific About Your Needs

Instead of vague requests, provide context about what you’re trying to achieve:

• ❌ “Help me with this project”
• ✅ “Help me create a customer onboarding process that reduces support tickets while improving user satisfaction”

​

Choose the Right Mix of Assistants

Think strategically about what types of expertise your request requires:

• For product decisions: Product + Engineering + Design
• For customer issues: Support + Sales + Product
• For content creation: Content + Brand + Marketing
• For process improvement: Operations + relevant functional teams

​

Provide Relevant Context

The more context you share, the better assistants can tailor their collaborative response:

• Share relevant documents, links, or background information
• Mention constraints, deadlines, or specific requirements
• Explain the broader goal, not just the immediate task

​

Ask Follow-Up Questions

If the collaborative response raises new questions or you need deeper insight:

• Continue the conversation naturally
• Mention additional assistants if new expertise is needed
• Ask for clarification on specific aspects

​

Collaboration vs. Individual Assistance

Use individual assistants when:

• You need focused expertise in one area
• The task is straightforward and doesn’t require multiple perspectives
• You’re iterating on work within a single domain

Use multi-assistant collaboration when:

• Your challenge spans multiple disciplines
• You need comprehensive coverage of a complex topic
• You want to validate ideas across different functional areas
• You’re planning something that affects multiple teams
