How it runs: Scheduled. An automation runs every weekday at 4pm, posts the copy waiting on approval and saves the approval tracker as a Table. You can also ask Hops any time.
What it does
- Reviews against the brand voice guide. Hops checks tone, word choice and style in the Google Doc against the guide pinned in Space context.
- Explains every edit. Each suggestion comes with the original text, the proposed change and the reason.
- Flags claims that need a source. Stats, comparisons and superlatives are listed so they get backed up before approval.
- Routes to the approver. Hops posts the draft to the approver named in Space context and tracks the status.
- Chases pending approvals. Every weekday afternoon Hops lists which copy is still waiting and who it is waiting on.
Ask Hops
Copy a prompt into any chat with Hops, or mention@Hops in a Space.
