Workshop launches Ask Devin, a human-led advice column for internal communicators who need more than a chatbot

Workshop, the email-first internal communications platform, announced the launch of Ask Devin, a new advice column designed specifically for internal communicators navigating the messy, nuanced, and very human realities of their work.

Ask Devin isn’t powered by AI or scraped from best-practice blogs. And it’s not copy-and-paste thought leadership, either. Instead, it’s grounded in real experience from someone who’s actually done the work.

It’s powered by Devin, an internal communicator who’s spent years in the work, asking the hard questions, testing what actually works, and learning (sometimes the hard way) how internal comms really functions inside growing organizations.

“Internal communications rarely has a perfect answer. Most of it lives in the gray,” said Devin. “It’s not just what you say, but the judgment behind it — when you say it, where it shows up, and how it really lands with employees. Ask Devin isn’t about getting it right. It’s about perspective, human judgment, and having a place to talk through the messy, nuanced realities of internal comms with people who’ve been there.”

A place for the questions that don’t have clean answers

Ask Devin gives internal communicators a space to submit questions anonymously and receive thoughtful, practical advice rooted in real experience, not theory.

Questions range from tactical (“How do I make my CEO’s all-company update sound less robotic?”) to strategic (“We’re launching a new initiative… where do I even start?”) to deeply human (“How do I know when I’m burned out versus just growing?”).

In its first month, Ask Devin has already answered more than 30 questions from communicators across industries, surfacing recurring themes like AI adoption, channel overload, leadership voice, and burnout — all explored with honesty, nuance, and a healthy dose of humor.

Human advice, not anti-AI

Ask Devin isn’t positioned as a rejection of AI. In fact, Devin uses AI tools every day. The difference is intention.

“AI is great at removing friction,” said Devin. “But judgment, taste, and context still matter. Ask Devin exists to help communicators think through why something should be sent, not just how to write it faster.”

That human perspective makes Ask Devin a natural extension of Workshop’s broader mission: helping internal communicators create clearer, more thoughtful communication and, ultimately, more happy Mondays.

What communicators can expect

With Ask Devin, internal communicators can:

• Submit questions anonymously (and share as much context as they want)
• Explore a growing library of categorized Q&As
• Get honest, practical advice grounded in real-world experience
• Receive a monthly roundup of the most popular questions and answers
• Feel a little less alone doing work that’s often invisible — but deeply impactful
