Integrate Polly with AI Agents

Polly has transformed the way teams gather live feedback by bringing polls, surveys, and quizzes directly into Slack and Microsoft Teams. But even with instant responses, teams often struggle to turn data into decisive action. Enter Runbear’s AI agent—now, your Polly-powered feedback is analyzed, summarized, and put to work automatically inside your communication channels. Discover how bringing together Polly and Runbear elevates your team's collaboration, streamlines daily workflows, and ensures your team's voice is always heard—and acted upon.

About Polly

Polly is an engagement app designed for teams using Slack and Microsoft Teams to gather instant feedback, run polls, send out quizzes, and moderate Q&As—all natively within their communication channels. Its core features enable teams to launch real-time polls or surveys, conduct live Q&A with upvoting, maintain anonymity when needed, and run engaging quizzes for all-hands meetings or team building. Teams adopt Polly to get a pulse on employee sentiment, drive meeting participation, and quickly align around key decisions without leaving their chat workspace. As a market leader in integrated workplace engagement, Polly powers agile feedback cycles for thousands of organizations worldwide, from startups to large enterprises. Its frictionless workflow and real-time insights set it apart as a must-have for modern, collaborative teams.

Use Cases in Practice

Runbear’s AI agent supercharges your Polly experience by automating repetitive steps, generating deeper insights, and surfacing actionable feedback—right inside Slack or Microsoft Teams. Let's look at how these use cases work in action:

Suppose your team runs a weekly Polly engagement poll in Slack. Instead of wading through responses manually, the AI agent instantly summarizes trends and delivers a short findings report—no dashboards to check, no CSV downloads required. Or, imagine launching scheduled pulse surveys for distributed teams; your AI agent collects and analyzes responses, posting trendlines and even sentiment analysis, giving managers a proactive heads-up. During large Q&A sessions, the AI agent intelligently compiles questions and answers, extracts key themes, and builds a searchable knowledge base your team can reference every week—similar to the way executive summaries and daily briefings are automated for leadership teams.

In practice, if team feedback via a Polly survey flags a recurring issue, Runbear’s AI agent can suggest relevant action items, draft follow-up tasks, and assign ownership—all directly in chat, without context switching. This transforms feedback loops from passive data collection into fast, collaborative action. By embedding AI agents into your Polly workflows, your team gains not just more feedback, but intelligent, real-time collaboration and workflow automation.

Polly vs Polly + AI Agent: Key Differences

Integrating Polly with Runbear transforms raw feedback and polling into a hub of intelligent, automated insights and actionable recommendations. With Polly alone, teams often spend valuable time interpreting responses and manually crafting follow-ups. Add a Runbear AI agent, and your workflows become dynamic—summaries, scheduled insights, and next-step suggestions appear automatically in Slack or Teams, empowering faster, data-driven decisions without app switching.

Implementation Considerations

When integrating Polly and Runbear, teams should consider initial setup (connecting the Polly app and configuring AI agent permissions in Slack or Teams) and invest time to train team members on new AI-powered capabilities. Change management is key—shifting from manual interpretation of Polly responses to trusting AI-generated insights requires clear communication and gradual onboarding. Teams should evaluate the cost-benefit of automating summaries or action items versus manual analysis, and confirm which data Runbear AI agents are authorized to access from Polly (particularly for sensitive or anonymous feedback). Security and data governance should be reviewed to ensure compliance with internal policies about feedback data handling and access logging. Finally, teams should gauge organizational readiness for embedding AI-driven workflows into daily processes, ensuring stakeholders are aligned before full-scale rollout.
