With information overload, a multitude of tools, and increasing user expectations, the way you deliver a message must adapt to real-time usage habits.
1. No one reads release note emails
The consequence is immediate: on the day of the change, users don’t understand what has been modified. This leads to errors, support tickets, frustration, and the feeling of being left out of the change.
2. Training materials are outdated the moment they’re published
The user ends up with instructions that are no longer applicable, which undermines their trust in the content provided and harms their effectiveness. They look elsewhere, improvise, or contact support again.
3. Users no longer have time to read a manual
Training time is short, opportunities to figure out how things work are limited, and operational priorities take precedence. Learning must be embedded within the actual usage.
4. Top-down communication is no longer enough
In 2025, users expect targeted, useful communication that doesn’t waste their time. Lack of personalisation reduces message clarity and leads to information overload.
5. New features must be visible within the tool
It’s no longer just about informing that a change has occurred, you must show it, explain it, and embed it in the user’s journey.
6. The right message, at the right time, in the right place
In a complex environment, only an intelligent system can combine these parameters to maximise the reach and usefulness of the message.
Conclusion
Internal tool communication can no longer rely on traditional methods: emails, documentation, occasional meetings. In 2025, communication must happen inside the tool itself, integrated, contextual, targeted, and adaptable.
That’s what Shortways Assistant enables: turning every message into a useful action, every new feature into an adoption opportunity, and every user into an autonomous actor.
