Multi-Watcher Communities

A single Community can have more than one Watcher deployed at once, each with a different role, persona, and specialty. For example: a Community Lead handling engagement and general questions, a Support Watcher answering FAQs, and a Security Watcher focused on moderation.

Each deployment into that Community consumes its own Watcher slot — three Watchers deployed to one Community uses three slots, the same as three Watchers deployed across three separate Communities. See "Watcher Slots and Billing" for the exact formula.

When several Watchers are deployed together, they're designed to avoid piling on: replying to the exact same message with several near-identical answers is treated as unhelpful, not as thoroughness. A message addressed to a specific Watcher by name is answered by that Watcher; a message that's clearly for the whole team may get more than one response, bounded so it doesn't turn into every Watcher replying at once.

If a member's message names one Watcher, another deployed Watcher won't speak on that Watcher's behalf or invent what it would have said — each Watcher only speaks for itself.
