The problem it solves

When someone asks a question in your community, chances are it's been answered before somewhere in old posts and comments. Digging through pages of history to find that answer takes far longer than just answering it fresh, so valuable past discussions get ignored.

Who it fits

A community manager or member of an online community who wants quick answers pulled from past discussions.

How it works

  1. You submit a question through a simple form
  2. The automation searches your community's past posts for relevant keywords
  3. It gathers matching posts along with their comments
  4. AI reads everything and writes a summary answering your question
  5. It saves the summary as a Google Doc and shows you a quick result
What you get

Quick answers pulled from old posts

Ask a question and get a written summary pulled straight from your community's past discussions, saved as a Google Doc you can share.

What you get

A Google Doc research summary answering your question, based on past community discussions.

What you need

An active community membership, an Anthropic API key, and a Google Workspace account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
