How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs.

The problem it solves

Keeping a fun, consistent icebreaker going in your team chat takes more effort than it seems, and you do not have time to curate content every morning. You want something that shows up on its own and gives your team a shared moment, and maybe a bit of language practice too.

Who it fits

Remote teams or space enthusiasts who want a daily shared moment in their team chat, or Japanese language learners.

How it works

  1. Every morning, the system fetches NASA's picture of the day and its description.
  2. AI summarizes the description into plain language.
  3. It translates the summary into Japanese and generates a spoken audio version.
  4. The image, summary, and audio are posted to your team channel and saved to your archive.
What you get

A daily space photo shared in Japanese with your team

Your team gets NASA's photo of the day with a Japanese summary and narration posted right in your channel.

What you get

A daily post in your team channel with the NASA image, a Japanese summary, and an audio narration, plus an archived record.

What you need

A NASA API key, an OpenAI account, a DeepL account, a Slack workspace, and a Notion 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.
