Checks weather and air quality in your chosen cities and sends an AI briefing with alerts to Discord.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Any that apply are taken; runs once per each tracked city.

The problem it solves

Keeping tabs on weather conditions across several cities means checking multiple apps and still missing sudden changes like extreme heat or poor air quality. Remote teams and frequent travelers end up finding out about bad conditions too late.

Who it fits

Remote team leads, frequent travelers, and event planners tracking conditions in multiple cities.

How it works

  1. A schedule runs every few hours
  2. The system fetches current weather, forecasts, and air quality for each city
  3. It calculates a comfort score and flags conditions like extreme heat or poor air quality
  4. AI compares the cities and recommends the best one for outdoor activities
  5. Urgent alerts and routine briefings are sent to Discord, and the data is logged to Google Sheets
What you get

Weather risks flagged before they hit

You get regular briefings on weather and air quality across all your chosen cities, with alerts the moment conditions turn extreme.

What you get

A Discord briefing with weather comparisons and alerts, plus a historical log in Google Sheets.

What you need

An OpenWeatherMap account, a Discord webhook, a Google Sheets account, and an OpenAI API key.

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.
