The problem it solves

You or your community would enjoy seeing a new space photo each day, but remembering to check NASA's site and share it yourself is easy to forget. Without automation, most days it just does not happen.

Who it fits

Community managers and space enthusiasts who run a Discord server and want fresh content daily.

How it works

  1. Runs once a day, early in the morning
  2. Pulls the current astronomy picture of the day from NASA
  3. Posts the image and description to your Discord channel
What you get

Fresh content your community sees every morning

Your Discord server gets a beautiful new space photo and description from NASA automatically posted every single morning.

What you get

A daily NASA space photo posted automatically to your Discord server.

What you need

A Discord account and a Discord webhook or bot.

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.
