Pick a fair daily giveaway winner from Facebook comments automatically

AI filters out spam and past winners from your Facebook comments, then picks and announces a fair winner daily.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; runs once per each remaining comment.

The problem it solves

Running a comment contest fairly means reading every entry, checking who has already won, and filtering out spam by hand. Doing this daily is tedious and mistakes erode trust with your community. You want a fair, consistent process without the manual grind.

Who it fits

Community managers or brands running recurring social media giveaways.

How it works

  1. A schedule triggers the automation each evening
  2. Comments from your Facebook post and your list of past winners are pulled
  3. Past winners and spam or low-effort comments are filtered out
  4. AI checks the remaining comments for genuine positive sentiment
  5. A winner is randomly selected, logged in Airtable, and announced on Telegram
What you get

Giveaway winners chosen without any hassle

You get a fair, spam-filtered giveaway winner picked and announced automatically from your Facebook comments every day.

What you get

A logged winner record and an automatic announcement message.

What you need

A Facebook account with API access, an Airtable account, an OpenAI API key, and a Telegram 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.
