The problem it solves

When someone new supports you on Patreon or Ko-fi, you want to welcome them, add them to your newsletter, and keep track of what they're paying you, but doing this by hand for every new supporter is easy to fall behind on. Supporters who don't hear back quickly can feel unappreciated.

Who it fits

Creators who run Patreon or Ko-fi pages and want to stay on top of supporter communication.

How it works

  1. A new donation, subscription, or purchase comes in through Patreon or Ko-fi
  2. The system checks whether that supporter is already on your newsletter list, and adds them if not
  3. AI reviews the type of support to figure out what happened, like a new patron or a cancelled subscription
  4. A tailored email is sent to the supporter based on what they did
What you get

Welcome messages ready without writing them yourself

Welcome every new Patreon and Ko-fi supporter with a message matched to what they just did.

What you get

An updated newsletter list and a personalized email sent to each new or changed supporter.

What you need

A Patreon and/or Ko-fi account, a Gmail account, an OpenAI API key, and a Google Sheets 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.
