The problem it solves

You know a thoughtful gesture before a client visit makes a real impression, but you rarely have time to research gift ideas or a nearby cafe between back-to-back meetings. Important personal touches get skipped when your calendar is packed.

Who it fits

Sales reps, account managers, and business development teams who want to impress clients before in-person meetings.

How it works

  1. A calendar event mentioning a client visit, meeting, or dinner triggers the workflow
  2. The company name is pulled from the event and matched against saved customer preferences in Notion
  3. Google Places finds nearby gift shops and quiet cafes close to the meeting location
  4. GPT-4 picks the best options based on what the customer actually likes
  5. A personalized recommendation lands in Slack before the meeting
What you get

Gift ideas ready before you walk in the room

Get a personalized gift shop and cafe recommendation waiting in Slack before every client meeting.

What you get

A Slack message with a recommended gift shop and cafe, matched to the client's preferences.

What you need

A Google Calendar account, a Notion database of customer preferences, a Google Places API key, an OpenAI API key, and a Slack workspace.

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.
