The problem it solves

You want your team's channels to feel welcoming to everyone, but reminding people about word choice in the moment feels awkward and easy to forget. You'd rather the nudge happen automatically and consistently, without anyone having to call it out.

Who it fits

A team or community manager who wants inclusive language reinforced automatically in Mattermost channels.

How it works

  1. Triggers whenever a new message posts in Mattermost
  2. Checks the message for words like 'guys' or 'gals'
  3. If found, posts a friendly reminder suggesting inclusive alternatives
  4. Takes no action if the message doesn't need it
What you get

A team nudged toward kinder language

You get a friendly nudge posted automatically whenever your team's Mattermost messages could use more inclusive language.

What you get

An automatic, friendly reply in the channel whenever exclusionary language shows up.

What you need

A Mattermost account with bot access.

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.
