The problem it solves

Busy WhatsApp groups move fast, and if you step away for a few hours you come back to hundreds of unread messages. Scrolling back to find what actually mattered eats up time you don't have.

Who it fits

Teams, communities, or classes that run an active WhatsApp group and need a daily recap.

How it works

  1. The system collects all messages from the WhatsApp group throughout the day
  2. Messages are logged and organized in Google Sheets
  3. At a set time each day, AI reads the messages and writes a summary
  4. The summary is saved as a document in Google Drive
What you get

A ready daily recap of group chatter

You get a short, easy-to-read recap of your WhatsApp group's conversation waiting for you in Google Drive each day.

What you get

A daily summary document of the group's conversation, saved and ready to share.

What you need

A WhatsApp business messaging connection, a Google Workspace account, and an OpenAI API key.

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.
