The problem it solves

You like the idea of a daily team icebreaker, but remembering to find and post a good trivia question every single day gets old fast. Without a record, you also lose track of what you've already asked.

Who it fits

Team leads or community managers who want a low-effort daily engagement habit.

How it works

  1. A daily schedule kicks things off
  2. A random difficulty level is chosen
  3. A trivia question is pulled from an open trivia database
  4. The question is posted to your Slack channel
  5. The question and answer are logged to a spreadsheet for future reuse
What you get

Daily trivia moments that keep your team engaged

A fresh trivia question lands in your Slack channel every day, giving your team a quick, easy reason to engage.

What you get

A daily trivia post in Slack and a growing spreadsheet archive of past questions.

What you need

A Slack workspace and a Google Workspace 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.
