Here's an inside look at how @HamptonFounders uses AI to help members find their tribe
This zap
-Saves our team time
AND
-Makes new members feel special
Let me show you how it works
Context:
All new members @ Hampton introduce themselves in Slack
We want to make sure these founders meet people with shared interests asap
More connections = more value
Here's how we help parents (or expecting parents) meet other founders managing a family and a business
First, we set our trigger to listen for new messages in our intros channel
CRITICAL
Filter out threaded messages
Every slack message comes with a timestamp. If a "Thread Ts" exists, then we know it's a threaded message
For this zap, we only care about the introduction, not the responses
Send the introduction to OpenAI
With a crafty prompt, we ask OpenAI if the author of the intro is a parent or would be interested in parenting advice
Notice: I want my response as a "yes" or "no" answer. This is used in our next filtering step
Only proceed when the author is marked for parenting content
Lastly, we'll send a channel message in Slack
CRITICAL
Because I'm going to point the author toward our parenting channel, we need to link channel names. Make sure this is "yes"
--
This message is going to be a threaded response
I'll link this message to the original introduction using the timestamp (Ts) from my trigger
Result: inform new members of a channel for parents growing their businesses
Soon we'll recommend other members they should meet and other interesting channels
Pretty neat, right? Best part is that this concept can be used on email, slack, and audio transcriptions!
