I don't say this to many people but I have such a deep, natural inclination to push back on all things AI ๐คฃ
I hate automatic onboarding messages. I want to do everything by hand. I want to send personal DMs. I can see how they're useful, but I want to set a great tone for my comm.
I will say though, I made a GPT to help me connect people more efficiently. When someone joins the community they share the following:
๐ Where are you based?
๐ Where do you work? Your role?
๐จ What are you working on right now? What are you hoping to learn from the folks here?
๐บ What are you watching right now:
So, I took all of that info from my welcome channel, turned it into a JSON file, uploaded it to the GPT, and now I can ask it things like: "Who else is working on forecasting and building dashboards?" (it's a RevOps comm) or "Who else is from Ireland?" and it spits out a list for me. That's made connecting people infinitely faster and easier.
