AI Builders Club – Club Meeting Minutes | Ep. 7: Goodbye Manual Triage, Hello AI RouterTopic: Can AI route every support request to the right human (or bot) without missing a beat?Meeting Agenda: Reroute your support backlog with AIThis week, Chase and Aaron answer a universal cry for help—literally. Customer support inboxes are a swamp of password resets, bug reports, and feature suggestions. Somebody has to read them all… or maybe not?In this session, we covered:Why tools like Zendesk, Freshdesk, and Intercom still rely on brittle, rule-based flowsHow a Support Router flow could live inside your help desk or act as a real-time API triage layerKey inputs: message content, user history, agent skills, urgency, billing dataKey outputs: instant routing decisions, tags, notes, and auto-responsesThe stack: GPT-4o or Claude, LangChain Router, Pinecone, help desk APIsWhere AI shines (zero fatigue, 24/7 sorting) vs. where humans win (tone, trust, judgment)Club Takeaway: Support shouldn’t start with a mystery. With AI as the first responder, the right person sees the right ticket—instantly. That means faster help and less burnout.Adjourned with: “Routing isn’t busywork—it’s the start of solving.”See you at the next meeting.

AI Builders Club – Club Meeting Minutes | Ep. 6: Brand Awareness, UpgradedTopic: What if AI could tap you on the shoulder the moment your brand’s reputation changes?Meeting Agenda: Stay ahead of brand chatterThis week, Chase and Aaron dig into the moments you wish you’d caught sooner—when a happy user gives you props on Reddit, when your feature gets mentioned in a niche newsletter, or when a small confusion starts to snowball into a support thread. There’s data out there—praise, critique, questions, trends—but it’s scattered, fast-moving, and easy to miss when you’re focused on building.They explore how AI might give your brand a second set of ears—ones that never sleep, never miss a post, and know when it’s time to speak up (or not).In this session, we covered: Why Google Alerts and social listening tools still miss the markInputs: public mentions, review metadata, brand tone, CRM contextOutputs: urgency-tagged sentiment dashboard, smart response drafts, weekly winsForm factor ideas: Slack bot, sentiment browser plugin, “Should We Reply?” toggleThe stack: Reddit/Twitter APIs, GPT-4o, vector DBs, RAG for tone-aware promptsHuman vs. Machine: AI listens wide—but only you know when silence is the moveClub Takeaway: A great brand isn’t just about what you say—it’s knowing when the internet’s whispering your name. Adjourned with: “The internet has thoughts. Proceed accordingly.”

AI Builders Club – Club Meeting Minutes | Ep. 5:  Save it for Later is DeadTopic: Can AI finally put “read later” culture out of its misery?Meeting Agenda: Summarize your stack of unread newslettersThis week, Chase and Aaron wade into the swamp of unread Substacks, podcast queues, and Pocket graveyards. “Save it for later” has become the digital junk drawer—and they’re wondering if AI could just… read everything for you.In this session, we covered:Why existing tools (Pocket, SNIT, even Gmail filters) still leave you overwhelmedKey inputs: email newsletters, source links, user settings and preferencesIdeal outputs: a daily summary email + audio digest you actually want to consumeForm factor ideas: inbox delivery, 10-minute audio summary, even a call-in voice agentThe tech stack: scheduled triggers, Gmail APIs, Claude/GPT-4, text-to-speechThe slippery slope: if AI summarizes everything, who’s actually reading anymore?Club Takeaway: Saving links is dead weight. Smart summarization shifts the burden off your brain—so you only see the stuff that matters, in the way you prefer to consume it.Adjourned with: “You don’t need a read-later folder to change a tire.”See you at the next meeting.

Writing content is easy. Deciding what to write is where most people drown. The duo tears into the current crop of tools, explains why they still fall short, and sketches out an AI-powered system that watches your content performance, analyzes your voice, and serves up fresh, strategic topics before you even ask.In this session, we covered:Why tools like ChatGPT, Jasper, BuzzSumo, and Notion AI are helpful, but still too passiveWhat an AI topic assistant should actually do: weekly briefs, format suggestions, and content gap alertsIdeal inputs: your past content, engagement metrics, competitor posts, audience feedbackIdeal outputs: new content ideas with rationale, overuse warnings, and evolution trackingHow the stack might work: OpenAI or Claude, LangChain, Pinecone, and integrations with analytics and CMS toolsWhy humans still win at brand nuance, but AI shines in pattern spotting and scaleClub Takeaway: Topic generation isn’t a one-time brainstorm – it’s a system. Build one that thinks ahead, not just reacts.Adjourned with: “Thinking is hard. Topic generation doesn’t have to be. ”See you at the next meeting. 

AI Builders Club Meeting Minutes | Ep. 3: The Proposal You Meant to WriteTopic: Can AI write the pitch that actually lands the deal?Meeting Agenda: Draft smarter, not harder.This week, Chase and Aaron take aim at the black hole of sales time: writing personalized proposals. Tailoring a pitch to every prospect sounds great—until it eats your week and leads nowhere.In this session, we covered:Why tools like Copy.ai, Regie.ai, and Hyperwrite help… but still miss the markThe ideal experience: select a lead → get a custom proposal in your tone and formatKey inputs: CRM notes, lead pain points, internal goals, product infoWhat it spits out: emails, decks, even video scripts that match your best offerThe stack: GPT-4o, HubSpot APIs, prompt templates per ICPWhy humans still matter: making the call, reading the room, sealing the dealClub Takeaway: A good proposal makes the client feel understood. AI can get you 80% of the way—without copying last quarter’s deck.Adjourned with: "If you’re still copying last quarter’s pitch into a new doc… maybe don’t.” See you at the next meeting.
