i.e there's so many potential variables that could be impacting these scores that the hardwork of figuring out exactly why is up to you.

#personal-wellness - January 14, 2026 at 08:54 PM

@Dom D'Alexander should tap in here but from what I understand it's really useful for anecdotal pattern recognition.

i.e "I've noticed my scores are bad when I do (drinking, working out too many nights in a row, having kids)" that are generally meant to shape positive behavior over time

Haha would need to know the goal of the campaign first. Maybe they're optimizing for mentions in health-focused slack channels!

#intros - January 08, 2026 at 02:33 PM

Right on, <@U0A76RQSTGB> - Really enjoyed your chat with the group last month. Would love to connect some time!

<@U0A4KT4D1FA> Saw your post in the other channel and while this might not be the perfect 1-for-1 fit to your question, you might find some tools in this list that Kelleigh amassed.

I can certainly ask - it is in Flatiron though. I'll circle back when I get a response to that.

The founder already gave me the greenlight to connect you to her if you're down?

#asks-offers-advice - December 11, 2025 at 09:19 PM

Hey <@U096SSKTLV9> - Would give our friends @ Corner Table Creative a look.

Happy to make a connection if you're interested. We've also worked with them before and can't speak highly enough.

#intros - November 30, 2025 at 03:33 PM

Awesome to have you in here as well Emilie - was awesome to get to chop it up @ Distilled🫡

#random - November 21, 2025 at 08:24 PM

Looks pretty comprehensive.

Intercom has slashed our manual Customer Support by 92%

Magic Patterns is making it's way into our Stack for designing MVPs. More design focused than v0 or Lovable imo.

Been diving into n8n a lot more recently and strongly prefering it to gumloop and relay.

Has anyone created anything that they actually find themselves using for either work or life productivity that they want to share?

#ai - November 19, 2025 at 09:01 PM

Might be able to use the /embed command in notion and use an iframed solution of one of the big AI boys to serve as the search functionality.

Would probably look janky though.

#intros - August 14, 2025 at 03:12 PM

Woah what a sick gig - Just started getting back into the game since moving out of the city.

Was shocked to see such a major LIV presence in the Youtube golf space. It's been such a crazy thing to watch unfold over the past few years

Each query would return a data object that would populate this page shell. Would love some feedback or criticism as none of us are particularly SEO-fluent by any stretch of the imagination🫡

#ai - July 07, 2025 at 02:04 PM

The ai-powered flow would take these keywords, attempt to intuit target-persona and reason for querying in order to create a Keyword-specific, SEO-optimized landing page that would funnel users to our platform. Right up top, we'll have a prompt that will, again, ping our Assistant to tweak the hi-quality component previews below. Hopefully, to generate interest and increase dwell-time on the page.

Pretty neat, lovable + a few months of customer-support logs have done a fantastic job.

#ai - July 07, 2025 at 01:59 PM

Hey guys - I figured I'd give the tl;dr on a neat little side quest I've embarked on largely using a few AI tools (gumloop, chatGPT / Assistants, Lovable, etc...)

We decided to give some love to our SEO strategy as it was previously only driven by the magnitude of reach that each individual coach on our platform had. We don't have the budget to do battle across all the prime keywords that our PE-backed competition is just comfortably winning. So we've decided to target some longer-tail keywords that show high intent for a demographic that's currently crushing it on our platform.

For example, "Best platform for dance fitness coaches" would be a term we'd seek to win.

n8n might be the move as my first "Get Transcript" Youtube node broke because of a recent update to the API

#random - June 12, 2025 at 03:24 PM

<@U08UGG001SL> I've recently started turning over stones on utilizing Gumloop to get some wheels turning on producing some AI-derived content to experiment with SEO and seeing what effect it has with top-funnel acquisition.

Still have to put some of these things into practice as I'm pretty new and trying to learn as much as I can - but the possibilities seem pretty exciting. Hit me on the side if you're at all interested🫡

A little slow to do this as I’ve been in here for a little bit now but better late than never (s/o @Johness Dailay for the nudge (+@Brad Seeber, @Kurt Hildebrandt, @Brian Von Ancken, <@U08GLEDQM0X>, + more for coming to our event this past weekend))

My Name: Ian Waltz

Location: Recently broke the Stockholm Syndrome of NYC and got a house in Richmond, Virginia

Current Role: Co-Founder / CPO, Somble

Hobbies:

• Massive soccer fan and desperately missing the NYC-scene, there’s nothing quite like it.
• Comedy
• Love playing sports and anything that reminds me that I’m athletically washed

Favorite Follow / Podcast / Show (Wellness):

• FITT Insider reigns supreme as far as high-level goings-ons is concerned
• Lenny’s Podcast tends to scratch the product-geek part of my brain
• All the regular slew of Comedy podcasts to help assuage the increasing male-loneliness issues (counting this as wellness-related)

Topics I’m Excited to Connect On:
• How product-related motions have made meaningful impacts (positive or negative)
• Increasingly Hyrox - Seems like it has, and will continue to dethrone, crossfit/intramural sports for the foreseeable future.
• Wellness/Fitness Communities
How I Can Support WGM:
• Love auditing product workflows as case-studies so if you’d like an opinion or consultation hmu
• Growing network of fitness professionals, coaches, trainers, etc
• Trends and Insights into what fitness consumers are resonating with.
• Connection with brands in the space (CPG, B2B, etc)
• Everything we do is emotionally-taxing, happy to simply lend an ear to listen, sounding board to vent + brag about your thing, or exchange founder war-stories.
How WGM Can Support Me:
• Any connections to more trainers, coaches, gyms/studios fitness business entities, I, or @Dom D'Alexander, would love to chat with.
• Mostly just interested in the community doing cool community things

#asks-offers-advice - April 25, 2025 at 08:10 PM

Of course🫡

#asks-offers-advice - April 25, 2025 at 08:07 PM

Not sure how helpful this is but there's a couple of founders that we knew in NYC who put together a pretty cool marketplace for packaging / samples / CPG companies.

Again, I know they're primarily focused on the supply-side (attracting distributors) but worth giving a quick look
