Discover Community Insights
🆕 Cai: Search Assistant
👋 Say Hi to Cai. An AI search assistant I created to help you discover hard-to-find community insights.
There's tons of great community advice out there. Most of the really good stuff is buried in podcasts, videos, and newsletters that aren't searchable, though.
The result? Most of it gets forgotten.
I wanted to help. So I sourced, downloaded, and transcribed over 1,000 podcast episodes, 900 videos, and a few hundred newsletter posts - over 1,000 hours of fab, actionable content from peers and leaders in the community space.
Then I trained an AI model on it - not to answer questions, but to recommend the best resources.
Don't want to chat to a bot? I created a search option, too.
Check it out, and let me know if it's helpful.
I’ve listed the sources, but I'd love to know what I'm missing. Reply and let me know.

Super cool Gareth! If you're willing to share, what tools did you use to download and transcribe the videos? Also curious on how the AI decides which resources about a topic are the best or most relevant to what the user is looking for - do you give it metrics like view / read counts for content or anything like that? FYI the search page isn't loading for me, look forward to trying that out when I can. Keep up the good work with the newsletter!
