we’ve been using a grapevine-powered slackbot internally and i really can't imagine working without it. it’s like chatgpt, but with all your company knowledge and it's multi-player.
- support asks how something works → it offers an easy-to-understand answer based on the actual code, not an outdated spec.
- marketing asks when something is shipping → it pulls the launch date and the most recent project update straight from linear.
- product asks about sentiment about a feature in beta → it summarizes real customer quotes from our customer channels and survey responses.
- eng asks why we've made a particular technical choice → it combines code and our notion design docs to explain the what and the why.
it can even auto-answer if it’s confident enough (no tagging required). and since this all happens in slack, everyone can learn or chime in, making the answers better over time.
i truly didn't realize how much time i spent spend routing and answering questions until i stopped having to do it. grapevine takes 30 mins to set up and the first month is on us. give it a shot! 👇🏽
@ShamoonPaolo @_johnnydallas_@gather_town @ShamoonPaolo yes: available standalone today and you can deploy in Slack. Coming very soon natively built into Gather 2. DM if any qs
After I graduated from college, I emailed every NBA team asking about internships.
A lot of non-replies, but Sam Presti sent a signed letter to my parent’s house.
Knowing an NBA GM took the time to do that encouraged me to keep going until I landed in the league.
Congrats OKC
My favorite Gregg Popovich story is personal. Hopefully he won't hold it against me for telling it.
Days after the San Antonio newspaper I worked for folded in 1993, Golden State assistant Pop called to tell me the Spurs were being sold and he was coming back as GM.
Me: "Pop, I really appreciate it, but I have no way to publish that."
Pop: "I know. I'm hoping you can use that information to get a job."
Earlier this year, @noamseg and I ran a survey of 6,500 tech professionals asking them what tools they use most in their work. We shared the results of this analysis in our annual "What's in your stack?" report (see link below).
But then we got a question: "What promising tools appeared in the 'other' category?" In other words, what should be in your stack?
Here's what the data showed us are the most interesting up-and-coming tools you should know about:
1. AI: @meetgranola@glean@chatprd
2. Work communication: @Larksuite@Gather_town
3. Presentations: @gammaapp@Pitch@Larksuite@napkin_ai
4. Data: @posthog
5. Project management: @shortcut
6. Design: @penpotapp
7. Customer support: @usepylon@churnzero @crisp_im
8. CRM: @attio
9. User research: @TallyForms
10. Email: @mimestream
11. Docs: @SLAB@Obsidian
12. Virtual whiteboards: @excalidraw
