AI Friday #1

Demos

Whitley Rushing (Hello Gravel) walked us through the internal Margin Madness dashboard she built for an internal margin competition for the operations team and her Purchase Order generator which connects to ClickUp and Dialpad to text or email a well formatted PO when requested by a customer.

Eli Ackerman (RentCheck) showed his New Orleans Utility Watch dashboard: a tool for breaking down your Delta Utilities gas bill, tracking boil water advisories, and monitoring Entergy outages.

What We Talked About

The big shared headache: keeping projects organized across teams. Specifically, how do you carry instructions, context, and project knowledge from one project into another without things getting lost or duplicated?
