Using Bardeen to get a Dialy Digest of Discourse Notifications

[ivan]

We’re all swimming in notifications, and it’s always a struggle to find what’s relevant.

This is true for me too. I get many discourse notifications on what’s happening inside the community.

So I figured… I might be able to automate this process with a bit of scraping + AI.

I’ve made this automation:

Get a daily discourse unread notification prioritized in slack - Community Automations.

Shared Playbook | Bardeen

This will use AI to destill the important notifications from Discourse into a message, and share the a daily report on Slack.

Made it for myself, sharing in case it’s useful for others.
Here’s an example on how the output looks like:

To run it, just input the following:

Quick Question: How did you know which OpenAI Model to use? Does Bardeen have a reference guide on which ones are good for specific outcomes?

[ivan]

We don’t have a guide.

Yet good feedback, could be an interesting topic for the Knowledge Base

For me, I just test the automations with the detault model (ChatGPT-3.5) and test the output. Sometimes GPT4 is more powerfull, but it consumes more credits, so I try to be mindfull and only use it on certain cases.

Sorry for all of the notifications Ivan

This is a good daily digest to stay on top of it though, thank you!
