Start Your Day With the Brief, Not the Forum · CommunityAssistant.ai EP003

Every community manager's morning starts in the forum. Marius Ciortea's Daily Brief hands that read to AI: it ranks what needs you, spots the patterns, and drafts replies, while you decide what goes out and who answers. It runs from a chat plan and a browser, free for Claude and ChatGPT. Chris Heuer and Marius Ciortea walk through the brief's six sections, run it live on a beekeeping forum and on a Skool community, and finish with Marius's favorite extension: routing each question to the expert in the company who should answer it.
