Robyn Perhaps we can shape a draft post based on the links you shared and your ideas, then hand it over Monday afternoon? maybe too much? Just wondering what value we can bring to the post if they are not currently working with AI tech. Maybe, it can be flipped? Remembering Flo and Win saying things along the lines of: even though AI is trending, SMS still dominates the market in their parts, and shouldn't be forgotten as Africa usually has slower adoptions of these global trends especially around tech... but not sure if that's a bit of a negative spin.. but essentially, know your audience and Gikko's customers customers are not necessarily at the front of AI but still require a consistent and good experience which Gikko provides. And with global partners like Infobip, when AI takes of more, theyr're backed by the front runners..

Laura  I am not precious about the topic, I am referring to the fact that we said we would write something new for them  for the newsletter (post?) and that is not part of the plan now.  If it was this a conscious choice due to timing, cool. if not, we need a plan? I am only referring to the AI idea because both you and Ian loved it when I raised it on Tuesday.  I am happy to adjust, just trying to work out if we have a gap - 

Robyn Laura  I mentioned it on the chat as well, but I think let's get Winston's thumbs up on our choice, then we can make it happen. 

Hey Ian, Lau and I have a plan so we can chat on Monday :)

What I need you to check:

Ian & Laura I am still updating the doc but wanted to get a framework for the blog in place - I used gemini (the new name for bard ) and went about the topic in this way: AI PROMPTS ETC: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rB21czQzvqa86oN3jPGBEarumbNVKYsETI6kF7jdUfA/edit And took that and put it on this template https://docs.google.com/document/d/11Cotfx_sIA-HvwfNtG1Bh3AJ_xqW2SB33gXwT1rOVYc/edit  what do you think? Don't hold back, I am not sensitive about feedback ! Trying to see if the format serves us - I only edited the end of the blog, the rest is gemini - you will see my cheese to try and end it haha - let me know! 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19HFbAS4qy3IFBgTm-eJfc8b55MCTb56kT_JP1Mm-OKM/edit#gid=635687737 - Laura I duplicated your tab so you still have the original and tidied up the thoughts in the way I thought it makes sense - please check when you have a moment. I know we are busy so happy to share with Gikko on Friday 

Robyn this is looking great! I made a few tweaks to the Gikko blog template – please have a look 👀. I added a few comments and questions ~ specifically for the content and how we might be able to gear it more for Gikko audiences. Think this is a super start! I'm moving onto the blog ideas sheet and will provide feedback on that in a bitjie! yipeee! theres movement and think they will love this first go!

Nice Laura great - we can definitely enhance - I didn't want to go too deep because we need Win aligned on the topic so I kept it very short ai driven but with some logic so we can use this format and template going forward.  Ian I gave you a task for Friday so it would be awesome if you play editor and add what Lau has suggested / edit as you see fit - I am not sure length is a big issue but I imagine too long isn't good - thanks peeps - yes ! happy to kick start this badboy! 

Hey Robyn 🤗 I've added the blog post ideas to the Gikko Social Media content doc, here. Gikko team do have access to this, but I've not told them its there, so they are not aware. Its everything we've discussed and have been fleshing out, just copied over from the "kitchen" doc, so I think it would be a good time to get there commentary going. 

A few changes I made: 

What you think? Can we share with them?

Laura Thanks for the additional structure. No probs on splitting out the ideas - its the same idea different vertical - we can obviously keep going on that but lets start with those. I would like to wait for Ian to confirm that we are good on the template before we share please - Friday is the day for this at this stage - thank you 

Perfect! Yay! I think this is going to get us off to the races with a few posts over the next couple of months! which is awesome 🙌  #Progress

Ian please look at this spread: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1slNrJoenkSJpG4qTKowPzjrXFxVSdPx81R9SCPzEPBw/edit#gid=1183163511&range=A2 This is the most recent

Laura Robyn  - I think this is great to share with Winston and team for their input. I can sign myself up to write a couple of posts for Gikko next week. 

Ian are you happy with the template too? https://docs.google.com/document/d/11Cotfx_sIA-HvwfNtG1Bh3AJ_xqW2SB33gXwT1rOVYc/edit#heading=h.w2610qwueum

Yup - that looks great Robyn  .
