Hey AskSpot community! In this session, we built a seasonal Holiday Home Prep Bot for a real cleaning company in Phoenix. This bot gives visitors an instant holiday checklist, suggests cleaning plans, collects leads, and helps convert traffic into booked services. Perfect for anyone serving local, service-based businesses who want fast, useful, niche-specific AI tools. Here’s what we covered: • 00:00 – Office Hours intro + Thanksgiving recap • 01:20 – Build overview for a real cleaning business • 03:06 – Adding Q&As, resources, and the holiday checklist • 07:02 – Chatbot customization + brand-matching design • 12:00 – Channels, CTAs, and automated lead capture • 16:18 – Deployment demo + testing the bot live Check the comments for the import link and source docs.

Let's talk about a huge opportunity you have with one specific type of client: The local business owner who is the brand. Think about the passionate chef, the stylish boutique owner, the seasoned contractor with 30 years of stories, or the financial advisor who is a pillar of the community. Their greatest marketing asset isn't their logo or their website; it's their personal expertise and their story. The Problem: They are sitting on a goldmine of content, but they have zero time or desire to write blog posts, create videos, or manage a complex social media presence. They're experts at their craft, not at being content creators. This is a problem you can solve in a single afternoon with Askspot. You can offer them something truly unique: an "AI 'Ask the Founder'" Content Hub. This isn't just a chatbot. This is a system for turning your client's most valuable asset (their brain) into a 24/7, interactive content machine that works for them while they work on their business. Here’s the "magic trick" you can set up for them: 1. You Conduct a Single "Brain Dump" Interview.This is the core of the service. You schedule a single, one-hour recorded call with your client. You come prepared with a list of great questions designed to extract their wisdom: - "What's the biggest misconception about your industry?" - "What's the story behind how you started this business?" - "What's the one piece of advice you give every new customer?" - "Tell me about your most memorable project or proudest moment." 2. You Create their "Ask the Founder" Spotlight. You take the recording of that one hour interview and get it transcribed (services like Rev.com are perfect for this). Then, you feed that entire transcript into the Sources tab of a new Spotlight. The AI now thinks and talks with the authentic voice, stories, and opinions of your client. 3. You Design the Experience. The Spotlight page features a great, professional photo of the owner. The headline is simple and powerful: "Ask Me Anything." The welcome message in the chat says:

Hey Guys! Just dropped a quick "Watch Me Build" session where I turn a Spotlight into a dynamic resource hub powered by AI. Think of it like a smart landing page that doesn’t just display info—it helps users interact with your content through AI. What’s a Resource Hub Spotlight? It’s a customizable landing page where you can showcase key resources (like guides, videos, and links) and layer in an AI assistant to help users find what they need, answer FAQs, or guide them to the right next step. In the video: - I build one from scratch - Add content links and design the spotlight - Hook up an existing AI chatbot to make it interactive 👉 Try building your own version and drop the link below. Would love to see how you're using Spotlights!

There’s a new research product demonstrating some wicked capabilities when it comes to the ability to truly connect. Hop over to http://sesame.com and take it for a spin. Here’s part of a conversation I had to evaluate the nuances of how ‘human’ it is.

If @Drew Griffin & I were to promote and run a Ai Basics Workshop series for small businesses would any of you be interested in teaching during these workshops??
