06/07/2023, 11:53 AMWhere do you work? What's your product like? Also I'm a digital marketer and SEO more than a traditional marketer. How about you? - m

06/07/2023, 11:55 AMI'm the Marketing Coordinator for RunWhen. We're a fledgling SaaS startup entering beta and I am the marketing department at the moment so I'm wearing a lot of hats. We're a productivity boosting tool for troubleshooting Kubernetes (and other open source packages eventually. Kubernetes focus atm) that provides digital assistants to run troubleshooting scripts for you. - m

06/07/2023, 11:57 AMHow about you? What are you working on? - c

06/07/2023, 11:58 AMVery cool. I'm also a one-person marketing department. I work for a Swiss-Swedish public company called Divio. The product is a platform with built-in features for people who are either in a highly-regulated industry or serve people in highly-regulated industries. Lots of work on inbound, the normal stuff, I guess. 🙂 - c

06/07/2023, 11:59 AMAI troubleshooting scripts sound pretty rad. And you're on trend. Everyone hates Kubernetes right now! - c

06/07/2023, 12:04 PMYou've seen the Seinfeld meme, right? I feel like that encapsulates the whole thing 😂 - m
Maggie Millsap
06/07/2023, 12:05 PM"the normal stuff" 😆 That's funny! Yeah, the only problem with being on-trend is the over saturation of the market as everyone adds in an AI chat bot. We specifically did not want a chat bot within our platform, we went a little different with AI. - m

06/07/2023, 12:05 PMI don't think I've seen the meme! Share it! - c
Christina Harker
06/07/2023, 12:07 PMAnd yeah, I just feel like AI that helps people fix Kubernetes... well, the time is right for that, for sure! But I get you with the AI. It's everywhere. A little too everywhere. - m
Maggie Millsap
06/07/2023, 12:10 PMI feel that! And too many companies are making AI promises when those models are "smart stupid" and can't write code, no matter how much training you do. - c
Christina Harker
06/07/2023, 12:13 PMI'm, at this moment, rewriting a meta description I asked chatGPT for. I specified 2-sentences and 150 characters. I got 3 sentences and 360 characters. 😂 You're preaching to the choir! - m
Maggie Millsap
06/07/2023, 12:18 PMRight?! Our product runs commands and suggests "next step" commands based on output but the commands themselves are written by open-source contributors (and we actually pay royalties to approved contributors who maintain their code). AI is great at stringing together commands but is not nearly smart enough to write them. - c
Christina Harker
06/07/2023, 12:20 PMOh for sure! I'm kinda curious to see what happens next with it. People are all going to figure out it's a great doer but not a great thinker. And then what? - m
Maggie Millsap
06/07/2023, 12:22 PMAgreed! The next step for the industry is going to be wild to see. I'm really excited to see everything that gets invented in the next few years! - c
Christina Harker
06/07/2023, 12:26 PMI'm old enough to be the Abe Simpson meme, shaking my fist at the cloud 😂 - c
Christina Harker
06/07/2023, 12:26 PMBut yeah, it will be wild to see where it goes - m
Maggie Millsap
06/07/2023, 3:12 PMDon't mind me... Just adding new marketing minded folks as I see new intros being made! I'm excited to meet everyone!h- 2

07/07/2023, 1:44 PMDoes anybody else get the Why We Buy newsletter? Katelyn Bourgoin included this last week and I kinda love it. - h
Hector Kambow
07/12/2023, 6:27 PM👋🏼 I hope everyone is having a great week so far! @Christina Harker & and I were chatting and we thought this would be a good place to share (and start some discussion as well).I wanted to ping the group here and ask if we knew of any other software/cloud related (slack) communities that we should be aware of? (or marketing Slack communities that we are finding helpful!)
