⚡ The Briefing — 60 sec

Apple’s hush-hush “Answer Team” cooking a stripped-down ChatGPT rival. With MSFT and Nvidia in the $4 T club, Cupertino is sprinting to catch the AI train.
DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis: “AI impact will dwarf the Industrial Revolution—10× faster.” Call it what it is: the AI Revolution (we agree, Demis).
Leak hints OpenAI’s first open-source model is imminent. Never ask a Michelin-star chef to leave the kitchen—we love to see it.

🛠️ The Playbook — AI-Powered Feature-Request Prioritizer

Mission Sweep Slack, Intercom, and App Store reviews nightly; cluster feature requests; score impact vs. effort; update Productboard—no PM grunt work.
Difficulty Advanced | Build time 80 min
ROI PM teams reclaim ≈ 10 hrs/week otherwise lost to manual triage.

Step	Action
1	Trigger – Zapier Schedule → Daily 02:00.
2	Slack & Intercom APIs – Fetch yesterday’s posts tagged `#feature`.
3	App Store API – Pull new reviews ≥ 4★ with “wish” or “feature”.
4	Claude 3.5 Sonnet – Prompt:“Cluster similar requests, count occurrences, assign effort (Low/Med/High) and business impact (1-5). Return JSON.”
5	Google Sheets – Append `{feature, cluster_id, count, effort, impact}`.
6	Formula Column – Auto-compute `Priority = impact / effort * log(count)`.
7	Productboard API – Upsert feature, set `Priority` score, attach top user quotes.
8	Slack Digest – Post top 5 features to #product-weekly with links.
9	Fail-safe – If Claude confidence < 0.8, dump raw requests to `_Needs Review` tab.

Pro tip: Add a second Claude call to draft one-sentence “Why now” rationale for each top feature—execs sign off faster.
