I’ve been trying to get something going for hours using the workflows. I can’t seem to get the AI to work without it throwing an error. I may change the AI model and then try again. What I am trying to accomplish is something like this: (and very relevant to the recent discussion!) 1. Scheduler runs once per day. 2. Look for posts that haven’t had any replies for 30-365 days. ([Data explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true)) 3. Summarize topics if they aren’t summarized already + store in data table. 4. Give summary + last post to AI, ask the AI if there was an unresolved issue or something that needs a follow up. 5. Store the AI’s opinion, if it needs a follow up post or not. (Data table) 6. Grab from AI processed posts and choose one to reply to. 7. Reply to with a bot asking for a follow up, update or asking if the issue was resolved. Basically just trying to make a workflow that tries to get some random re-engagement on posts that are stale, but may need a follow up posted. Anyone have any ideas? I could get the posts using [data explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) and could get a summary from the AI. I couldn’t get data tables working and didn’t make it to the auto post stage. But I got somewhat close. My thought was splitting in into several workflows: - One workflow grabs the older posts and writes the summary. (stores in data table) - Another workflow reviews the summary and last post to see if a follow up should be posted. (stores in data table) - Another workflow looks at datatable and selects post that should get a post, determine what type of reply it should get and post the reply with a bot account. Not sure if I have this figured out with how to use it, but this plugin has a lot of potential! EDIT: I got this working and posted it on this topic: > [@Show us your Workflows](https://meta.discourse.org/t/show-us-your-workflows/410589/8): > > Following up on a post I made in the original workflows topic. I have figured out how to make it to what I want it to do. This is all a test of course, but here is what it does: This is a re-engagement system that uses AI to hopefully spark discussion and boost re-engagement at times when the site is slow. Phase A: Locate and Summarize Locate posts that are older than 30 days and are some mix of the following: -Popular topics that haven’t had a post in a while. -Topics that are getting a lot… --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-workflows/407100)._
