Episode notes
Score Users With One Behind-The-Scenes AI Call
- Generative AI can score new trial users by consolidating sign-up metadata and activity into one judgment.
- This score plus an explanation helps prioritize outreach and tailor follow-ups.
Force Reasoning Before The Score
- Ask the LLM to explain reasoning before giving a numeric score to reduce post-hoc justification.
- Use a JSON response with explanation then score so the model argues toward the number.
Only Elevate High-Value Leads For Manual Outreach
- When a prospect scores above your threshold, generate a full data object with outreach guidance and persist it to your CRM.
- Send high-scoring profiles to Slack so team members can follow up manually with context-aware messages.
