Weekly roundup
It was a busy week spread across many categories, a good week!
I had 5 lead/client meetings. Here is the summary
Unisky (Ecommerce products) We will run a pilot with them to see if they can use AI-BO to validate if people would buy products they want to sell Karabo (Foodtech startup) & Nihilent I expect the sale to go through next week, we have already set the survey up. We will run a survey for them next week at a slight discount. Carrie - consultant (Healthcare) Survey will run after elections Survey will run when they need to research a new product or concept Yebo Fresh (Market research partner & B2B research) There is a chance we’ll do a survey next week and help them gather B2B research LinkedIn post:
On Friday AI-BO did it’s first LinkedIn post and started a new weekly campaign of sharing a “Campaign of the week”. The Delta team was amazing; 3 other people shared the post! Viewership has stayed somewhat low though and is making us question whether the LinkedIn algorithm is penalising us sharing an external link in the post. Followers up to 36 (14 short of week goal)
Surveys
Ran a stokvel survey for a Delta team working with OM. We did a 3 part sequence with them:
Screener survey to select people for them to be eligible for a R100 interview Set up interview meetings with participants and Delta team using Calendly
We are mid-way through a survey with Chama money and another Delta team.
I also spent some time onboarding Ian, the new intern. He completed about 80% of the stokvel survey on Monday. It is going to make an enormous difference to my capacity and ability to focus on growth with Ian now.

What is the long-term play here? Data business → AI-BO is used for lead gen and marketing more than other stuff Can we push out the influencer system more and more Draft a business case using what we did for Guild 2 Nov - 4 Nov
Start regular social media posts about surveys we’re running Facebook posting about each survey Instagram post about each survey Smartwage campaign running on Wednesday Create the Case Study content SmartWage - acquire journalists Smartwage - get more respondents Louis → business plan like Guild Emailer sent out with SmartWage campaign as campaign of the week Prep for Kearney - Acquire SME business owners and CEOs Change airtime payment system Reply to olivier email on tim@ai-bo.coz AI-BO Pitch
Businesses are making more data centric decisions → this is a growing trend. There is going to be a major data privacy clamp down on bigtech social media players. Advertisers are not able to target as personally as before resulting in less cost-effective advertising and higher CAC. iOs14 is an early example of this; majority of Apple users have elected to not share their cookie data. AI-BO has an engaged audience who can be incentivised to execute a behaviour if the incentive makes sense for them. AI-BO can not only be used for acquiring targeted insights but also; marketing, lead generation, recruitment for social media influencers. Using AI-BO for marketing and lead gen may be more cost effective than using bigtech social media Mon 8 Nov - Fri 12 Nov

Data validation and accuracy sprint
Look through old survey response answers to pick up trends in inaccurate data Look at chat histories of individual people to uncover if there are trends Look at patterns in responses from people who respond with rubbish open text answers like “1” If people respond with the same number for the MCQ questions over and over Get Moya response data → same as above Interview 10 people that we know are lying and uncover the degree of their deceit Are they doing surveys for their whole household Are there whatsapp groups or networks to inform friends what to say Research what competitors do to mitigate false info Propose new way of validating data and for future build with more algorithmic methods
