UBI Works — Social Media Metrics & AI Automation (2026-06-10)
Quick Recap
Phil reported significant social media growth across Commonwealth (50K+ followers), TikTok (37K followers), and Blue Sky (44K followers). Ken’s AI automation experiment for metrics tracking hit Google authorization failures and YouTube access issues. After evaluating the time investment vs. benefits, the team decided to abandon the current AI automation approach — the technology wasn’t ready for reliable implementation. Phil noted even basic text editing with AI still requires significant manual intervention.
