Tell Me Your Problem Bot submission and response workflow

The problem

Small-business owners often know where time is disappearing but do not know which AI approach is realistic or affordable.

The solution

A Tally webhook turns a described problem into a short practical response, emails it to the submitter and sends a separate internal notification.

Build timeline

What changed, and why.

    changed

    Bot marked live and working

    Recorded the problem-response workflow as built, live and working.

Lessons learned

The notes I would use next time.

WORKED

Asking for the problem in plain language lowers the barrier to taking part.

BROKE

Webhook retries can repeat side effects unless idempotency is designed in.

CHANGE

Add clearer examples and boundaries before connecting a public chat experience.
