Just launched TicketReel - turn resolved tickets into AI avatar videos, posted back to Intercom

Hey everyone -ย just shipped TicketReel, a Canvas Kit app I built for the Intercom inbox.

The idea: when an agent resolves a ticket, they add an internal note with the resolution steps, then click Generate Video in the TicketReel panel. The app turns that note into a 60-second branded AI avatar video โ€” scripted by GPT-4o, rendered via HeyGen, captioned via Whisper โ€” and posts the video link back to the conversation as an internal note.


The video can be shared with the customer or published to your knowledge base, so the same resolution helps future customers who hit the same issue.


Built with Canvas Kit + the Conversations API. Happy to answer any questions about how it works under the hood.

How to get your whole CS team using AI in Slack, not just the 3 people who figured it out

every CS team i've talked to runs into the same thing: they buy Claude, a few people use it regularly, and everyone else basically ignores it.

it's almost always an adoption gap. here's what actually closes it:


1. build a shared @CSOps teammate in Slack, not 20 individual workflows


when everyone prompts AI separately, there's no shared learning, no improvement. build one named teammate in your CS channel. everyone asks it questions. the team improves it together through chat, not an IT ticket.


2. start with the 5 questions that come in every single day


not the impressive use cases. the boring ones: "what's the renewal process for X plan?" "where's the escalation template?" "what did we promise in this customer's contract?" automate those first. boring beats flashy for actual adoption.


3. automate context gathering before a rep even starts drafting


an AI that makes your team pull CRM history, open tickets, and account notes themselves isn't saving time. the win is when context is already there before anyone asks. teams we've worked with cut per-request time by about 80% once this step was automated.


4. assign one person to own it, even 1 hour a week


the teammate won't improve itself. someone needs to update instructions, add new use cases, and drop what stopped working. without this, adoption falls off in month 2 when the novelty wears off.

I just got a phone call from an AI recruiter bot.

I just got a phone call from an AI recruiter bot.

As someone who uses AI daily, I was shocked!


I love tech. I use AI to help source candidates. I use it to write client screens. I even use it to transcribe virtual calls with candidate approval. (I even created this image with AI).


But talking to a bot on the phone felt wrong. It felt like a data-harvesting scam. It lacked any shred of security. Most of all, it lacked humanity.


Call me old-fashioned, but finding a job requires a human touch.

Hiring is built on trust. You cannot build a relationship with an algorithm. I want real partnerships with my clients, recruiters, and candidates.


Automation should enhance our work, not replace our relationships.

Am I alone here?

Should recruiters use AI? Yes (with caveats).

Should recruiters use AI? Yes (with caveats).

But all the AI and tooling in the world doesn't change the fundamentals. AI doesn't make a bad process good. It makes it fast. And a bad process at scale is the worst version of hiring there is. Point it at a structured, consistent one, and it helps run that process for every candidate. Not speed. Not cleverness. Consistency.


A few things I believe after building this into a real talent function:


โ–ช๏ธ The recruiter stays at the centre. AI can make you faster and better informed. The human still makes the call and owns the outcome.


โ–ช๏ธ The constraint isn't which model is smartest. It's whether it can see the whole hiring story. Scatter it across email, Slack, and half-filled ATS notes, and your AI only ever reasons about the easy half.


โ–ช๏ธ Hiring is two kinds of work. Predictable work you automate. Judgment work AI assists with, but never decides.


โ–ช๏ธ The resume is an even weaker signal now. Both sides have the same tools. That's not a crisis, it's a forcing function for skills-based hiring. It strips away the lazy proxies and rewards the teams who already knew what "good" looks like and built a process to test for it.


I just hosted the first episode of the Pinpoint How-To Series on exactly this.


I walk through the five areas where this changed how I work: intake and role design, candidate management, recruiting content, reporting and insights, and interview prep.


It's 20 minutes, practical, and I share the three red lines I won't cross. Link in the comments.

Recruiting used to mean logging into your ATS, clicking through pipelines, manually sending follow-ups, pulling reports.

Recruiting used to mean logging into your ATS, clicking through pipelines, manually sending follow-ups, pulling reports.

Now you just... ask.


"Find every candidate with an AI fit score above 70 and send them a follow-up."

"Generate my weekly hiring report."

"Move everyone who hasn't responded in 10 days to a nurture sequence."


Done. In seconds.


We just launched our MCP server, 130 tools that connect your 100Hires account directly to Claude or ChatGPT. Your AI can now read your pipeline and take real actions in it.


Recruiting hasn't changed this fast in a long time.
