Hey Vanilla friends 👋
In case you missed it, we recently hosted a session on how AI is Changing the Way Community Teams Work. Check out the recording below!
For most community teams, AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude have become a regular part of the workflow, but they've always had a fundamental limitation: they have no connection to your community platform. Every time you want an informed answer, you're manually pulling data and rebuilding context from scratch. And because community data is so vast and constantly changing, what you can realistically bring to a prompt barely scratches the surface.
MCP - Model Context Protocol - is the open standard that closes that gap. It connects AI tools directly to the platforms where your data lives, giving them real-time access to information. And with that connection in place, you can take full advantage of the agentic capabilities already built into these tools, from automating workflows to surfacing proactive insights and acting on your behalf.
Let us know if you have any questions!
