Story Scout: true customer stories, ready to become ads.
- The problem
- Their guest reviews held amazing stories, but they were hard to find.
- What we built
- Story Scout, an agent that reads guest reviews, pulls out the true stories with a plot, sorts them by theme and suggests how to turn each one into an ad. It runs on a schedule for the search terms the team tracks, or on demand for one-off searches. We capped the first edition at 40 stories and discarded one, leaving 39, every one rated 10/10 or the five-star equivalent.
