"And here's the prompt:"
""
"We are a small institute called the Exponential Institute that studies the future—from 10, to 100, to 1,000, to 10,000 years from now, and onward until the end of the universe. We host visiting scholars who study different future eras for colloquia and talks. We are broadly organized by those exponential timeframes. We need a variety of software."
""
"PEOPLE DIRECTORY. We need to create a large database of everyone across various fields. The goal is to be able to search for say, physicists of the far future or sociologists of the near future. That would have typical data about affiliations, photos, and so forth, but also connect them to areas of study."
""
"CONTENT REPOSITORY. We generate a ton of content in newsletters, social media, blog posts, and by researcher. Lots of academic PDFs, and books, too. As well as conference talks. So we need a rich multimedia content platform. We use and re-use this content so we want to track that as well."
""
"CONTENT DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK. We create a lot of papers and opinion pieces, and sometimes work with governments or NGOs. We'd like a single place to capture all of that—a workflow for commissioned work, assigning it, drafting, and editing content."
""
"CONFERENCE PLANNING. We host a lot of events, at different locations. We need a planning tool."
""
"COMMUNITY. We have a large community of subscribers to our newsletter, some of whom attend conferences. We need a CRM tool that lets us know who's interested, where they work, and so forth."
""
"DEVELOPMENT. We're a not-for-profit and we have to raise money. So all of this should incorporate the idea that we need to communicate this, ask for donations, and encourage the idea of subscribing/connecting, and tracking donations. In addition we should be tracking foundations and tracking foundation grants."
""
"I know this is a lot but if you could think hard on it and really come back with a working first version with a lot of depth and sample data I would appreciate it.
