Transcript

1. 0:00SNAP benefits are about to enter the weekend and uh and basically face Monday potentially without food. Brandon, do
2. 0:07you want to come up? Can you come up and share what what you've put together and and what you've been thinking about? I
3. 0:12know that United Way is a great resource and you should call 211 in your local community. They have great volunteers
4. 0:17nationwide that are available 24 hours a day. But if you don't want to talk to somebody and you need help, uh you now have the ability to
5. 0:27uh talk to chat GBT. And keep in mind with custom GPTs in this case, I didn't add any proprietary data. I didn't put
6. 0:35anything behind it that you couldn't find in a Google search. But what I did was I gave it a personality. I gave it a
7. 0:42tone. So if you come over to explore GPTs and search in the bar for either my name or SNAP or help after SNAP is the
8. 0:49name of the GPT, we start the chat and uh it's got some prompts here. So you could give it your zip code and find

12. 1:15you empathy. You know, I'm really sorry you're going through that. It's it's really stressful. The good news is that
13. 1:20there's still ways to get food. So, I did that on chat GPT, which a lot of people have access to. But if you don't
14. 1:28have access to chat GPT, I also built an Instagram avatar that's susie snaphelper that has the same instructions, but is
15. 1:37available on Facebook Messenger, on Instagram Messenger, and on WhatsApp. So, you can have that same conversation
16. 1:44in this environment as well. So, they're both free to use, and I hope that they they help somebody.
17. 1:50>> That's absolutely awesome. So first of all, thank you for doing that, for thinking of
