Broken-process signals
You re-ask “who is still coming?” on meetup day. Chat and spreadsheet lists disagree. Newcomers do not know how to join.
The organizer spends more time on admin work than on the meetup itself.
What the bot adds
One attendee list, capacity, reminders, and attendance history. Members get a short path: see event → join.
This does not replace live chat. It adds an order layer on top of the community.
FAQ
Can the chat stay as it is?
Yes. The bot works with the group: conversation stays in chat, board and signup live in the bot and mini app.
