Let’s meet in the comments 🫡

Hey people 👋 I'm back after almost two weeks :) In the meantime I built a few new things into catknows: 👉 Ask your AI "what just happened on Skool?" and it reads your notifications and opens the posts behind them 👉 See only the posts you haven't read yet, the top posts of the week or month, or one category 👉 Search posts and members by name 👉 For owners: your growth numbers (visitors, signups, where people come from) and your join requests, which you can approve or decline right from your AI 👉 The Skoolers leaderboard with the top earners for every category If you run catknows yourself, update it and reconnect it once. On the hosted one just reconnect the connector :) And I'm super happy about all the new faces here in the last weeks 🙏🏽 So a big hi to every single one of you ☺️! So I'm curious 🤔 Are you already using catknows? If yes, what for? And if not, why not? Drop it in the comments 👇🏽 PS: Tell your friends and your Skooler friends about catknows 🐾 Once we hit 100 members, everyone who joins after that pays $7 a month for the hosted version. Everyone who is here before keeps it free forever. We're at 59 right now, so be quick and grab it for free while you can :)

Tonight, 19:30 Berlin time (CEST) — that's 1:30 PM ET / 10:30 AM PT — the weekly 🗞️ catknwes. call is on. And this one's special. Quick answer for anyone landing here for the first time: catknows is a free, open-source tool that connects your Skool community to the AI you already use — ChatGPT, Claude and more. Skool has no official API and no real analytics dashboard. catknows fixes that. You just ask in plain English: "Who joined this week and hasn't posted yet?" · "Which post got the most comments?" · "Summarize my unread DMs." Tonight we'll talk about three things: 😼 What catknows can do RIGHT NOW — members, posts, comments, DMs, admin metrics, even the Discovery leaderboard 🐾 How I use it myself, LIVE — real workflows on real communities, no slides 🚀 What's NEXT — because the data layer is just the door. Behind it: endless possibilities for how you see, understand and serve your people. Make the invisible visible. People, not pipelines. Before we go live, some love for the hoomans who made this the best week this community ever had: @Des Cooke joined and was posting straight from Claude within minutes. @Mercedes Aspland put catknows to work on her 2,600-member community and wrote the review of the week. @Iyaraa Iam asked the questions that became our best thread so far — public vs. private communities, go read it — and @Mindy Molein dropped the answer of the week in it. @Dan Schaad ran a full diagnostic and keeps making the cat smarter with every bug report. And to everyone who jumped in this week: @Keith Berg @Rositsa Aleksandrova @Elfina Luk @Deleted @Éva Raposa @Ben B. @Joseph Isosaki @Kaseem Bradley — you're the reason this exists.

Hey hoomans 👋 catknows connects your Skool account to the AI you already use. Your AI then sees what YOU see when you're logged in: your communities, their members and posts, your DMs, even the discovery charts. And it answers questions about all of it. Two ways in. Pick one. ☁️ HOSTED, zero setup 1. catknows.app → "Get started", sign up with your email. 2. Click the link in the confirmation mail. It's mandatory. 3. Back on catknows.app: "account" (top right), sign in. 4. Click "Connect Skool". A real browser opens on Skool's own login page. Your password goes straight to Skool, never to me. 5. Add this to your AI as a custom connector: mcp.catknows.app/mcp Claude and ChatGPT: Settings → Connectors → add custom. Use a desktop browser for step 4. On phones the keyboard doesn't reach that window yet. Known bug, on the list. 💻 SELF HOSTED, free forever github.com/nklsschroeer707/catknows Needs Python and a terminal, or an AI that can drive one. This way also gets the vault: catknows writes what it fetches into Markdown on your disk, so it remembers. 😼 YOUR FIRST QUESTION "Which Skool communities am I in?" A list with roles and member counts means it all works. Then the real ones: "Who joined this month but never posted?" · "Which post got the most comments this week?" · "Summarize my unread DMs." 🔍 WHAT THIS IS, PLAINLY You're giving an AI your eyes, and only when you ask, your fingers. It sees exactly what you see when logged in. No more. It can post or DM for you, but every write shows you the text first and waits for your yes. Nothing is stored on my side. Fetched, answered, gone. Disconnect any time with one click. 💰 WHAT IT COSTS Self hosted: $0, forever. Hosted: free now, $7/month or $77/year once we hit 100 members. Everyone here before member 100 keeps it free, forever. Joining early is the whole discount. Something breaks? Post it. That's how most of this got built. ᓚᘏᗢ

let's talk about why you should NEVER pay for any skool tool again 🤘
