BOT TEMPLATE
Pushes today manifest, weather, site conditions, and briefing notes to every guide mobile app at start of shift.
Adventure guides - rafting, climbing, canyoning, surf, mountaineering - need sharp, current information every morning.
Adventure guides - rafting, climbing, canyoning, surf, mountaineering - need sharp, current information every morning. Today's manifest, weather and river/surf/rock conditions, group ability levels, special requirements, gear status, anything changed overnight. Delivered manually that's 30+ minutes of ops-manager work per day, and when you have multiple guides and multiple sites it's the kind of thing that breaks down exactly when the stakes are highest.
The Adventure Guide Daily Briefing Bot systematises the morning. At 6am the bot compiles per-guide briefs: today's participants with medical notes, weather and site-specific conditions (river cfs, surf size, rock wetness), gear-issue updates from yesterday, guide assignments and safety-guide backups, and any operational notes. Delivered to each guide's app with a structured format, audit-logged for compliance.
The compounding value is in risk reduction. A briefed guide is a safer guide; a guide who reads yesterday's brief is a guide running a stale plan. Insurance and regulatory documentation of daily briefings becomes automatic, which matters more than most operators realize - after an incident, the briefing log is one of the strongest pieces of operational defense you have.
Below is the full bot spec: trigger, tools, brief structure, and how to customize per-activity-type content (rafting gets river flow, climbing gets rock conditions, surf gets wave period).
Paste it into Dash Bots and Dash builds the bot: tools, logic and trigger.
On trigger, the bot runs these steps in order. Any step can be customized by re-prompting.
All bookings for today with participant details, medical notes, groups.
Aggregated forecast from multiple sources.
River flow, surf size, rock/trail conditions per activity.
Any operational updates, gear issues, policy reminders.
Structured briefing with key items highlighted.
Push notification, in-app brief, optional email fallback.
The bot uses the standard Dash Bots tool library. Every tool call is logged.
Structured automation beats manual follow-up in three ways:
Customizations by re-prompting in plain English: change the trigger timing or conditions, adjust the recipient list, tune thresholds, modify tone, add approval gates, connect additional channels (SMS, WhatsApp) if available. Run in approval mode for the first week to build confidence before switching to autonomous.
Set this bot up on your first week. Run in approval mode for five days while you watch the outputs, then flip to autonomous. The ROI compounds across a full season - a quiet automation that simply does the right thing, every time, without anyone having to remember.
Email fallback. Escalation alert if brief unread by start-of-shift time.
