You got into community for the people, not the busywork. Community managers are being squeezed from two directions: executives asking why humans are needed at all, and AI eating the search traffic that once proved community value. This show makes the affirmative case, not by rejecting AI, but by getting precise about what it can and cannot do. AI can answer most questions, store collective memory, and scale parts of the work. It cannot build trust, read a room, mediate conflict, or create the relational fabric that makes communities matter. AI supports answers. Humans build trust. Each week, host Chris Heuer (30+ years building communities online, offline and in global enterprises) and co-host Marius Ciortea talk with practitioners, builders, and skeptics about which parts of the work belong to AI agents, which stay irreducibly human, and how to tell the difference. The show is supported by the Work Map, an open inventory of nearly 300 community management jobs classified as Human, Agent, or Hybrid. Topics include AI tools for community managers, agents and automation, member engagement, trust and moderation, community strategy, proving community value, and the future of the profession. If you manage a community and you're deciding what to hand to AI and what to keep, this show is for you. Sponsored by Higher Logic. Every episode ends includes actionable tactics you can use.

Humans Trust AI. AI Trusts Humans
Aug 21, 202637 minS1
<p>Community managers built their case on traffic. AI is taking that traffic. Chris Heuer and Marius Ciortea open Season 1 with the shift underneath it: AI trusts human answers, humans increasingly trust AI, and the signals that make community content credible are signals only community managers can create.</p>
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
