1. LinkedIn Founder Post¶

What: Benoit posts on LinkedIn announcing the launch Copy: "I built CorpusIQ because I was tired of AI hallucinating my business numbers.

ChatGPT is powerful. But it has no idea what's actually happening in your Shopify, HubSpot, or QuickBooks. It guesses.

So we built a validation layer. Before any AI sees your data, CorpusIQ verifies every number. Source-cites every answer. Prevents the AI from inventing metrics.

133 pre-built skills. 37 connectors. One Slack integration. Read-only by design.

30-day free trial. No credit card. → corpusiq.io"

Action: Post to Benoit's LinkedIn (not CorpusIQ Page)

2. Customer Testimonials¶

What: Collect quotes from existing users Who to ask: Kent Thomas (4P Tactical), Christina Duvarney (Beautiful Disaster) Action: Email them asking for 1-sentence quote we can publish Template: "Would you be willing to write 1-2 sentences about your experience with CorpusIQ? We're launching publicly and need real user voices."

3. Slack App Directory -- Review & Approvals¶
