The Den Family Social, a Denver-based social club for parents, grew from founder Chandler Lipe's own transition into parenthood. As the business expanded to a second location, Chandler turned to ChatGPT Work to manage the increasing administrative load. Her small team now saves 10-15 hours a week and prepares licensing and grant applications in hours instead of days.
Using Gmail, Slack, and Google Drive plugins, The Den's team asked ChatGPT Work to gather and analyze information from across the business. For example, when a liquor-license hearing slot suddenly opened, ChatGPT Work helped pull together documents, identify missing items, and convert files into required formats. Work that would have taken four days was condensed into three hours of team review.
The Den also uses the same workflow for time-sensitive grant opportunities, reducing application time from three days to two hours. Leaders use ChatGPT to think through questions and develop proposals, saving Chandler about 7 hours of exploratory conversations a week. As the club expands, Chandler uses ChatGPT Voice to turn travel time into productive work. The Den plans to explore Codex to build customized systems, including a member app and Slack alerts.
