With November approaching, the next round of Shengcai Great Voyages is about to begin. I want to share my experience as a volunteer for the first time in August with fellow community members preparing to sign up. Last time, I was responsible for 39 crew members. Besides answering questions and handling daily communication, there were several recurring tasks: verifying assignment progress, filtering coach feedback on assignments, writing comments, entering data into Feishu, and finding people willing to share their experiences. I tried using Codex combined with Shengcai MCP and other available tools to participate in these tasks. A batch of likes and comments covered 30 crew members with submission records and 149 assignments. Later, I used AI for an initial screening of 10 contributors.
