Thursday, March 19 — Today at a Glance

A packed 10-meeting day anchored by the 2K x UX is Fine RFP Walkthrough at 1pm — a major new enterprise opportunity that needs your full prep. Yesterday's Staffing is Fine surfaced a time-sensitive AI/conversational UX opportunity requiring a decision by today, plus a new League inquiry for Jerome and Annie. Most urgent admin item: your Anthropic API access is disabled due to depleted credits — that needs a billing fix to unblock any AI tooling. Zynga's EOM report is confirmed due 3/31 and Kelly Kelly is ready for your attachment response.

🎯 Act Today
1PM MEETING 2K x UX is Fine — RFP Walkthrough

External Zoom call at 1:00–1:30pm CT. 2K is walking through an RFP — this is a significant enterprise opportunity. Be prepped and review any prior 2K context. Note: this conflicts with the Director Project Discussion (1–1:50pm) which is marked "if needed" — likely defer that meeting.

BILLING Anthropic API Access Disabled — Add Credits Now

Your Claude API org ("Jason's Individual Org") is out of usage credits and access has been disabled. This will block any API-dependent workflows. Add credits at the Anthropic billing page to restore access.

DECISION TODAY AI/Conversational UX Opportunity — Post to Team Channel

From Staffing is Fine: a 2-month engagement involving conversational AI UX + Godot implementation — potentially suited for Annie, Ryan, and Mike. Decision needed by today. Action: post details to Slack so team can discuss and confirm staffing. Also confirm if Annie and Ryan are viable given the pending League bridge contract inquiry.

ACTION REQUIRED Zynga EOM Report — Return Attachment by 3/31

Kelly Kelly (Zynga) confirmed bizdev@uxisfine.com is added for future communications. You need to complete and return the attached US EOM outsourcing report by Tuesday, March 31. This is a contractual deliverable for the Zynga engagement.

NEW LEAD Supersaurus — Garrett Martini Wants to Book

Garrett Martini (gmartini@supersaurus.com) responded to UXIF's Get In Touch form — he wants to book a Calendly ASAP and answered the intake questions. This came in via Ashley's outreach. A potential new game studio client — worth a quick reply or handoff to Ashley for booking.

MEETING FRIDAY Irena Pereira (Infinite Realms) — 9am Tomorrow

A meeting is confirmed with irena pereira (irena@infiniterealms.ai) tomorrow Friday Mar 20 at 9:00–9:30am CT. Prep: check Copper for any prior context on Infinite Realms and be ready for what sounds like an intro or exploratory chat.
