200 emails a day, two hours of triage, and the important one is still unread.
Meeting minutes captured by hand, every meeting
Internal meetings, client calls, and project reviews are minuted by someone in the room typing notes. After the meeting, that person cleans up the notes, extracts action items, emails the summary around, and files the doc.
- Volume
- dozens of meetings per week across the firm
- By hand
- 30-60 min of admin per meeting; action items occasionally missed
Calendar Tetris for external meetings
Scheduling any meeting with a client, supplier, or prospect kicks off a back-and-forth email thread — proposing times, checking availability, confirming, rescheduling when something changes. Slots still collide when two threads move in parallel.
- Volume
- dozens of scheduling threads per week per partner or executive
- By hand
- 15-30 min per meeting; double bookings and last-minute reshuffles
Partner or executive inbox triage
Partners and executives receive hundreds of emails per day. Someone reads each one to decide what's urgent, what to delegate, what to reply to, and what to archive. Important emails occasionally sit unread for days.
- Volume
- 100-500 emails per day per partner
- By hand
- 1-2 hours per day of triage; missed high-priority messages
Documents drafted from templates by hand
Recurring document types — NDAs, engagement letters, project reports, client proposals — are created by copying the last version and editing the variable parts by hand. Variables are missed, outdated clauses slip through, and version sprawl makes it unclear which file is the canonical one.
- Volume
- multiple documents per day across the firm
- By hand
- 20-60 min per document; version confusion; embarrassing errors
If any of these sound like your week, a small machine can probably fix it. I've built fixes for problems exactly like these.
I built software used by 50,000 people every month at KLM, NS, and BBVA. The work in this department is simpler than that.
