How Consulting Firms use it

1

Before a steering committee, a partner asks who agreed to widen the scope and when, and the answer opens the mail at its moment.

2

A client report dated last spring, filed only this week, stands at its own date on the timeline, not the day it was filed.

3

A new engagement manager takes over a client and plays the relationship from the first inquiry to the latest deliverable.

REAL AI - the whole Front Office is AI, not old software with an AI button.

The story

Engagement history for consulting firms, in date order

One lane per kind

Mail, documents, calls, bookings, records, the calendar and pictures, each a lane, every moment a marker at its date.

Step, play or drag

First, previous, play, next and last; step by a moment, a day, a week or a month, or drag the red cursor.

Who said it, and where

Ask who said a thing and when; the answer cites the mail, the call or the page and opens it at its moment.

Printed for the meeting

A project chronology for consultants to bring along: the whole story on your letterhead, ready for a steering committee, a handover or the client file.

Questions & answers

AI Time Machine for Consulting Firms: questions & answers

How is an engagement timeline built?

Ask the AI Team Assistant about a client or a project, then press TIME MACHINE: every dated moment the answer gathered is laid out in lanes for mail, documents, calls and bookings, records, the calendar and pictures.

Where do the dates come from?

From your records only: the mail and mailboxes, the File Cabinet, the calls, the bookings and the calendar. A document stands at the date written in it, so a report filed late still sits where it belongs.

Is each recap written from memory?

No. The recap of a moment is written from the record it points to, and beside it you read the mail itself, the page with the passage lit or the transcript of the call.

Does the timeline grow as the engagement goes on?

Yes. Refresh lays new mail and new documents that arrived after the answer on the same timeline, marked new, so the consulting engagement chronology keeps up with the work.
