📄

Partner Drafts Client Proposal

A partner is preparing a proposal for a potential client and needs current team capacity and relevant experience.

Action
Opens Word to draft proposal, asks Cognify in Co-Pilot: "Show me our corporate team's utilization and recent M&A deals"
Cognify Response
Returns formatted table with team capacity (82% utilized, can take new work) and list of 5 relevant recent matters with values and outcomes
Result
Partner inserts data directly into proposal with one click. What used to take 30 minutes of digging through systems now takes 30 seconds.
🔔

Intelligence Feed Alert

Monday morning, a partner is reviewing emails when an Intelligence Feed notification appears in Teams.

Alert
"Client ABC hasn't been invoiced in 45 days despite 12.5 hours of unbilled time—potential £4,800 revenue leak"
Action
Partner clicks "Investigate" to see matter details, realizes invoice was never generated due to administrative oversight
Result
Immediately instructs admin team to generate invoice. Revenue protected, client relationship maintained. Would have been missed without proactive alert.
✉️

Contextual Email Intelligence

A partner is composing an email to a long-time client about a new matter opportunity.

Context Detection
As partner types client name in Outlook, Cognify sidebar automatically shows: 3 active matters, £15K outstanding invoice (60 days overdue), relationship health score: "At Risk"
Decision
Partner realizes they should address payment issue before pitching new work. Adjusts email tone and approach accordingly.
Result
Potential awkward situation avoided. Partner addresses collections issue diplomatically, strengthening rather than damaging relationship.
