It knows your business from the apps you have connected, so the request it sends to Cody is specific and the results need less fixing.

Repetitive Cody work Flann takes off your plate
These are the jobs that come back every day or every week. Message Flann instead, and keep the decisions for yourself.
Transcribe and summarise a call
Today
Long supplier calls and meetings end with a recording nobody listens to again. The decisions get lost.
With Flann
“Transcribe this recording and give me the decisions and who owes what.”
Flann sends the recording to Cody for transcription and reads the result itself. You get the decisions, the actions and who agreed to each, in a few lines.
What you stop doing: Replaying recordings to remember what was agreed is a thing of the past.
Research before a decision
Today
Before choosing a supplier or a new product line, you read around for an evening and still feel unsure.
With Flann
“Research three local packaging suppliers and compare delivery times and minimum orders.”
Flann asks Cody to gather the information, then checks the sources it returns. You get a short comparison with links you can open yourself.
What you stop doing: An evening of open tabs and scribbled notes is no longer the price of a decision.
