Where Flann saves you time in Cohere
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Cohere is connected.
Images for this week’s post
Today
You need a picture for a promotion. Making one means opening another app, trying prompt after prompt and downloading files.
With Flann
“Make three image options with Cohere for our weekend brunch post.”
Flann writes a clear brief from what you said and what it knows about your business, then asks Cohere for the images. The options arrive in the chat so you can pick one or ask for changes.
What you stop doing: No more wrestling with a design tool for a single picture.
Sorting a backlog of reviews
Today
Old enquiries, reviews and support emails pile up. Reading them all to find the ones that matter is a job for a quiet week that never comes.
With Flann
“Use Cohere to sort last month’s reviews into praise, problems and questions.”
Flann passes the reviews to Cohere for sorting and reads the result before reporting. You get the groups with examples, and complaints are routed to the right person on your team.
What you stop doing: The backlog stops being something you mean to get round to.
