Step by step: Exa jobs you can hand to Flann

How a request turns into real Exa actions, one step at a time.

Get answers about your events

You message Flann on WhatsApp: “What is the latest on our events in Exa?”
Flann runs List events and Get Event in Exa and shows you what it found.
Nothing in Exa is changed: these are look-ups, so they run straight away.

Where Flann saves you time in Exa

Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Exa is connected.

Checking today against a normal day

Today

Midway through a quiet afternoon you wonder whether it is just today or the whole week. Opening Exa on your phone to check means pinching and zooming through charts.

With Flann

“Is today slower than a normal Tuesday? Check Exa.”

Today so far in Exa is set against the same day over recent weeks, and you get one line on whether you are behind, level or ahead. If you are behind, Flann says where.

What you stop doing: Pinching and zooming through charts on a small screen stops.

Building the monthly report

Today

Your accountant, partner or investor wants a monthly summary. You copy figures out of Exa into a document and format them, and it is always later than you promised.

With Flann

“Draft the monthly summary for my business partner from Exa.”

The month’s key figures come out of Exa, set against the previous month and the same month last year, with a short sentence on each change. You read the draft in the chat and ask for edits.

What you stop doing: Copying figures into a document every month is no longer your job.
