The problem it solves

The relevant information may be scattered across accounts, documents, and notes. Gathering it for a question takes work, and a missing correction can change the answer.

Why this is different

Talavine finds relevant information in your data hub to help answer the question. Open the supporting records and check what is known, inferred, or still missing.

When to use it

You need this when...

Finding the answer to a question when you only remember the gist.
Preparing for a call without rereading every related thread.
Turning a selected thread, sender, folder, search result, or date range into a cited brief.
Deciding what needs action today with source links behind the recommendations.
Real examples

Here's exactly how it works.

Each example starts with a situation you've probably been in, and ends with the answer and where it came from.

Client promise check

Situation
A client says your team promised a different delivery date.
You do
Ask: "What did we promise Acme about delivery dates?" and scope it to Acme plus the last 90 days.
Talavine does
Searches messages, attachments, calendar invites, and contact history; separates exact quotes from inference.
Output
A short answer with citations, dates, source links, and a suggested follow-up reply.

Meeting prep

Situation
You have a meeting in 20 minutes and cannot remember the backstory.
You do
Ask for a meeting brief from the attendee, calendar event, and related recent messages.
Talavine does
Finds prior decisions, unresolved questions, promises, and relevant files.
Output
A skimmable prep note with open issues and links to the supporting records.

Daily workbench brief

Situation
Your day has unread mail, tasks, approvals, and calendar pressure.
You do
Click Ask Sources on Today.
Talavine does
Builds a source-grounded plan that distinguishes facts, assumptions, and agent suggestions.
Output
A prioritized brief plus suggested timelines, memos, replies, or follow-ups to create.
How to use it

Typical workflow

  1. Pick a scope: all sources, a person, thread, folder, search result, date range, project, or selected messages.
  2. Ask the question in normal language.
  3. Open the cited sources before trusting any important claim.
  4. Convert the answer into a timeline, memo, packet, reply, task plan, or workspace.
How it works

Behind the scenes

  1. Hybrid search retrieves likely sources by keyword, meaning, sender, date, and relationship context.
  2. The assistant receives the source set with metadata and source references.
  3. Material claims are expected to point back to messages, files, tasks, events, or notes.
  4. Consequential actions still pass through approval gates.
What you get out

The result is something you can actually use.
