Psalm/AI employee/AI in action

Real sentences, real records

Say it in plain English.
Watch it get done.

Nothing below is a special command or a phrase you have to learn. They are the words you would use with a colleague, typed or spoken into the box at the bottom of the screen. Every one of them is something Smarty does today.

A morning with it

Eight things, before the kettle boils

“Who owes us money?”

The total outstanding, how much of it is overdue, and who the worst offender is, counted from your invoices this second. Then: “write the oldest one a chase” and there is a message waiting, with their name and the real figure in it, for you to send from your own phone.

“Quote the Ivy for 6 metres of Carrara worktop”

A drafted quotation, with the rate, the unit and the tax code read off your own price list. It has no number on it and it has gone nowhere. Open it, change what you like, and send it when you are happy.

“Which quotations are still open, and for whom?”

The list, by customer, with what each one is worth and how long it has been sitting there. Revised quotations are counted once rather than three times, which is the sort of thing a spreadsheet gets wrong quietly.

“Add Rosalind Pike at Northbank Studios

On the board at Enquiry, and a contact at the same time, so nobody types her in twice. Say who referred her and that goes on too.

The Ivy have said yes, mark it won”

Moved, and it tells you it was at Quoted before, in case that was not what you meant. Every change reports what the value used to be.

“Put the acrylic prices up five per cent”

It counts them first and asks before it starts, because forty records is a big thing to do on a guess. Then it does all forty while you make the tea.

A photograph of a supplier's price list

Take the picture, send it, ask what the delivery charge was. It reads the page. A customer's PDF specification works the same way, and it remembers the file for the rest of the conversation so the follow-up question still works.

“Move my logo to the left on quotations”

It changes how your documents print, there and then. Settings it is not allowed to touch become a ticket with the people who built Psalm, in your own words, with a reference you can quote.

On the phone, in the van

Speak it instead of typing it

Every field in Psalm has a microphone on it, and so does Smarty. Dictate the quotation on the drive back from the measure and it is drafted before you are home. It appends to what you have already written rather than replacing it, because somebody halfway through a sentence means “and also this”.

Ask on your phone and finish on the computer. The conversation lives on the account rather than in the tab, so it is the same thread either way, with the receipts of what changed still attached to it.
