It started with a mountain of data. Five years worth of over 1,430 to-and-fro emails, 27 recorded (with prior approval) meetings, lots of documents exchanged down the project history plus dozens of WhatsApp text messages between different parties. And an upcoming arbitration meeting set to bring matters to a conclusion. Claims and counter claims queued up.
All the data sources were downloaded into one NotebookLM notebook. Connected the clients Hotmail/Outlook account to a Windows instance on Amazon AWS and used a plugin to download emails, 200-230 at a time into PDF form. Then merge all together.
PDF planning documents including photos loaded straight in. Then took screen shots of all the WhatsApp interactions using Gemini, which correctly attributed the authors either side of converstations along with the dates and times when the messages occurred.
In the early days of the project, requests to list out correspondance timelines of all traffic. - including date/time, who from, who to and the message content - missed both early and late dates. Hence I wrote a Python program to generate these thoroughly and to output the result directly into a Google sheets spreadsheet.
Later in the project, Google dramatically increased window size spans, allowing full corrrespondance timelines to be generated directly into Google sheets. It also became adept at being able to summarise timelines around payment flows and amounts as cited by both parties.
At the arbitration meeting, the ability to specify precisely what occurred and when, and to answer and refute opposing suppositions (with pointers to the source material proof points) resulted in what my client described as "several jaw drops" on the other side of the table.
End result was a successful award of several tens of thousands of pounds.
Have you got volumes of information you need to query and get pithy answers from with almost zero effort on your part? All grounded solely on information you provide and with no hallucinations? Not only is that possible, but there are a wide variety of presentation outputs that can be generated to summarise your data and documents available to you also.
