Natalia Quintero, Every's AI use case

Operator / consultant at Every

Uses an internal AI agent called Claudie to help manage consulting and project-management work, keeping track of client context, next steps, deliverables, and follow-ups.

The problem

What was broken before AI

Consulting and project-management work creates a lot of context debt. Client notes live in one place, deliverables in another, Slack messages somewhere else, and decisions often get buried in meetings or docs. The operator has to keep track of who needs what, what changed, what was promised, and what should happen next. That mental load grows quickly across multiple clients or projects.

What changed

What the use case made possible

Natalia’s workflow gives project context a more active assistant. Claudie can help summarize what happened, track next steps, organize client context, and prepare updates. Instead of starting from a blank page every time someone asks where a project stands, the agent can turn accumulated context into a useful brief, checklist, or follow-up draft. The human still manages the relationship and judgment; AI handles more of the recall and coordination work.

Why this matters

Why this use case is worth studying

This use case is valuable because it shows AI helping with the invisible work that makes service businesses run. Consulting quality is not only the final deliverable. It is also the follow-through, the context, the updates, and the ability to remember what matters to each client. AI can make that operating layer less fragile when it has access to the right project context and a clear job.

Use this when

When this pattern applies

Use this pattern when client or project work depends on context scattered across docs, messages, meetings, and memory. It works especially well when the same questions keep coming up: what happened, what changed, what is next, who owns it, and what should we tell the client?

Exponential Builder analysis

01

Context is the real bottleneck.

The work gets easier when AI has a reliable project record to read from, because most project-management drag comes from reconstructing what happened and what was promised.

02

AI is best used as a coordination layer.

In this workflow, the agent turns notes, decisions, and messages into summaries, next actions, and follow-up drafts while the human keeps ownership of judgment, tone, and client trust.

03

Corrections are part of the system.

Each reviewed summary or fixed action list should go back into the project record, because the workflow improves when human judgment leaves cleaner context behind for the next pass.

What to avoid

Mistakes and warnings

Where this pattern can go wrong if you copy it too literally.

Do not let AI send client communication without review.

Avoid using an agent if the project context is scattered or outdated.

Keep sensitive client information inside approved tools.

Do not confuse a clean summary with real project progress.

Make sure decisions and corrections get saved back into the project record.

Public workflow preview

The shape of the workflow

A high-level look at how the use case works, with the reusable pattern made clear.

01

Give each project a context home

Client goals, notes, decisions, deliverables, and open questions need a place where the agent can read them.

02

Use AI to summarize the current state

Claudie turns scattered context into a concise project brief or status update.

03

Pull out the next actions

The workflow identifies owners, deadlines, open loops, and follow-ups that need attention.

04

Draft communication from context

Updates, check-ins, and client-facing notes can start from the project history instead of memory.

05

Keep the human as the relationship owner

AI organizes and drafts, but the operator decides what to send, how to frame it, and what matters most.

Copy the pattern

The reusable idea

Pattern in one sentence

Use AI as a project-memory layer that turns scattered client context into summaries, next actions, and human-reviewed follow-ups.

Reusable idea

Natalia’s workflow is a reminder that project management gets easier when context becomes reusable. If you keep answering the same questions — what happened, what changed, what is next, what do we owe the client — those answers should not live only in your head. Give AI the project record and a narrow job: help you remember, summarize, and follow through.

Steal this workflow

Use a “project context loop” for one client:

1

Create one project home with goals, deliverables, notes, decisions, deadlines, owners, open questions, and prior updates.

2

Before each meeting or milestone, ask AI for a project-state brief: goals, recent progress, open decisions, blockers, risks, and next actions.

3

Review the brief and correct anything stale, missing, or overconfident.

4

Ask AI to extract open loops: who owes what, what needs a decision, what needs a follow-up, and what should be saved to the project record.

5

Use the cleaned context to draft the client update or meeting agenda.

6

After the meeting or update, save new decisions, promises, deadlines, and questions back into the project home.

Suggested prompt

“You are helping me manage this consulting project. Using only the project context below, create a concise project-state brief with: 1) client goals, 2) recent progress, 3) key decisions made, 4) open questions, 5) risks or blockers, 6) next three actions with owners if available, and 7) items that should be clarified before I send a client update. If the context does not support an answer, say what is missing instead of guessing. Project context: [paste goals, notes, deliverables, meeting notes, messages, decisions, deadlines, and prior updates].”
