The problem it solves

Documents land in your shared drive needing review, but Word files open differently depending on the device, and manually converting each one to PDF and emailing it is a repetitive chore. It's easy to let files sit unreviewed.

Who it fits

Teams that receive documents into shared cloud storage and need a consistent, reviewable format sent to someone.

How it works

  1. A new Word document is added to your OneDrive folder
  2. The automation downloads the file
  3. It converts the document to PDF
  4. It emails the PDF to your chosen reviewer through Gmail
What you get

Documents that land ready for your reviewer

Every new document arrives in your reviewer's inbox as a polished PDF the moment it's created.

What you get

A PDF version of each new document, emailed automatically to a reviewer.

What you need

A Microsoft OneDrive account, a Foxit developer account, and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
