The problem it solves

Filling out a timesheet by hand after a day full of meetings is tedious, and it's easy to forget one or misremember how long it ran. You end up guessing at hours instead of logging what actually happened.

Who it fits

Teams that bill or track hours based on meetings and log time in Easy Redmine.

How it works

  1. You pick a date on a simple form
  2. The system fetches all your Outlook calendar events for that day
  3. Each meeting's subject and duration are calculated
  4. A matching time entry is created in Easy Redmine for every meeting
What you get

Every meeting logged without opening a timesheet

Your Outlook meetings for the day turn into finished time entries in Easy Redmine, so your timesheet is already filled in for you.

What you get

A set of accurate time entries in Easy Redmine matching your day's meetings.

What you need

A Microsoft Outlook account and an Easy Redmine 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.
