ChatGPT can read your tools. Timer remembers your company.
ChatGPT connects to Drive, SharePoint, Outlook, Slack and more, and searches them when you ask1. So why Timer? Because reading a file is not knowing what happened. Search finds what was written, for the person asking. Timer keeps what happens across your tools as it happens: linked, dated, for the whole company.

Yes, for a two-year term. The signed v3 replaced v2 on 14 Mar. Anything above 10% needs Dara, and she approved it on 27 Oct.

01 Search or memory
Search finds the files. Memory knows what is true now.
Search brings back every version that mentions Brennick, old and new, and leaves you to work out which one holds. Timer keeps the fact itself, with two dates: when it became true and when Timer learned it. When something changes, the old fact is not lost; it is marked as replaced.

02 Not everything is written down
Most of what matters was said, not filed.
The price agreed on a call. The promise made in a meeting. The decision taken in a chat thread. None of it sits in a document for search to find. ChatGPT captures a meeting when someone records it in its desktop app2. Timer keeps every meeting, decision, customer, deal and file as it happens, with its source and its dates.
03 Linked, not listed
Ask about one thing. The rest comes with it.
Search returns a list of files from each app. Timer links every entry to the people, customers, documents and decisions it touches, across all your tools.

04 The company's, not one person's
One memory, for everyone.
ChatGPT keeps a memory for each person3. Timer's memory belongs to the company. Your tools connect once, with credentials your organization owns, and Timer supports more than 300 of them. Everyone reads the same memory, each seeing only what they are allowed to see. When someone leaves, what they knew stays.
05 Yours, whatever the model
Models are engines. Memory is the map.
Engines change. Your company's memory should not change with them. Timer keeps it in the European Union, isolated for your organization, never used to train AI models, and exportable in full, readable without Timer. A person approves what Pallas proposes, and the record keeps both.
06 When ChatGPT is enough
Sometimes finding the file is the whole job.
If one person needs a document, and the document is the answer, ChatGPT's connected apps do that well1. Timer is for when the answer is not in one file: many people need the same answer, decisions are made on calls, things change, and people leave.
07 Questions
Questions people ask.
ChatGPT already connects to our tools. Why Timer?
ChatGPT searches those tools when someone asks1. Timer keeps what happened across them as it happens, links it, dates it and keeps it for the whole company.
Does ChatGPT already have memory?
It does, one memory per person3. Timer is the company's memory: every team, with sources, dates and permissions on every answer.
Do we have to give up ChatGPT?
No. Timer does not replace the assistant your people use. How Timer works with the assistant you already use
Is our data used to train AI models?
Timer never uses your company's memory to train AI models. For ChatGPT, check OpenAI's terms for your plan.
