Most systems make you work for information. You click, filter, scroll, and search. The process takes longer than the answer. TODD changes that. Instead of navigating screens, you talk to it. You ask questions about your work, and TODD responds like someone who knows what’s going on inside your organization.
Dashboards Don’t Talk Back
Every platform promises insight, but insight buried under buttons isn’t insight — it’s overhead.
You don’t need another reporting tool or dashboard. You need a system that listens — a pre-CRM, conversational layer that gives you answers fast.
TODD’s Assistant Box is the conversation layer of your business. It replaces dashboard hunting with real-time dialogue. You ask, TODD answers.
- “Who works at Accenture?”
- “When is John Smith’s birthday?”
- “What did I say in my last email to Joe Blow?”
- “Show me everyone I met this month.”
No filters. No exports. Just a straight answer.

What Makes the Assistant Box Different
Most chat systems feel like toys. They sound smart but don’t know anything.
TODD isn’t guessing — it’s working with your live business data.
The Assistant Box connects directly to your contacts, notes, tasks, and communication records.
When you ask a question, TODD doesn’t run a web search. It looks at your system, your people, your context — and gives you the real answer.
It’s not a chatbot. It’s your business brain on call.
Ask. Act. Adjust.
TODD doesn’t stop at answers. It can take action.
That’s where a Business Momentum System outperforms every CRM on the market.
You can say:
- “Create a task to follow up with Joe.”
- “Add a note that we met at the conference.”
- “Send an intro email to everyone from the Seattle Chamber.”
And it happens. No need to switch screens or fill out forms.
You just keep the conversation going — and TODD keeps the work moving.

Context That Feels Human
If you’re viewing Accenture’s page and you type “Show me everyone here,” TODD already knows what here means. It understands context from your screen.
It’s like talking to someone in the room with you who’s paying attention.
That’s the difference between conversation and command.
Other systems wait for perfect phrasing. TODD understands intent. Whether you type “Who works at Accenture?” or “List the Accenture people,” the result is the same — quick, precise, useful.
Training TODD to Understand You
Every organization speaks its own language.
Some call deals “opportunities.” Others call them “moves.” Some use “client.” Others say “member.” TODD learns your vocabulary.
When Taliferro configures TODD for you, we train it around your words, your workflows, and your priorities.
That means when you say “Add a move,” TODD knows you mean a pipeline step — not a note or a document.
It adapts to your rhythm. You don’t adapt to it.
A System You Don’t Have to Learn
The best part of the Assistant Box is that there’s nothing to learn.
If you can ask a question, you can use TODD.
You don’t memorize commands or menus. You just talk naturally.
That simplicity opens the door for everyone — from executives to interns — to interact with your business data without the need for training.
The result: fewer bottlenecks, faster collaboration, and less friction between people and their information.
From Talking to Doing
Every conversation with TODD builds momentum.
When you ask “What’s due today?” you’re not just getting an answer — you’re getting a nudge to act.
TODD’s goal isn’t to talk. It’s to move.
That’s what makes the Assistant Box the core of the Business Momentum System:
It keeps your organization in motion, using natural conversation as the interface.
Real-World Example
You log into TODD and type:
“Show me all contacts added this week.”
It lists them instantly.
You notice one looks interesting and say:
“Send a follow-up email.”
TODD drafts it on the spot. You tweak it and hit send.
Next you ask:
“Create a task to check in next week.”
Done.
Three actions, one conversation, no menus.
That’s how you build momentum — through flow, not friction.
Why Talking Beats Clicking
People think faster than they click.
When tools require 10 clicks for one action, teams slow down.
Conversation removes friction. It frees the human side of work — judgment, creativity, relationship-building — from the grind of software steps.
TODD turns every question into progress.
FAQs
Is the Assistant Box like ChatGPT?
No. ChatGPT is general. TODD is personal. It knows your contacts, tasks, and notes — and acts inside your workspace.
Can I train TODD for my own organization?
Yes. Taliferro configures TODD to understand your workflow, vocabulary, and data model.
Can TODD perform actions or only answer questions?
It does both. It can find information, create tasks, add notes, write emails, and suggest next steps.
Does TODD learn over time?
Yes. It adapts to how you phrase requests and what actions you perform most often.
