[News Brief] OCR Progress, Internal Tool Demos, and “The Algorithm” Update
Office Hours Recap: a practical walkthrough of the tools we are building and using right now.
We covered updates on the contract analysis project, demoed two internal learning and productivity platforms, and looked at the latest features for automating social presence.
Here is the recap of what was discussed.
Contract Analysis: The Move to GraphRAG
We checked in on the ongoing project to help Account Management deal with massive, complex legacy contracts. Jaime Alvarez highlighted the difficulty of tracking terms across 300 page agreements that have been modified by dozens of amendments.
David Proctor shared his technical progress. He found that standard methods like OCR and basic RAG were not capturing the relationships between the original clauses and the amendments effectively.
“Then I was like, that’s a graph rag solution... you really wanted to understand relationships.”
Current Challenges
Entity Overload: The system identified over 7,000 entities in the test documents, making it difficult to distinguish key parties.
Context Loss: Jaime noted that when processing huge files, Claude Code sometimes loses context. It forgets which party it represents (Trilogy) and starts giving advice as if it were the customer.
Internal Tool Demos: LearnLens & BrainLift
I walked through two internal tools developed by Trilogy Innovations.
1. LearnLens Studio
A tool designed to fast track learning. Instead of searching for videos manually, it curates a specific path.
The Benefit: It cuts down research time significantly. David noted that a 2 hour session felt as productive as 10 hours of manual searching because it serves up the most relevant content immediately.
2. BrainLift Space
A replacement for Workflowy that integrates AI heavily into the outlining process.
Import Feature: You can import raw text or existing lists, and the system automatically tags them with Domain of Knowledge (D1-D4) tags.
AI Review: It includes a feature labeled Co-pilot (which got some laughs for the branding) that evaluates the structure of your arguments and suggests refinements.
“The Algorithm” V2
David Proctor showed the latest version of his X (Twitter) automation tool. It has moved from simple auto liking to a more sophisticated content engine.
Key Updates
Focus Mode: Allows you to tag specific people, like colleagues, to ensure you generate replies to their posts automatically.
Mood Toggles: You can set the tone of your replies (e.g. “Dry Wit” or “Helpful”) to keep interactions sounding authentic.
Drafting: You can now upload a CSV of pre written posts to schedule them out rather than relying solely on AI generation.
Platform Safety Note
The group agreed that while this works for X, browser automation should not be used on LinkedIn. The risk of getting your account banned is too high. For LinkedIn, use the tools to generate the content but post it manually or via official APIs.
New Format: “Three Questions”
We are shifting our interview format for 2026. I introduced Three Questions, a short 15 minute interview style designed to cut through the noise.
“Keeping it to that 15 minutes, three questions... boil it down and get what’s really granularly important.”
The goal is to focus on specific, spiky points of view rather than long conversations. Sign ups are open now for anyone who wants to participate.
