How Singular works, in detail.
Everything you need before deciding: how it works, integrations, security, timeline, measurement, contract.
Updated: October 2026
Overview
Singular builds, for each company, software that does the repetitive admin work: read and sort emails, request documents, prepare quotes and replies, follow up, keep files up to date. The team approves what was prepared.
Who it is for
Companies of 10 to 200 people whose teams spend a large share of their time on repetitive admin: insurance and mortgage brokers, property managers, distributors, technical services, financial services.
No in-house IT team is needed.
What you get
Software built on your rules, connected to your tools, with an interface where your team approves in one click.
A time-saved target written before we start, and a report every week.
What we do not do
No websites, no apps your team has to fill in, no day-rate billing, no projects for fewer than 10 people.
How it works
Every request follows the same cycle, from arrival to a finished, logged action.
1. Intake
ReadSingular reads what arrives in your usual channels: emails, attachments, PDFs, photos, forms, transcribed voicemails.
2. Understanding
AIIt identifies the intent (documents sent, price request, question, complaint), finds the client and the file, and extracts the useful information.
When it is not sure, it says so and hands you the request instead of guessing.
3. Preparation
RulesIt prepares the action set by your rules: file a document, request a missing one, draft a reply, prepare a quote, schedule a follow-up.
4. Approval
HumanDepending on the rule, the action runs on its own or waits for your approval. Sensitive matters (disputes, formal notices, bank detail changes) always go through a person.
5. Execution and log
LogThe action runs in your tools and is written to the log: what, when, on which data, approved by whom.
Under the hood
Proven modules, assembled for you. Every Singular build starts from the same building blocks, set up with your rules and your documents. We only write what is specific to your trade.
Email sorting
Reading, sorting, linking to the right client and file.
Missing documents
Document lists per file type, checks, requests.
Follow-ups
Email and SMS sequences that stop as soon as the client replies.
Quotes and documents
Generated from your templates, sent for e-signature.
Call notes
Calls and meetings summarized, tasks added to the file.
Weekly report
Actions taken, time saved, items to watch.
Rules and approval
Autonomy levels per task, sensitive matters blocked.
Connectors
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, IMAP, files, APIs, exports.
Rules and autonomy levels
You decide, task by task, what Singular does on its own. Rules can be changed at any time.
On its own
Level 1For risk-free tasks: file a document, acknowledge receipt, answer “where is my file”.
To approve
Level 2The action is prepared; you approve or edit it in one click. This is the default setting at launch.
Never
Level 3Some actions are forbidden to the software whatever the rule: for example, changing bank details.
Earning trust
A task approved many times without edits can move to “On its own”. You always decide.
Integrations
Singular connects to what you already use. We check each connection during the assessment, before any commitment.
Microsoft 365 (Outlook), Google Workspace (Gmail), or any standard mail server (IMAP / SMTP).
Documents
FilesSharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, file servers. Documents are filed where your team already looks for them.
Business software, CRM, ERP
API or exportDirect connection when the software allows it (API), otherwise file import and export, or prepared entries to approve.
Signature and delivery
OptionalE-signature, SMS, PDF generation from your templates.
Spreadsheets
ExcelExcel or Google Sheets files used as references (prices, lists, trackers) can be read and updated.
Security and data
The rules that apply to every installation, without exception.
In your accounts
OwnershipThe software runs in accounts in your name. The code, the automations and the data belong to you.
Least access
AccessEach connection only has the rights its task needs. Access is listed and can be revoked at any time.
No model training
AIYour data is never used to train an AI model. The AI provider and the processing region are named in writing in the agreement, before anything starts.
Full log
TraceabilityEvery action is written to the log and can be reviewed: what was read, prepared, sent, and who approved it.
GDPR
ContractA data processing agreement (GDPR article 28) is signed with every client. Personal data is only kept as long as needed.
Reversible
ExitIf you stop, you keep the software, the code and the documentation. No lock-in.
Project timeline
A first piece of software live in three weeks, then one task after another.
30-minute call
Day 0We look at your tasks together. You leave with a written summary, whether you work with me or not.
Assessment
5 daysMap of time spent per task, three costed projects, a demo on your real files, a written time-saved target. Fixed price, deducted from what follows.
Build
3 weeksThe software is built and connected to your tools. A short check-in every week. Launch in “approve everything” mode.
Go-live
Week 4One-hour onboarding with the team. The weekly report starts.
Ongoing
MonthlyHosting, monitoring, adjustments. When the target is met, we move to the next task.
Measuring time saved
Time saved is not an estimate: it is calculated from what the software actually did.
Reference time
During the assessment, we measure how long each task takes by hand (for example: requesting a document, 6 minutes).
Counted actions
Every action Singular runs is counted in the log, per task.
Calculation
Time saved = number of actions × reference time. The detail is visible in each weekly report.
Pricing and contract
A fixed price, known before we start. No time-and-materials billing.
Assessment
Fixed pricePaid on order, deducted from setup if you continue within 30 days.
Setup
Fixed pricePaid upfront (part on signature, the balance at go-live) or monthly.
Maintenance
MonthlyHosting, monitoring, fixes and adjustments. No commitment after three months.
Guarantee
ResultIf the time-saved target is not met 30 days after go-live, I keep adjusting the software at no extra cost until it is.
