Timelines from real messages
What happened, and when — built from the emails that prove it.
Turn months of scattered messages into a dated timeline: who said what, what was promised, what changed, and what went wrong — all linked back to the original messages.
Chronological timeline
Executive summary
Cast list
Decision log
The problem it solves
You can read through 200 emails yourself, or try to remember the sequence from your notes. Both approaches miss things and take forever.
Why this is different
SwarmMarshal reads the record, finds the key events, lines them up chronologically, and shows the message behind each entry. Every item is checkable.
When to use it
You need this when...
Reconstructing how a project went off track.
Explaining a long client or vendor history to someone new.
Preparing a project recap, case summary, or handoff memo.
Finding the turning points, not just the newest message.
Real examples
Here's exactly how it works.
Each example starts with a situation you've probably been in — and ends with the answer and where it came from.
Project postmortem
Situation
A project slipped for months and the team needs to know why.
You do
Scope the project folder, related people, and date range; ask for a narrative.
SwarmMarshal does
Finds milestones, delays, promises, blockers, decisions, and unresolved questions.
Output
A chronology plus an executive summary and supporting source list.
Relationship history
Situation
A customer relationship has become tense and nobody remembers the full arc.
You do
Ask for the relationship narrative by contact or company.
SwarmMarshal does
Builds the cast, recurring themes, promises made, and open issues.
Output
A readable history that links every important claim back to messages.
Handoff packet
Situation
A new person is taking over a matter or client.
You do
Ask for a handoff brief from all related sources.
SwarmMarshal does
Combines communication history, tasks, contact notes, and calendar context.
Output
A handoff memo with current status, risks, deadlines, and source links.
How to use it
Typical workflow
Start from a person, project, matter, folder, or search result.
Choose the artifact: summary, timeline, memo, handoff, recap, or open-questions list.
Review citations and remove sources that do not belong.
Regenerate after narrowing the scope or adding missing records.
How it works
Behind the scenes
Sources are grouped by time, sender, entity, and topic.
The system extracts candidate events, decisions, promises, and unresolved questions.
The assistant writes narrative sections while preserving links back to the source records.
Uncertain or inferred points should be labeled instead of presented as fact.
What you get out
The result is something you can actually use.
