The Lantern
Your AI review queue — every forwarded email and WhatsApp message, structured and ready for approval.
The Lantern is where forwarded emails, WhatsApp messages and voice logs land after RepBud's AI has processed them. Each entry arrives pre-structured with extracted contacts, action items, key topics and suggested follow-ups. You review, edit if needed, and approve — committing the clean data to your CRM. Nothing enters your contact book or Trail without your say-so.
What The Lantern does for you
AI-structured entries
Every forwarded email or WhatsApp screenshot is processed by AI — extracting the contact, company, key discussion points, pricing mentions and follow-up commitments into a structured entry.
Human-in-the-loop approval
Nothing goes into your CRM automatically. You review every AI extraction, edit anything that needs adjusting, and approve before it commits. RepBud assists — you decide.
Inline editing with @mentions
Edit log entries and action items directly in the review queue. Use @mentions to link contacts, companies and clients — with fuzzy search as you type.
Contact matching and creation
RepBud matches extracted contacts to your existing database. If it is a new contact, you can create them directly from The Lantern without switching screens.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is The Lantern in RepBud?
The Lantern is RepBud's AI review queue. When you forward an email or WhatsApp conversation to RepBud, the AI extracts structured data — contacts, action items, topics — and presents it in The Lantern for your review and approval.
Why does RepBud require approval before saving?
RepBud is designed to assist, not replace, your professional judgement. The Lantern ensures you always have the final say on what enters your CRM — maintaining data quality and trust.
Can I edit the AI extraction before approving?
Yes. Every field is editable — the log entry text, each action item, priority, due date, contact assignment and client linking. You have full control.
What happens after I approve an entry?
The log is saved to your interaction history and any action items are added to The Trail as follow-ups — linked to the correct contacts and clients.
How do I forward emails to The Lantern?
Forward any email to your personal RepBud logging address (shown in your profile). RepBud processes it and the entry appears in The Lantern within seconds.
Does The Lantern handle WhatsApp messages?
Yes. Screenshot your WhatsApp conversation and forward it to your RepBud address, or upload the screenshot directly in the app. The AI extracts the conversation and structures it for review.
