Replace our emigration lawyers with an evidentiary portfolio

Three family members, three nationalities, one move to Brazil.

Cross-app meeting workflow booked the event in the wrong time zone

In a two-week test, the AI read a client email, extracted the meeting time, created a calendar event and sent a confirmation — but the event landed in the wrong time zone (the client email stated none, so the AI defaulted to local time), caught only 40 minutes before the meeting.
