Orkestra

Ask questions about your firm in plain English. Every answer shows its sources.

Orkestra is the AI assistant in KPilot. It reads your P&L, projects, timesheets, invoices, deals, cash and people with your permissions, links every figure to its record, and asks before it changes anything.

Why is Lone Star losing money?

  • Reading an activity’s P&LACT-2025-H01
  • Reading an activity’s budget300 md, sold at 28.0%
  • Reading the team’s timesheets395 md logged

Lone Star’s margin at completion is −9.7%, against 28.0% sold 1. Two things moved it:

  • 95 days above the 300 planned, mostly the eight extra regional workshops 2 3
  • Four change requests delivered inside the fixed price, none billed 4

A change order of $58,400 would bring it back to 10.1%.

Questions

What can Orkestra read?

The P&L and its versions, activities, timesheets, invoices, deals and the sales forecast, cash and bank lines, and the people file. Always with your own rights.

Does it change anything on its own?

No. Every change is prepared as a preview and waits for you to approve, reject or modify it.

How do I know where a number comes from?

Each read is named in the answer’s steps, and each figure links to its record.

Can it read our files?

Yes: PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, images and text. Attach them to a conversation, or import them.

Does it remember me?

At your request, it keeps short notes on how you like answers. Notes hold preferences only. Figures are always read live.
