She Didn't Need the Basics. So We Skipped Them.

Most first training sessions with Decodefy follow the same pattern. Walk through the platform. Show how to ask a question. Demonstrate what good output looks like. Ease in gently.

Nikki's session lasted just over an hour. By the end of it, she'd saved herself 3–4 hours every single week.

Here's what happened.

She Already Knew How to Talk to AI

Nikki runs her own mortgage brokerage. She uses ChatGPT regularly. She uses Canva AI. She knows her way around these tools.

So when she logged in and saw the microphone button, she just... clicked it. Started talking. Described what she needed like she was briefing a colleague.

That almost never happens on a first session.

Most people type carefully. Edit before they send. Treat it like a search engine. Nikki spoke to it like a person - and got a person-quality response back. Within minutes, the platform had produced a full first-meeting client interview script: covering why clients should choose her over other brokers, the fact-find process, how to handle objections. Tagged, saved, ready to use.

We didn't need to spend an hour on the basics. So we didn't.

The Thing That Was Eating Her Week

About halfway through the session, the conversation turned to compliance.

Nikki completes six or seven file notes a week. Each one follows the same structure - applicant details, product type, mortgage term, lender rationale, fee disclosure, protection referral, solicitor details. It's not complicated. But it takes time. Roughly 30 minutes per note, every time, because she's building it from scratch in Word.

That's up to three and a half hours a week. On admin she's done hundreds of times before.

She pasted her existing Word template into Decodefy. We asked the platform to build a fast capture skill - a content brief that lives permanently in her account - so she only needs to drop in the key case details and the full compliant file note writes itself.

We tested it live. Complete file note in moments. Then, without being asked, the platform went one step further - it researched and added product rationale: specific reasons why a two-year fixed rate made more sense than a five-year deal for this type of borrower, at this point in the rate cycle.

Nikki looked at it for a moment.

"That saves me about 30 minutes per note."

Six or seven notes a week. That's 3–4 hours. Back.

What That Actually Means

It's not just the time - though the time matters. It's what the time was spent doing. Nikki wasn't doing anything wrong writing those notes manually. She was doing exactly what every careful broker does. She just didn't need to anymore.

The brief is saved. It's there every time she starts a new session. She turns it on, drops in the case details, gets a complete compliant note back. Then she checks it, adjusts if needed, and moves on.

She also left the session planning to build a second brief - for protection appointments. Same approach, different structure. She'll build it herself, using the mortgage one as a template.

They don't need much prompting to find the next use for it.
