As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Callie Brennan trained Darren Blakey and Liam Corner on pages, search, chat and the admin panel before the first refresh. Liam said he was nervous about being admin; all four connectors were shown as ready.
What happened: Callie walked Darren and Liam through pages, search, chat and the admin panel on test data, ahead of switching on the refresh to real data. Four connectors were shown as ready: trade accounts, CRM, helpdesk and finance system.
Customer view: Darren said the team is checking three different systems and it is hurting them, so the brain's single view is the draw. Liam, who will be admin, said he was nervous about breaking something.
Commercial: This is a Starter-shaped deployment: 15 users and four connectors, which sits at the Starter connector limit. Any new source would need an add-on or an upgrade.
Watch: Admin knowledge rests on one person, Liam. Callie asked twice whether credentials were still current and only got a short confirmation, so a later connector failure is the likely weak point.

- Connector credentials were only confirmed verbally, so a later sync failure is possible.
Opportunities

Transcript
Callie BrennanHi both, thanks for joining. I can see you're coming in from Middlesbrough, yeah? How's your week been?
Darren BlakeyNot bad, you know. Busy. Liam and I have been trying to get ahead of go-live.- Callie BrennanGood, good. Right, so we've got 75 minutes and I want to walk you through the brain properly before we switch on the refresh to your real data. My plan is: we'll start with pages and search, then chat, then the admin panel so Liam knows what he's managing. Does that sound okay?
Liam CornerYeah, that works for us.- Callie BrennanBrilliant. So what I need from your side is, fire questions at me as we go. There's no such thing as a silly one. And Liam, you'll be our admin once we're live, keeping an eye on the connectors, yeah?
- Liam CornerThat's right. I've got to be honest, I'm a bit nervous about it. I want to make sure I don't break anything.
- Callie BrennanYou won't. The connectors are built to be resilient. But what I'll do is: before we switch on the refresh, I'm giving you a setup note that walks through every credential, every step, so you know exactly what you're looking at and how to fix it if something needs attention.
- Callie BrennanLet me share my screen. Can you both see the brain?
- Darren BlakeyYeah, we can.
- Callie BrennanOkay. So this is the home page on test data. See these three sections: trade accounts, delivery complaints, credit queries. You told me those are what you need to see in one place, yeah?
- Darren BlakeyThat's exactly it. Right now we're checking three different systems and it's killing us.
- Callie BrennanThat's why the brain is here. These pages are yours to build, too. Drag and drop. You want different cards, different order, different colours, you just do it.
- Callie BrennanNow, see the search bar. That maps cleanly to everything we've connected. So you could search 'customer name' or 'delivery issue' or, anything really.
- Liam CornerWhat if we want to add a field later, from one of the systems?
- Callie BrennanGood question. That's a connector config change. We do that together once you're live, first time, and then I'll leave you the checklist.
- Callie BrennanRight. So this is the chat. This is where your team asks questions about your data. You type in English...'how many orders did this customer place last month': and the brain answers, pulling from the systems we've connected.
- Darren BlakeyIs this instant?
- Callie BrennanIt queries fresh data every time. We refresh overnight, so anything that's come in during the day, you'll see first thing.
- Liam CornerAnd all 15 users can do this?
- Callie BrennanAll 15 can chat, search, build pages, the whole thing. What I'd suggest is: pick two or three power users to get really confident, then roll out to the rest of the team.
- Darren BlakeyThat makes sense.
- Callie BrennanRight. Before we switch on the refresh, I need to check that every connector credential is in place and correct. Can you both confirm that the access we talked through at kickoff is still live in your systems?
- Liam CornerYeah, we've got it all set.
- Callie BrennanPerfect. So here's what happens next. I'm sending you both a setup note, that's your reference guide for keeping the connectors running, Liam. Darren, you get a user guide for your team. Before we switch on the refresh, I'll test each connector, and then we're live.
- Darren BlakeyHow long does the refresh take?
- Callie BrennanFirst one can take a few hours depending on data volume. I'll tell you the day before, and you'll get a message in the brain once it's done.
- Liam CornerAnd if something goes wrong?
- Callie BrennanWe'll have support set up with you by then. But honestly, if the credentials are there and they're right, it's straightforward. And before we switch on, I'll have checked everything twice.
- Callie BrennanNow let me show you the admin panel. This is where you manage users, monitor the connectors, see the last refresh time. Right now it says 'awaiting first refresh'. Once we've run it, you'll see a timestamp. If any connector stops loading data, it'll flag here and tell you why.
- Liam CornerSo I can see all four connectors here?
- Callie BrennanThat's right. Trade accounts, CRM, helpdesk, finance system. All four are ready.
- Darren BlakeyIs there anything we should be doing before you flip the switch?
- Callie BrennanJust make sure the credentials are still current. If anything's changed since kickoff, let me know now and we'll update it. After that, we're ready. I'll test, you'll get your notes, and we'll go live early next week.
- Liam CornerBrilliant. Thanks for walking us through it.
- Callie BrennanNo problem. So to recap, setup notes and user guide from me by end of day. Liam, you'll hear from me Thursday with test results, and then we'll switch on the following week. Any last questions?
- Darren BlakeyNope, I think we're sorted.
- Liam CornerGood with me.
- Callie BrennanExcellent. Thanks both. Speak soon. Cheers, Callie.
