User Persona: The Business Professional

Profile: Email management, meeting minutes, strategic planning, analysis, and executive communication. Primary Goal: Professionalism, clarity, speed, and confidentiality.

Recommended Setup

Providers

• Primary: GPT-5.4 or Claude Sonnet 4.6 for general business tasks, or OpenAI-Compatible pointed at your Azure OpenAI endpoint for corporate compliance requirements.
• Privacy: Local (Ollama) if dealing with strictly confidential financial data, M&A discussions, or HR matters.
• Speed: GPT-5.4 Mini or Gemini 3.5 Flash for quick formatting and non-sensitive drafts.

These are the frontier models Rephlo offers via the managed Dedicated API; GPT-5.5 and Claude Opus 4.8 require Pro Plus or higher. With your own key (BYOK) you can use any model your provider account supports.

Note: Azure OpenAI is connected through the OpenAI-Compatible provider type — choose OpenAI-Compatible and enter your Azure deployment endpoint as the Base URL and your deployment name as the Model Name. You still get Azure's enterprise-grade security, compliance, and regional data residency.

Pro Tips for Business Professionals

Handle Confidential Information with Care

For sensitive content (M&A discussions, personnel matters, financial forecasts, legal documents), switch to Ollama as your provider. This keeps all processing local on your machine—no data leaves your computer. Configure this in Settings > Providers.

Create Command Templates for Recurring Tasks

Business workflows are often repetitive. Create dedicated Commands for:

• Weekly status report formatting
• Monthly KPI summaries
• Quarterly review preparation
• Standard email response types

Save time by running the same polished Command instead of re-explaining your needs each time.

Use History for Audit Trails

Every execution in Rephlo is logged in History with timestamps. This provides:

• Documentation of when analyses were performed
• Reference for what inputs produced which outputs
• Ability to reproduce or refine previous work
• Evidence trail for compliance requirements

Access History from the left navigation panel to review past executions.

Leverage Multi-Turn Chat for Strategic Discussions

For complex strategic planning that requires back-and-forth refinement, use Multi-Turn Chat instead of one-shot Commands. Chat maintains conversation context, allowing you to:

• Iterate on business plans with follow-up questions
• Refine analyses based on new considerations
• Explore "what-if" scenarios in a natural dialogue

Confidentiality and Privacy Considerations

Data Sensitivity	Recommended Provider	Reason
Public information	Any cloud provider	Speed and quality
Internal documents	OpenAI-Compatible (Azure OpenAI)	Corporate compliance
Confidential (HR, Legal)	Ollama (Local)	Zero data transmission
Highly sensitive (M&A, Board)	Ollama (Local)	Complete privacy

Best Practice: Create separate Spaces for different sensitivity levels. Use the "Confidential" Space only with Ollama selected as the provider.

Suggested Command Groups

Organize your business Commands into functional groups for faster access:

Group Name	Commands
Communication	Polite Decline, Stakeholder Email, Follow-up Draft
Analysis	SWOT Analysis, Executive Summary, Risk Assessment
Reporting	Action Items, Board-Ready Format, KPI Summary
Meetings	Format Minutes, Agenda Creator, Decision Log

Create Command Groups in the Commands section by clicking "New Group" and dragging related Commands together.
