It did not make business processes better. Every employee now has an AI assistant, and each one helps a single person finish a single task. Businesses run on processes that cross people, divisions and systems. A faster individual does not make the process faster, cheaper or safer. Without a map and a price per step, teams fund pilots that never pay back, or let agents act with no limits and no record. The way forward ## Map it. Price it. Automate what pays. Govern every step. - ### Map the process One living map of how the work runs today, across people and systems. - [ ### Price every step Active time, wait time, role and cost per hour, with what-if controls.

Transcript Meet Rigel by CoWorQ, your guided partner for turning an early product idea into a clear direction and then into a practical requirements document. Let's follow one idea from start to finish. Everything starts on work with Rigel in QRION Studio. You pick the kind of help you need. A brainstorming session or a product requirements document. We'll begin by brainstorming. Rigel opens the conversation on its own and asks how you'd like to work as a facilitator, as a creative partner, or by generating ideas for you. Our example is a small home services company. Customers request a quote then don't know what happens next, so they call. You can start with just the problem before you have a solution in mind. Notice the counter in the corner. It shows live what your session is costing us so you can see exactly what your activity costs as you go. We choose to work as creative partners and let Rigel pick the techniques. It suggests three, starting with worst idea first and sets the tone by describing the worst possible quote experience. We flip that into a status page, like tracking a package with what's still needed and a next update date, then ask Rigel to compare directions. It lays out three, each with its trade off. We combine them into one lightweight customer request progress hub and keep the first version simple. No payments, no technician tracking, and no integrations. Once the conversation has enough substance, generate summary captures it as a shareable draft, so the direction is easy to revisit. The summary records the goal, the techniques, the ideas we explored, our top picks, and next steps. It downloads as a PDF or as markdown. With the direction chosen, we go back to work with Rigel and start a separate PRD conversation. The brainstorm stays intact. We bring in the progress hub idea. Rigel plays back what it understood and asks what's riding on this release. Choices appear as buttons, so answering is quick. We pick a real launch on the fast path, and Rigel batches its remaining questions. We walk through the request stages, who keeps the hub up to date, when customers get a nudge, and what success looks like. Rigel captures the scope, its assumptions and open questions, and signals it's ready. One click on generate PRD, and the conversation becomes a structured first draft. Here it is. A vision, the target user and their jobs to be done, key user journeys, features, MVP scope, and success metrics. Your team reviews and refines it instead of starting from a blank page, and the counter shows what it took. The brainstorm session came to about 12¢ and this PRD session to about 29. From an early idea to a brainstorm summary and a structured PRD, Rigel makes the next conversation more concrete. Interested? Share your email with QRION Studio, and our team will set up your access.

Its QRION platform turns a process into a deterministic workflow with a cost on every step, approval gates and an audit record. Prospects start with Rigel, CoWorQ's discovery agent, and leave with a first automation project scoped to pay back in 90 days. Built for Mid-market operations, finance and revenue operations leaders Platform QRION, QRION Studio, QRION Agents Start with Rigel, the discovery agent (no meeting needed) First project From $5,000 (restrictions apply), about four weeks, scoped to pay back in 90 days Questions ## Frequently asked What does CoWorQ do? CoWorQ maps, prices and runs the business processes that span people, divisions and systems. Its QRION platform runs each process as a governed workflow with a cost on every step, approval gates and an audit record. Will we always need CoWorQ to build our workflows? No. CoWorQ is a product-first company, and QRION is built so your own team can design, publish and maintain workflows. We lead the first project, or the first few, so your people have the skills to take on the next ones. Is QRION an AI agent? No. QRION is the workflow platform that makes agents deployable in a business. Most steps run as deterministic rules; where an agent helps, it runs as a bounded step inside the workflow, with an approval gate and its output recorded. Do we have to replace our current systems? No. QRION connects to more than 400 business systems and runs the process on the systems you already use. Existing RPA and workflow tools can stay. What does a first project cost? A first automation starts with a one-time build from $5,000, scoped to what can be delivered in about four weeks. You then own it outright, or let CoWorQ run it from $300 a month plus usage, with the first 30 days of hosting free on a first implementation for a limited time. Restrictions apply: integrations with internal systems can take longer. Is the 90-day payback guaranteed? No. It describes how we choose the first project: one whose cost-side savings cover the build within 90 days.
