Latrobe’s first module, Franklin, reads Microsoft 365 mail and attachments, sorts them into an office’s own categories, and surfaces dates buried in correspondence.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

Franklin is being built around correspondence as the architecture project record, with filing categories defined by each practice rather than imposed by a generic legal or sales taxonomy. The described reader covers full messages and attachments, including dates embedded in PDFs, and learns from corrections when staff move mail. Latrobe lists future modules for drawings, specifications, submittals, commitments, and meetings, while the current build is being tested with one practice.
