Welcome to Cora

What is Cora?

Cora is your writing assistant for NDIS case notes. After a phone call, visit, or email, you tell Cora what happened in your own words (by talking or typing), and she writes it up as a professional case note that you can paste straight into Astlaty.

She also pulls out your follow-up tasks so nothing falls through the cracks.

Cora is a helper, not a replacement. She drafts notes for you to review and edit — you're always in control of what goes into Astlaty.

• Edit a note — Open it from History, tap "Edit Note" to reopen it for changes.
• Delete a note — Open it, scroll down and tap "Delete". You'll be asked to confirm.
• Re-generate — If the draft is way off, tap "Re-generate" to have Cora try again from your original rough notes.
• Find old notes — Tap "History" in the menu bar to see all your recent notes.
• Download a note — On the review screen, tap "Download" to save it as a text file on your device.

After you've approved one or more case notes, Cora can read through them and pull out everything you need to do next.

• Go to "Tasks" in the menu bar.
• Tap "Extract Tasks from Notes" — Cora reads today's approved notes and creates a task list.
• Tasks are colour-coded by priority: URGENT do first, HIGH important, MEDIUM can flex, LOW when you get to it.
• Tick tasks off as you complete them — they'll fade out so you can focus on what's left.
• If something needs an incident report, Cora will show a red alert banner at the top.

Remember: Tasks are suggestions based on what Cora found in your notes. Use your professional judgement — if something's missing or wrong, just ignore it or give Cora feedback so she can improve.

Everything stays in your home. Cora runs on the Mac Studio sitting in your house. Your notes, transcripts, and tasks are stored locally on that machine. The AI model runs locally too — nothing is ever sent to the internet or any cloud service.

This means your participants' information is protected by design, not just by policy. Even if someone wanted to, the system physically cannot send data to a cloud AI.

You access Cora through Tailscale, which creates an encrypted tunnel between your devices and the Mac Studio. Only devices signed into your Tailscale account can reach it.

• Be specific about people and roles — "Called David's mum Karen" works better than "spoke to someone"
• Mention the type of contact — phone call, face-to-face, email
• Include actions and timeframes — "need to follow up by Friday" helps Cora create better tasks
• Don't filter yourself — more detail is always better. Cora will trim it to the right length.
• Flag urgent things — if there's a safeguarding concern or incident, say so explicitly
