CONTROL
— by Gateway Data
CONTROL is one website that helps you with work. It helps you find a job, write letters and résumés with AI help, send bills to customers, follow the news, and plan your projects. Everything is in one place, and you are always in charge.
All your work tools, together
Most people need many apps: one for email letters, one for bills, one for job hunting, one for notes. CONTROL puts these tools together in one place. It also has AI helpers that can write for you. You check and approve everything before it is sent. The app remembers your settings on every computer you use.
What CONTROL can do
Each part of CONTROL does one job. They all share one login.
Commercial — Quotes, Billing & CRM
Make price quotes for customers. Turn a quote into a bill. See who has paid. Send friendly payment reminders. Save quotes and bills as PDF or Word files. Keep a customer's address on file, and when they move, one guided change-of-address updates their record and every active subscription that used the old address — all at once, or not at all. Your suppliers get their own address book too, kept clearly separate from your customers — a supplier doesn't have subscriptions, so nothing gets mixed up between the two. A built-in Help guide walks through the whole CRM side, step by step.
AI Document Drafting
The AI helps you write letters and documents in your own style. Nothing is sent until you read it and say yes. Your unfinished writing is saved, even if you leave the page.
Multi-LLM Model Router
There are many AI brains (Claude, GPT, Gemini). CONTROL lets you use them all in one place. Before the AI runs, it shows what it will cost. It also keeps the AI list current as new models come out — with your approval. The page remembers your choices and your text.
Job Hunting Command Center
Save job ads you find. CONTROL scores how well each job fits you. The AI writes a résumé and cover letter that match the job — using only true facts about you. Then it helps you track every application. It also reads salary, location and contact info out of the posting for you — if a detail is ever wrong, correct it once and it stays locked, so the AI never overwrites your fix. Paste in whatever research you've gathered about the company, the role, and the people you'll meet, and CONTROL builds you a briefing you can actually use in an interview: what the company is trying to become, why this role exists, and specific talking points that connect your background to their needs. For anyone you'll actually be meeting, it also gives you a plain compatibility read — how well their own background lines up with yours, with a score and a short reason why. And when it's time to write, you're not stuck with just a cover letter: pick a thank-you note, a status update, or an introduction instead, each written the right way for the moment — your own writing style never changes. Log when you applied, interviewed, sent a follow-up or thank-you, or heard back — each one adds a calendar entry and a timeline record you can look back on. Assemble your application package from whichever letters you've actually written, not just résumé and cover letter. Review, print or download a copy of any past AI write-up whenever you like. You can also turn a job application into a full project with one click, and jump straight back and forth between the two.
Communications Intelligence Suite
Had a meeting, call, or interview and need to follow up? Paste in your notes or a transcript and CONTROL finds the two or three things that actually mattered — not a generic thank-you. It writes a draft grounded in what was really discussed, checks its own work for quality, and tries again if it falls short. You can also edit the draft yourself and have CONTROL just clean up the grammar without changing what you wrote. Works for interviews, client calls, and networking alike — not just job applications.
Talent Management Engine — Employer Workspace
For businesses doing the hiring, not just the job-hunting: pick the role, the department, and the experience level, and CONTROL writes the job description, the day-to-day, the requirements, a salary range, and a ready-to-post job listing — all in your business's own language, because it already learned that from your Company Profile. Build a small library of reusable skill sets for roles you hire often. Review and approve everything before it's posted — nothing goes out on its own. Once approved, it's posted to CONTROL's own job board, where anyone — even on the free plan — can browse and search open listings.
Industry Wire — News Monitoring
Pick the news websites you trust. CONTROL shows their newest stories on your home page. Your choices are saved. You can also let it look for stories from new websites — only if you turn that on. You can add your own news sources too, and organize them into your own named groups — new sources are always marked as needing your OK, with a stamp for when you last checked them, before they're treated as trusted. Bookmark stories and ask the AI for a deep-dive across them — once it's done, that same answer is saved, so asking again doesn't waste anything unless you ask it to look again.
Projects & Tasks
Keep all your projects and to-do lists in one place. Label each project by type — work, job search, personal and more — and filter to just those, or filter by its stage instead (planning, active, on hold, completed and more). Search every project's name, summary and description in one box — turn on deep search to also look inside every task and subtask, with matches highlighted in yellow. Change a project's status, priority, health or type with one click right on its page — no need to open the edit form. Move tasks with your mouse — it reliably remembers the order you drop them in, right on a project's own page, and the timeline view reorders to match automatically. See your work as boards, timelines or a calendar, with clear buttons for jumping between them and getting back. If you delete by mistake, you can undo. On a project's page, collapse any task card down to just its title, or collapse them all at once to scan a long list faster. Write as much as you need in a task's notes — long text now always saves, with a counter so you know how much room is left, and a save button at the top of the editor so it's never missed. A project can also be linked to a job application, with a one-click jump button back and forth between the two. Attach and remove files right on the project page, and every AI session run for a project — including one you pointed at specific tasks — shows up on that project so you can always find it again.
Personal Profile
One safe place for your work history. Upload your résumé or paste in your professional profile — CONTROL reads them and fills in your details. It also checks that your job dates match everywhere. You approve every fact.
Company Profile & Industry Context
Tell CONTROL what kind of business you run — a builder, a clinic, a creative agency, and so on. Add your mission, your rules, and sample documents. CONTROL reads them and writes a company profile you can edit. From then on, every quote, task and letter it writes sounds like it understands your business. Every version — every regenerate, every hand edit — is saved, so you can look back at past versions or restore an older one if a rewrite goes the wrong direction.
Planning & Build Tools
CONTROL helps you plan work for a coding helper. Dump a rough idea and it writes a tidy plan. Turn that plan into clear build instructions you can paste into your code editor. It can also turn a project's tasks straight into those instructions. For an operator: you can also upload or paste real reference material about CONTROL itself into a library, and the plan-writer and build-instruction tools will always use it automatically — you can even ask AI to merge several documents into one shorter master reference.
Token Economics
For the operator: a place to play with pricing. Move sliders to see cost, profit and margin. When you find a good setup, click Remember so you never lose it. See your best saved setups, compare them, roll back, and ask the AI which one is strongest. A saved idea can even become the real price customers pay — but only after a second admin approves it, so nobody can change prices alone. A built-in Help guide walks through every tab and workflow, and you can save the whole thing as an offline file to read anywhere.
Model Usage Control Center
See exactly what your Claude Code usage is costing, in real time — which model, how much of your five-hour and weekly limits you've used, and whether you're spending included plan usage or paid credits. A local tool watches Claude Code while you work; this page shows what it's captured. Every AI-cost and monitoring page — this one, real visitor traffic, and the audit trail — shares one built-in Help guide, downloadable as an offline file, explaining how to read and cross-check all of them together.
Native Support Ticketing
Built-in help desk — no separate ticketing service bolted onto the app. Open a ticket, talk it through with real replies, and get an AI-drafted reply or summary to check before you send it. One click grabs a real screenshot of your screen, a window, or a browser tab and attaches it to the ticket instantly — no Zoom, Teams, or other screen-share software to install or join, just a browser prompt. Click any screenshot afterward to see it full-size.
Company Comms Channel
A sidebar that's always one click away with your support tickets, company news, and quick tips — all in one place. Admins can post updates and how-to tips for the whole team; you can keep your own private notes right alongside it. Everything can be added, edited or deleted by whoever is allowed to touch it.
Content Compliance & PII Screening
CONTROL checks what your AI is about to send. Set rules for things that should never leave the company — email addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, credit card numbers, financial details, or anything custom you define. If a prompt contains something on the list, CONTROL stops it before it goes out — and now it puts up a clear pop-up box that stays on screen for 15 seconds (or until you close it), instead of a message you could easily miss. It tells you exactly which rule stopped it, and an admin can jump straight to that rule with one click to double-check it or fix it. An admin can allow it through with a reason if they're sure it's safe — and that's written down too. Whatever the AI writes back is checked the same way; if anything looks sensitive, a clear warning is added right at the top before you ever see it.
Governance, Audit & Access
You sign in with a link sent to your email — no password to remember. The app writes down every important action, so it can never be quietly edited or deleted, and you can always see what happened. Your settings follow you to any computer.
Dynamic Business & Industry Lexicon Builder
Tell CONTROL what industry you're in — even one it's never seen before — and it researches that industry and learns its own words for things, like calling a customer a "client" for a tattoo studio or a "guest" for a restaurant. An admin reviews and approves it before anything changes, and it never overwrites your own data without asking first.
Style Guide & Document Template Engine
Upload a document your business already uses — a proposal, an invoice, a letterhead — and CONTROL learns what it looks like: the fonts, the colors, the layout. Then it can generate new documents that match. You can always correct anything it got wrong, and it won't forget your correction. Gated behind a paid setup package with a clear expiry date.
ARGO — Executive Strategy Intelligence
CONTROL's executive strategist. It reads your real revenue, pipeline, project health, and business profile, and turns that into a readiness score you can trust, a SWOT, a risk list, and an opportunity list — then, on demand, a business plan, investment memo, grant application, financial forecast, or pitch outline, all grounded in the same real numbers.
Business Onboarding & Intake (GENESIS)
Tell CONTROL about your business by talking, typing, or uploading documents, and AI proposes your company profile from what you gave it. A second set of eyes reviews and approves it before it becomes the trusted version everything else uses.
Business Operating Kit
A library of ready-made project, proposal, and quote templates for your kind of business, plus a place to keep your approved marketing claims and evidence so nothing gets said twice — or said wrong.
Artifact Factory / Media Intelligence Engine
Turn one campaign brief into documents, presentation outlines, full web pages, AI-generated images, and voice-over audio — all checked against your brand automatically, then packaged into one downloadable ZIP.
Contact Intel
Paste a business card, email signature, or call notes into a contact's Facts & Intel box. Extract the phone, email, and address straight into the form with one click, or turn a messy paste into a clean table or list. Every paste you act on is kept as its own dated record.
Glossary
Look up what any CONTROL term, button, or label actually means, right inside the app. Available on every plan, including free.
CMN - CONTROL Mesh Network
Let your workspace suggest a good business term upstream so other CONTROL workspaces can use it too, and opt in to receive good terms other workspaces have shared. A CONTROL team member checks each suggestion before it goes out, and personal details are stripped out first.
Contacts & Commercial Workflow Upgrades
Adding contacts and organizations got a lot faster: copy an existing contact to start a new one with the same company and address already filled in, pick an existing company when creating a contact to fill in its address automatically, or paste a whole list of employee names at once. Editing a client or vendor's own details now opens in a simple pop-up, and if you filed one under the wrong list, a "Convert to vendor/client" button fixes it without deleting and recreating the record. Pasting in a business card can create a brand-new company and its address together. Addresses can now be marked "Present" instead of guessing an end date. Contact record type (how you're related to someone) and Relationship type (what they do for you) are two separate admin-editable lists now, joined by two more: Classification (what kind of organization they are — bank, restaurant, SaaS company, …) and Tags (any informal facts you want, like Friend or Potential Contractor, as many at once as actually apply). Contacts can also track whether they've been told about your company's address changing, with a bank branch number field for financial-institution contacts, an A–Z scroll control on the contact page, and its own built-in Help guide. Since then: admins can add a brand-new Contact Type, Relationship type, or Classification option right from the contact card instead of visiting Settings first; typing a tag now warns you live if something close already exists; the A–Z scroll control jumps straight to the letter you clicked; the CSV/vCard importer for bulk-updating contacts moved into a pop-up next to Export CSV instead of sitting below your entire contact list; a contact with no linked company gets a real Company text field; and Commercial's org cards and the contact detail form both picked up color-coded sections so it's easier to scan at a glance.
MAILstrom — Gmail Inbox Triage
Trigger MAILstrom any time and it reads your unread Gmail, sorts each email into Respond Today, Meeting Request, Newsletter, or FYI, and writes draft replies for the ones that need a response — saved as real Gmail drafts, never sent automatically. It also checks your calendar for scheduling conflicts and gives you a summary of everything it found. You can now filter the inbox scan to unread/read/all, pick a date range instead of just "since last run," see every past run in a searchable history, and tell at a glance whether a run used real AI or a mock stand-in. Your own CONTROL calendar and Google Calendar both show up as optional sections in the briefing, and there's a MAILstrom summary card right on the Dashboard.
Organizations — Shared Identity, Roles & Rollup
A company you sell to and a company you buy from can now be recognized as the SAME organization — no more two disconnected records that just happen to share a name. Tag any organization with soft labels like Prospect, Partner, or Competitor without having to set it up as a full client or vendor first. Chain organizations into parent/subsidiary structures that freely mix clients and vendors, and every subsidiary's invoices and bills automatically add up into one total at the parent — no matter how many layers deep the structure goes. A person is no longer stuck belonging to just one organization either: they can be the Owner at one company and a Consultant at another, with one relationship marked as their main one.
Instant Capture — Global Quick-Capture
Had a thought while you were somewhere else in CONTROL? Press a keyboard shortcut and a small window pops up right away and starts writing down what you say. Stop talking, hit Save, and you're back exactly where you were — the whole thing takes a few seconds. It doesn't ask you to pick a project or a task first, and it doesn't guess where the thought belongs either. It just saves it. Later, whenever you have a spare minute, open the Capture Queue and decide then: attach it to a project, attach it to a task, or just leave it as a note.
How people use CONTROL
Here are some examples of how people use CONTROL from start to finish.
Quote → Invoice → Paid
Write a price quote. Send it to your customer. When they say yes, turn it into a bill with one click. CONTROL reminds them to pay.
Capture → Fit → Tailor → Track
Paste a job ad. See your fit score. Let the AI write a matching résumé and letter from your true history. Send your application and track what happens.
Write → Approve → Deliver
The AI writes a first draft for you. You read it and fix anything. When you approve it, CONTROL puts it in your email drafts — it never sends by itself.
Estimate → Route → Budget
Before the AI works, CONTROL shows the price. It picks a cheaper AI when that is good enough. You set a monthly limit so there are no surprises.
Idea → PRD → Build prompt
Dump a rough idea. CONTROL turns it into a tidy plan, then into clear build instructions you can paste into your code editor and AI coding tool.
