Billable Hours Recap

The Billable Hours Recap is a routine your Townie AI assistant runs at the end of each week: it reconstructs your billable time by client from your calendar, email, and documents, shows the meeting, thread, or file behind each block, and flags work that looks unlogged — every number labeled an estimate for your review.

Every block of time comes with its evidence.

  1. It runs before you invoice

    End of week, while the work is still fresh enough to confirm — not at month end, from memory.

  2. It reconstructs from the record

    Your calendar, email threads, and document activity, grouped by client — with the evidence behind each block of time so you can sanity-check every entry.

  3. You confirm the hours

    Everything is labeled an estimate and held for your review. It never generates or sends an invoice — it just makes sure you bill for the work you actually did.

From the record: a meeting's calendar length, the back-and-forth on an email thread, the edit history on a document. Every entry shows its source so you can sanity-check it, and every number is labeled an estimate — you confirm the final hours.

Your calendar and email at minimum, plus wherever your working documents live. A Google Sheet makes a good home for the recap if you want it somewhere tangible each week.

Yes — tell your assistant which clients are on retainer, which internal work never bills, or that admin time under fifteen minutes should be ignored, and it updates the routine from that one message.
