DnG Demo Prep Call

Date: March 2, 2026 Source: Granola Meeting ID: 671fe356-6411-4b87-b9d9-7a1b48bb02d5 URL: https://notes.granola.ai/t/671fe356-6411-4b87-b9d9-7a1b48bb02d5

Participants:

  • Uttam Kumaran (Brainforge)
  • Pranav Narahari (Brainforge)
  • Luke Scorziell (Brainforge)

Summary

Demo Strategy & Requirements

  • Current demo approach needs refinement for Wednesday DnG call
  • Built Teams-like interface with dummy data but not client-ready
  • Need clearer requirements and scripted demo flow
  • Options discussed:
    1. Polished clickable demo (24hrs insufficient)
    2. UI mockups in slides
    3. Simple cursor/ChatGPT demonstration

Technical Demo Scope

  • Client unfamiliar with MCP servers and knowledge bases
  • Focus on showing Adobe tenant integration pain point
  • Demonstrate natural language querying capabilities
  • Avoid overwhelming with too many features
  • Teams integration preferred for adoption concerns

Demo Development Process

  • Luke to create initial slides/mockups using Gemini or Lovable
  • Control own destiny approach - don’t rely on engineering for sales demos
  • Engineering team (Pranav) can enhance after initial static version
  • Buffer time needed for any engineering work (expect 2x longer)

Platform Limitations

  • Clarence’s work platform not ready for demo use
  • Team not trained on new tools yet
  • Stick to proven technologies for client-facing demos
  • Don’t bank on unproven solutions for immediate needs

Client Meeting Context

  • Wednesday 10 AM call with DnG
  • Client concerned about team adoption over technical capabilities
  • Previous call showed low technical sophistication
  • Branding and familiar interface (Teams) important for buy-in

Alternative Demo Approaches

  • Use existing ChatGPT/cursor to show MCP functionality
  • Screen recording of Brainforge Slack bot as similar example
  • Focus on concept demonstration vs. polished product
  • “Slingshot” branding concept (David vs. Goliath theme)

Next Steps

  • Luke: Create static demo using slides/Lovable by Tuesday
  • Pranav: Stand by to enhance Luke’s initial version if time permits
  • Team: Test operating MCP adoption process as secondary priority
  • All: Establish clearer demo development workflow for future sales calls
