AI automation inside Karbon.

Karbon already has built-in AI for work inside Karbon. Horizon joins approved Karbon work, files and client history with Microsoft 365 and the other systems your team uses, then prepares reviewed actions across them.

The connection

How does Horizon actually get into Karbon?

Horizon connects through Karbon's official API, the same doorway Karbon gives its own partners, switched on from your firm's settings. Because that access covers the whole account, we add strict rules first about which clients and records Horizon may use.

Microsoft TeamsYour team asks here

KarbonYour approved records
01 · See

What Horizon can see

Contacts, work items, notes, deadlines, time, invoices and the files linked to them, limited to the clients you approve.

02 · Prepare

What Horizon can prepare

New work from your own templates, plus notes, time entries and file uploads. Horizon shows each change to your team before anything is saved into Karbon.

03 · Start

How work can start

Karbon can tell Horizon when work, contacts, notes or invoices change, so a summary or task is ready for review without anyone having to ask.

What we confirmed about the Karbon connection

  • Karbon already has native AI for summaries and email help inside Karbon. Horizon's extra role is joining approved Karbon records to Microsoft 365 and other systems, then coordinating reviewed actions across them.
  • Karbon access does not automatically carry each person's normal visibility limits, so client and record boundaries are set before anything is connected.
  • Work done through the connection is not automatically recorded against an individual Karbon user, so the workflow keeps its own approval trail.
  • Hidden and private contacts stay out of reach unless Karbon and your account administrator approve them.

Day to day

Use Karbon without jumping between systems.

Karbon stays the home of your client work, notes and time. Your team asks in Teams, Copilot, Claude or ChatGPT, and Horizon answers with only the approved records that request needs.

We connect one workflow first, prove it with your team on real review steps, then expand.

Common questions

Using Horizon with Karbon, answered.

What could our team ask Horizon to do with Karbon?
Karbon already has built-in AI for work inside Karbon. Horizon joins approved Karbon work, files and client history with Microsoft 365 and the other systems your team uses, then prepares reviewed actions across them. Typical results include a controlled exception list for the week, one client view across Karbon and Outlook, and new work prepared under staff review.
Can our team use Karbon from Microsoft Teams?
Yes, after the agreed access is approved. Your team asks Horizon in Teams, Horizon checks the approved Karbon information and connected systems, then returns the answer or proposed action for review.
Can Horizon use Karbon with Outlook, SharePoint or our other software?
Yes. We design one workflow around Karbon and the other approved systems your team relies on, so the result can use the relevant information without staff opening each system separately.
Can Horizon prepare changes in Karbon, not just answer questions?
Yes, where Karbon supports the agreed action. Horizon prepares the change, shows it to the right person and applies it only under the permissions and review rules agreed for the workflow.
What would we start with in Karbon?
We start with one useful, controlled request such as: @Horizon, within the clients approved for this workflow, which jobs due this week are missing a recent note, file or assigned owner? The first version stays narrow enough to test with real staff and real review steps.
What access is needed before work starts?
Karbon access can cover the whole account, so we add strict controls around which client information staff can ask for. Private records and some actions may also need Karbon approval.
Does Horizon replace Karbon?
No. Karbon remains the system your team uses. Horizon connects only the approved data and actions needed for the agreed workflow.
How does Horizon keep the Karbon workflow safe?
We agree exactly which records, people and actions are in scope. We test one limited workflow with approved examples, keep important changes behind human review and expand only after the pilot is working properly.
