Where spreadsheets run out

Stop rebuilding the same spreadsheet.

  • Next year, next client, next time: you describe it once.
  • When somebody asks, you can answer in a minute, not an evening.
  • This one and the last one sit side by side, so you can compare them.

Everything you keep, in order, without you ever sorting it

Pick one to see what it keeps

The problem

The last one almost fits.

If it were plainly wrong you would go and find something better. It is nearly right, so you copy it again.
  1. 01 / 04

    You build it again.

    A copy of the last one, a new column, a new tab, a formula dragged down again. An afternoon before the first real entry.

  2. 02 / 04

    Mistakes get in.

    A formula that stopped copying at row 400, and nobody notices for weeks.

  3. 03 / 04

    Two copies disagree.

    The one you sent out and the one you kept stop matching, and neither of them says so.

  4. 04 / 04

    You cannot compare.

    The columns moved between one and the next, so this one and the last one will not line up.

  1. The same jobs come round, and you do them by hand.

  2. Nothing is left where you could look it up later.

  3. The assistant you already use has nothing of yours to read.

None of it is difficult. All of it has to be done again next time.
What it does instead

You describe it once. It works out the shape.

Tell it what you need to keep track of, in the words you would use to explain it to somebody else.
How it goes
  1. You hand over something you would have done yourself.

  2. It gets through the steps, one at a time.

  3. It stops when something is your call, and waits. Nothing is saved until you say so.

  4. You say yes.

  5. It ticks each one off and notes down what it did, including that you approved it.

nothing written yet

It asks you in plain words, and waits.

What it asks you about
When it reaches something that is yours to decide, it stops and asks you there and then, usually with the choices laid out. Nothing goes ahead until somebody answers, and what they said is kept alongside it.
What stops

Then the four things you were doing by hand stop.

  1. 01 / 04

    Instead of: You build it again.

    Nothing to build again.

    You describe the shape once and it holds. Something new to keep track of is a new field, not a new file.

  2. 02 / 04

    Instead of: Mistakes get in.

    Nothing to drag down.

    Totals are worked out from what is there, so they cannot quietly stop partway down a column.

  3. 03 / 04

    Instead of: Two copies disagree.

    One version.

    There is one of each thing, and it says who changed it and when.

  4. 04 / 04

    Instead of: You cannot compare.

    Two of anything, side by side.

    Put this one next to the last one. Ask about either from an assistant you already have open.

From the assistant you already have open
  1. Connect an assistant you already use, like Claude or ChatGPT.

  2. It reads what you allow, and nothing more.

  3. Answers come from what you actually have, not a guess.

  • Connect Claude or ChatGPT to one kind of thing.

  • It can read what you keep, and nothing more until you allow it.

  • You approve the connection, and you can take it back.

An assistant answers questions. This one gets it done, and writes down what it did.

Everything it does is written down, including that you said yes.
Ready today

What it can take off your hands.

  • Keeping people’s details up to date

  • Planning something with dates and places

  • Getting a messy file ready to use

  • Bringing what you keep into one place

  • Writing and sending what goes out

  • Keeping track of what comes in and goes out

  • Keeping track of something with no app for it

  • Teaching it something of your own

Every line here is on the platform today, ready to set up. None of it is a roadmap.

Yours is not on the list?

Three ways in, in order of effort
  1. Start with one that already does most of it.

  2. Want it done differently? Say so in plain words.

  3. Anything stranger than that, we build it with you.

A scoping week

We map one of these out from start to finish, with somebody who has done it by hand. You keep the map either way.

Where the gaps are

Not built yet.

Not built

Single sign-on.

What you get

Today you get sign-in you control, two-step verification, and a written history you can download.

Not built

Automatic imports from the systems you already use.

What you get

Today you upload a file or connect a spreadsheet, and bringing it in is itself written down for you to read back.

Not built

A mobile app.

What you get

Not planned either. It works in a phone browser, which is where you will answer most of these.

Pricing

What you pay for.

Start on the smallest one and move up when you need to.
What counts against a plan
A plan counts what it gets through, what that uses, what is kept, and the messages sent from our account. Bring your own AI provider key, WhatsApp account or mail server, and that provider bills you instead.

Billed monthly. Need something different? Talk to us.

Start with one of them.

Name the thing you do by hand every week, and we will show you it being done and what it writes down.
