Our mission

As easy as asking. As dependable as proper software.

That is what working with your data through an AI assistant should feel like. What follows is why it does not yet, what we promise on the way, and where you can check that we kept to it.
  1. Assistants got good at answering.

    Ask one something hard and the answer is often excellent. Then it has nowhere to land: the work it was about is still done by hand, somewhere else.

  2. Most of the effort is going into pipes.

    The work you can see is mostly connecting assistants to software you already run. That helps wherever the software exists.

  3. Most everyday work has no software at all.

    It lives in a spreadsheet, a folder or somebody’s head. Stedano gives it a proper home: organised records, rules that hold and jobs set up once, with a person deciding what changes and a written history of every change.

Four commitments, no exceptions.

  • People decide

    Ember gets on by itself until it reaches something that is yours to decide. Then it stops and asks, and waits.

  • Show the working

    Every change is written down as it happens. If you cannot check it, you cannot rely on it.

  • Say what is true

    We name what is not built. A roadmap item written in the present tense is the cheapest way to lose someone’s trust.

  • Finish what it starts

    A demonstration is not the goal. Something that holds up every day, on the real thing, is the bar.

How to hold us to it.

A commitment with a check attached is worth four without. Here is where to look.
  • Read the history, and download it

    What changed, when, and whose hand it was, written down as it happens. It is in your account, and it is yours to take away.

  • Read what is not built

    The home page lists what is missing, under the prices, in the present tense.

  • Read every version of our terms

    Each policy shows the text in force, when it started, and every version before it. A published version is never edited.

    Terms and policies

Hold us to every one of these.

Start with one thing you keep track of by hand. It is free, and you will see each of these four for yourself.

Free to start. No card.
