AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge
Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate outputs for the stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. One connected app set and one approval policy; final task execution and external communication remain under named human review. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.
What your team sees
Primary screens: Connected apps and permissions, Task and automation board, Review and approval queue. Use a workspace switcher for connected apps, a central board for tasks and automations, and a right-hand panel for context, files and comments. Let users compare automation drafts side by side. Display draft, changes requested and approved states. Provide a mobile and messaging view for queries and approvals. Make the task-specific outcome reviewed routine task actions and tracked project updates visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.
Accounts and administration
Workspace ownership, connected app credentials, permission scopes, agent configurations, approval toggles, task templates, retention rules, export logs and a rights record for supplied material. Add organization access boundaries, named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls and explicit approval for external actions.
Integrations and data access
Customer-owned business apps, calendars, email, chat and file storage. Cloud asset storage, design-file import/export and publishing destinations. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct publishing. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.
How we build it
We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

Why we start with an MVP
An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.
- Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will operations leads and team managers coordinating routine work across several business apps use it to solve "routine tasks, approvals and updates are spread across disconnected apps, so staff re-enter context and chase status by hand"?
- Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
- Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Completed routine tasks per operations hour and manual re-entry corrections.
- Measure, then decide. Track completed routine tasks per operations hour and manual re-entry corrections; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.
MVP scope for this solution. Pilot scope: One connected app set and one approval policy; final task execution and external communication remain under named human review. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: connect multiple business apps through one interface; automate routine actions such as summarizing meetings, updating notes and sending emails. Support the third module with operator review: retain prior instructions and context across sessions. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.
After the MVP. Once paid pilots prove usefulness, automate repeatable reviewed steps and add one verified source integration. Expand supported apps and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around reviewed routine task actions and tracked project updates. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One connected app set and one approval policy; final task execution and external communication remain under named human review.
What the build depends on. Asset upload and preview, asynchronous generation jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity production requires specialist operations QA. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One connected app set and one approval policy; final task execution and external communication remain under named human review.

Pricing to test
Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined operations workflow. Offer a monthly production allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex multi-app integrations or specialist review separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded reviewed routine task actions and tracked project updates. Recurring fees must specify volume, review depth and integration support. For exchanges, test a disclosed coordination or successful-service fee rather than holding customer funds. Reprice only after measuring real delivery labor; platform-build cost is separate from a commercial pilot fee.
Message to test
Reduce manual app switching and repeated context entry while keeping approvals under named owners. Demonstrate a concrete reviewed routine task actions and tracked project updates using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.
Where to find buyers
Operations leads and team managers coordinating routine work across several business apps professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.
Lead magnet
A reviewed sample reviewed routine task actions and tracked project updates from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of completed routine tasks per operations hour and manual re-entry corrections and no promised savings.
The first 30 days
- Week 1: interview five operations leads and team managers coordinating routine work across several business apps and inspect a recent example of routine tasks, approvals and updates spread across disconnected apps.
- Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the three task modules.
- Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
- Week 4: measure completed routine tasks per operations hour and manual re-entry corrections, reviewer effort and repeat-purchase interest. This is a demand-validation plan, not a thirty-day full-product delivery promise.
Paid pilot
Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Completed routine tasks per operations hour and manual re-entry corrections. Continue only if the buyer accepts the actual output, the intended job outcome improves without unacceptable errors, and measured delivery cost fits willingness to pay. Revise or stop if access is unavailable, qualified review cannot be provided, or apparent savings disappear after corrections and support. Use held-out cases when comparing model quality; use a properly reviewed comparison design before making causal claims. Record missing cases and negative results alongside successful outputs.
Success metrics
Completed routine tasks per operations hour and manual re-entry corrections; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.
Retention and expansion
Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs reviewed routine task actions and tracked project updates. Retain permissioned settings and reviewed examples, report realized value honestly, and sell increased volume or adjacent approved workflows only after contribution margin and quality remain acceptable.
Why clients would pick it
A reusable library of approved automations, connected app configurations and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow operations niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for operations leads and team managers coordinating routine work across several business apps. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.
Alternatives and positioning
Native AI, Boost.space 4.0, Dimension, Floutwork, Slashy, Concierge AI, Macro, LivingInbox, Microagents (Beta) and Context. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on completed routine tasks per operations hour and manual re-entry corrections. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.
Main delivery costs
Connected app API usage, storage, reviewer hours, client revision rounds and licensed source assets. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of reviewed routine task actions and tracked project updates. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.
Safeguards
Preserve source attribution, permission scopes and data access boundaries. Named owners approve substantive task actions and external communication. One connected app set and one approval policy; final task execution and external communication remain under named human review. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
