Private business systems

Your business runs on its data. Keep it in accounts you own.

We design and build the systems an SME actually runs on: a CRM, the books, the everyday workflows, and one searchable record of every client conversation. Everything is set up in your own accounts, so you get the convenience without handing your data to another company's app.

See it work

Ask your business a question

Your answers are already written down somewhere: in a chat, an email thread, a PDF in Drive, a line in the books. The trouble is that they're in five different places. Once everything is in one archive, one question finds all of them, asked in your own words, typed or spoken.

You ask

Where do we stand on the office lease?

It searches everything

  1. WhatsAppThe chat with the landlordThis month's rent invoice
  2. SignalA chat with a colleagueThe lease terms, and what ending it early would cost
  3. EmailA thread with the auditorA request to add the new lease to the accounts
  4. DriveThe tenancy agreementThe signed document itself
  5. BooksThe rent entriesHow each month's rent is split and recorded

You get one answer

12435

Every point links to the message or document it came from.

A real question from our own archive, September 2026. Reworded, with names and figures removed. The answer drew on two chats, an email thread, a file in Drive and the books.

Try it on your business

Ask how this would work for you

Describe what your business does and what it runs on today, and ask what we'd build. This assistant runs the way we build them for clients: an AI model in our own cloud account, answering only from this website.

Then tell it what to do

From a question to a finished task, without opening the CRM

The same assistant can act on what it finds: email a client, ask them for a document, set a reminder, or change any field in your records. It prepares the change; you confirm it. Ask in a chat or send a voice note from your phone.

  1. Ask, or say it

    "Remind me to file the deregistration notice on the 25th." "Email the client: payment received, one invoice still open."

  2. It prepares

    It finds the right client, record and contact, and drafts the email, the request or the change.

  3. You confirm

    You see exactly what will happen (the full email, or each field's old and new value) and tap Confirm. Until then nothing has changed.

  4. It's done, and logged

    The change is made in your own records and written to the audit log.

The confirm button sits on a page the AI can't press. If a client's message tries to talk the assistant into something, the most it can do is prepare it for you to decline.

Our own systems, as of September 2026.

What we build

Systems for the company, and for you

Plenty of SMEs still run on an inbox, a few chat apps and a spreadsheet, long after they've outgrown them. We replace that with a small set of systems that share one set of records, and tidy up the founder's own setup while we're at it.

CRM and client records

Clients, deals, documents and deadlines in one place. Forms on your website write straight into it.

Books and documents

Bank statements, receipts and invoices read into your ledger, with every entry tied back to its source document.

Workflows

Onboarding checklists, reminders, payments and approvals that move on their own and flag what needs a person.

One record of every conversation

Email, WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram in one searchable archive, under retention rules you set.

Your own setup

One address book on every device, email and aliases in order, a private archive of your own records, backups that tell you when something goes missing, and every subscription you pay for in one list.

Where your data lives

Private doesn't mean no vendors

Every system uses outside services. What we change is who holds the account, who sees what, which services are allowed in, and whether you can leave.

Your accounts

Each service is opened in your company's name. We work as invited users, and you can remove us at any time.

Each person sees their part

Everyone gets their own login and only what their role needs: staff the client files, your accountant the books, an outside auditor a separate workspace. The AI assistant answers with the permissions of the person asking, and your personal mail stays yours.

Vendors picked for their terms

No ad-funded platforms. AI only through providers whose business terms say they don't train on your data. You get the full vendor list, in writing, before we build.

The exit test

Plain exports, a documented setup, and no layer of ours sitting in the middle that you'd have to keep paying for. At handover we export everything and open it with you, without us, so you know leaving works.

Built on our own companies first

We run on these systems ourselves

Everything we offer was built first for three businesses we operate: a company-services firm, a corporate advisory and an accounting practice, and for our founder's own setup.

How a project runs

Quoted per project, after we've seen what you run

  1. Talk

    You tell us what the business does and where the work piles up.

  2. Design

    A written design: which systems, which vendors, what each holds, and a fixed quote.

  3. Build

    In stages, starting with the part that costs you the most time today.

  4. Hand over

    Documentation, a walkthrough for your team, and every account in your hands.
