AI assistant

  • Cost under your limit

Why it pays off

Ask your business anything

Start using AI assistant in 3 steps

The same three steps wait for you as a checklist on the module's first screen, and most tick themselves as you do them.

  1. Step 1

    Connect an AI model

    Claude, GPT, Gemini or a free one.

  2. Step 2

    Ask your first question

    Such as "best sellers last month".

  3. Step 3

    Set a monthly limit

    See what each question costs.

Add it when you sign up, or any time later from Subscription & billing.

What it does for your business

Type, speak or hold a spoken conversation in plain words, such as "which products sold best last month?" or "who owes us more than 5,000?", and the assistant answers from your own records with charts and tables, across all your stores. Connect the AI models you prefer, from Claude, GPT, Gemini, Mistral and more, including free ones; each shows what a question costs. It can also do the work, such as creating a quotation or recording a payment, but only after you confirm what it will do, and a monthly limit in your currency keeps the cost in check.

  1. Answers with charts and tables from your sales, stock, customers and accounts

  2. Type, ask by voice or hold a spoken conversation

  3. Says what needs a decision today with the Business Advisor, and creates quotations, orders or payments only after you confirm

  4. Your own AI keys, the cost of each question and a monthly limit

Business Advisor

Advice tailored to your kind of business

The Business Advisor reads your own sales, stock, customers, staff and costs every day and says what needs a decision, how much money is at stake and the action that answers it. A few examples by trade:

  1. Reads your own figures
  2. Ranks what needs a decision by the money at stake
  3. Sends it to the people you pick by email, WhatsApp and notification
  4. Its AI agent checks the cause with every StartAI tool and prepares the fix
