I’ve been talking about @startbuddi for a while. Here’s a proper tour of what we’ve built. 💙
There’s a lot that goes into running a business beyond finding customers. You’re following up, booking calls, planning marketing, managing projects and making sure your team has what they need.
We’ve been building startbuddi to bring that work together, with Chip, our AI assistant, helping along the way.
This video takes you through the different parts of the workspace and how they fit into your working day.
I’m excited to finally show you more of it. Watch the tour and tell me which part you’d use first.
Explore startbuddi.com.
P.S. It’s just under 4 minutes long. Get comfortable. 😊
Your memory is a terrible CRM.
It works with five clients. At fifteen, deadlines and follow-ups start landing on the same day, and the one you forgot is always the one that mattered.
Founders often wear this as a badge: "I just know where everything is." Clients see it differently when a promised update arrives three days late.
Writing things down feels slow until the week you're sick and someone else has to step in.
Which forgotten deadline still haunts you?

Yesterday, I had a demo call with a potential customer for @startbuddi - it came after weeks of silence on signups and demo call requests. I was excited and nervous at the same time.
We did the walkthrough, and imagine my shock when they wanted a quote for the enterprise plan, for not one but multiple clients they were managing!
This came while I was in the middle of thinking about hosting bills from vercel and supabase fees and resend and API fees.
Building a startup is not easy. And that’s why we celebrate the wins when we get them.
A popular take on X this week: don't hire an agency owner under 24, because their operations probably live in the founder's head.
We'd argue age is the wrong test. Plenty of experienced founders run their whole business from memory and WhatsApp, and plenty of young ones have every client, deadline and invoice in a shared system.
The better question for any client to ask: if the founder disappeared for a week, would the work still get done?
What would you ask to check an agency's operations before hiring them?

Our AI assistant inside startbuddi is built around one rule: it prepares, you decide.
It reads the client's record, checks what was quoted and what's still unpaid, and drafts the follow-up. You read it, adjust a line if needed, and send it. Every message stays on the client's history, so your team can pick up where you left off.
That's the balance we think service businesses need from AI: speed on the busywork, and a person on anything that affects the relationship.
Where do you draw the line between what AI handles and what you handle yourself?
#AIassistant #startbuddi
AI invoice tools look magical in a demo: upload a PDF, get the right numbers back.
Inside a real business, that's the easy part. Someone still has to approve the invoice, match it to the job, handle the client who disputes one line, and explain the mistake to the accountant.
Before buying any AI tool for your business, ask what work is left after it does its bit, and who does that work. If the answer is "you, in three other apps", the tool has handed you a new project.
What's the most annoying step AI still can't do for you?

Small business owners end up being the link between their own tools. Forms here, bookings there, WhatsApp on the phone, projects somewhere else, and you copying between them.
startbuddi puts it all in one workspace, so Chip, our AI assistant, can tell you who still needs a follow-up because it can actually see your customers.
What's the tool you copy and paste out of most?

AI agents for small business are everywhere this week, and so is the joke that "Sent from AI agent" will be the new "Sent from iPhone".
Funny, until a client receives it.
Clients hire service businesses for the person behind the work. An email that obviously came from a bot, with nobody checking it, tells them they're talking to a queue.
The businesses getting AI right use it for the draft and keep a person on the send button. Faster replies, same human relationship.
Would it bother you if a supplier's email was signed by their AI agent?

Your bank sends you a happy birthday message. Your favourite small business can't remember what you ordered last time.
Both care about their customers. One of them wrote things down.
A CRM is a memory that doesn't depend on one person. Who the customer is, what they bought, what they asked for, when you last spoke.
When that lives in one place, every message can feel personal, whether you have 50 customers or 500.
In startbuddi that's the client record: notes, tags and history on one page, with your WhatsApp, Instagram and email chats in one inbox beside it.
What's one detail about your customers you wish you'd started writing down sooner?

Every small agency owner has a hat rack where their job title should be. HR, project manager, receptionist, onboarding, sometimes all before 10am.
We built startbuddi so those jobs have a home: leave approved in People, client notes on the record, files in team chat, and Chip turning a new hire's checklist into a project with tasks.
Agency owners, which hat would you hand over first?
