Business Brain is installed for one business. Yours.
Your own instance, in a local data centre. Nobody else’s data. Nobody else’s users.
It’s built to be useful from day one
But your first hour with it is nothing like the AI you’ve used before.
So what actually happens?
From a fresh instance to the core of your business.
The install, the conversation with Alex, the plan it produces, your team finding their feet, and the switch that turns on Ability. In that order.
One business. One Business Brain. Yours
Before anyone on your team types a word, your instance exists, and it's connected.
A local data centre
Installed in a data centre in your region. Your knowledge stays under the law you actually operate under.
Set up for your business alone
One business per Business Brain. Nobody else’s data on it, nobody else’s users in it. Not a partition of something shared.
Connected from the first moment
It starts with its AI connection live. Nothing to build, nothing to wait for.
Useful from day one is the design brief, not a hope. The first thing it asks for is your time, not your IT department's.
Onboarding · the first hour
This is not the AI you’re used to
With the AI chat tools most people know, you ask and it answers. Onboarding runs the other way. Alex asks. You answer.
Write me a holiday cover policy.
Certainly. Here's a general holiday cover policy you can adapt…
You ask. It guesses at a business it has never met.
Who covers invoicing when your finance person is away?
Sam, from memory. It's never been written down.
Noted, and flagged as a gap. Where do your client contracts live today?
A shared drive. Some of the older ones are only in email.
Which parts of the business exist only in someone's head?
Alex asks. You answer. Your Brain learns your business.
Fifteen minutes to an hour, on average. It's the first time you deal with your Business Brain, and the most important hour you'll spend with it, because everything that follows is built on what you tell Alex here. The fuller your answers, the better start your Business Brain gets.
You're not asking the questions. You're answering them
A full plan of where your knowledge lives
By the end of the conversation, Alex has mapped your whole team and every place your knowledge is kept: the systems, the folders, the inboxes, and the parts that only exist in someone's head.
Few businesses have ever seen this on one page. It's the first thing your Business Brain gives back, and it's worth having on its own.
Every person. Every place. One page
The AI inside
The intelligence is yours to choose
Your Business Brain runs on AI you provide, through your own account with the provider, connected to your instance. Your knowledge stays where it is.
Claude, by default
Out of the box, Business Brain runs on Anthropic’s Claude.
A full range of providers
It can be fitted to use other AI providers. Models come and go; your Brain and your knowledge aren’t married to any of them.
Say so when you order
If you’d rather run on a different provider, raise it when ordering, so your instance is set up that way from the start.
Give your people room to find their feet
Business Brain is only as useful as the people using it. That takes a little getting used to, and it spreads best from person to person.
Start with the early adopters
Nobody's job changes on day one
Every question feeds it
It spreads person to person
Onboarding done, team set up: Ability can come on
The gate is simple. Once Alex has finished and your people are in, the tools that do work, rather than only answer, are yours to switch on.
Your call, your timing
It’s a switch you flip, not something that happens to you.
One tool at a time
Relationships, planning, insights, email and documents. Each on or off as it suits you.
The Brain proposes. You decide
Nothing consequential happens without a person approving it.
Support when you want it. Nobody when you don’t
Updates and backups happen inside Business Brain. Help comes from us or your local agency, and only when you open the door.
It looks after itself
Supported by us, or your local agency
