AI Tools for Startups
We're vendor-flexible on purpose. What matters is a lean stack chosen for how well it connects — not a tool for every task. Here are the categories that make up an AI-native stack.
LLMs & AI
Frontier models, selected per task for quality, latency, and cost.
CRM
A single, clean system of record for customers and pipeline.
Automation
The workflow engine that connects everything else.
Internal docs
Knowledge base and documentation with retrieval.
Analytics
Product and business metrics you can trust.
Support
Helpdesk wired to your knowledge base.
Project management
Lightweight, automated work tracking.
Finance
Bookkeeping, billing, and reporting.
Marketing
Content, email, and campaign tooling.
Security & access
SSO, role-based access, and audit trails.
