Executive Summary

Small businesses—roughly 30 million worldwide in our target cohort—typically subscribe to 4–6 specialized apps to handle CRM, email, scheduling and billing, and they pay on the order of $1,200 per year for these tools on average. That fragmentation produces frequent context switching, duplicated data and manual reconciliation that eats into billable time and causes missed invoices and leads. The product would be an AI-first assistant that unifies inbox, workflows and billing in a single interface: natural-language orchestration to create and run automations, a connector marketplace for fast integrations, a unified inbox that surfaces action items, and automated invoicing and reconciliation tied to business workflows. Pricing would target an SMB ACV in the $800–1,800 range with modular add-ons (connectors, payments, premium automations) to reach the $1,200 market benchmark. This is an attractive moment because the total addressable market is roughly $36.0B, SMBs are actively consolidating SaaS stacks to cut costs, generative AI now makes reliable natural-language orchestration feasible, and growing API standardization lowers integration costs. To stand out you need two things: measurable ROI (replace multiple point tools and reduce tool spend and manual hours) and a trusted, secure connector ecosystem with vertical templates for fast onboarding. Expect hard challenges—competition is high from incumbents and point solutions, and the product must solve complex privacy, billing accuracy and integration-maintenance problems to earn that trust.
