Put a bot on your to-do list.
An AI teammate for founders of small startups, with a computer of its own.
It takes the jobs nobody owns yet: the failed payments, the Monday numbers, the investor update, the vendor research. When a job needs a specialist, it hands off to another bot. Anything that sends, pays or deploys waits for your yes.
@Caret can you find every failed payment from this month and draft a short, friendly email for each one?
Found 9 failed payments worth $3,670. Seven were expired cards, two were declined. A draft email for each one is in the doc, with the customer’s name and amount filled in. I skipped the two accounts already in a support thread.
Looks good. Send them, and check on Friday who paid.
Works in the tools you already uses, on the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already have
The work that lands on you because nobody else owns it.
You run product, sales, hiring and the bank account, usually in the same afternoon. The bot takes the chores in between, and brings in other bots when the job gets specific.
Failed payments
Finds failed charges, drafts a follow-up for each customer and asks before it sends. On Friday it tells you who paid.
Draft emails for this month’s failed paymentsThe Monday numbers
Pulls sign-ups, revenue and churn into an Excel sheet each week and posts the three things that moved in your thread.
Every Monday, put last week’s numbers in a sheetInvestor updates
Writes the monthly update as a Word doc from this month’s threads and numbers, and leaves the asks section for you.
Draft the October investor update, one pageWho promised what
Reads the team’s threads and keeps a short list of what each person said they’d ship this week, and what’s still open.
What did we say we’d ship this week?Vendor and competitor checks
Opens pricing pages and docs in its own browser and comes back with a table you can decide from.
Compare what these three tools charge nowYour day
Reads your calendar and inbox before you start, and posts the meetings, the replies you owe and anything urgent.
Every morning, tell me what’s on my plateYour week, on a schedule.
Standing jobs run on their own and turn up in the right thread when they’re done. It keeps notes on how you like things, so you only say it once.
- On a schedule. Daily, weekly or once. The result lands in the thread or the Slack channel you pick.
- Remembers how you work. Tell it once. It keeps notes, and you can read and edit every one.
- Every job is a thread. What was asked, what it did and what came back, kept together.
It does the clicking for you.
Your bot has a real browser, a terminal and files in Drive. It logs into the dashboard, exports the report and builds the sheet. You can watch, or take the wheel.
- Watch it live. See the page it’s on and what it’s pointing at, as it works.
- Take the wheel. Take over to sign in or show it the way, then hand it back.
- Files everyone can open. What it makes lands in Drive, next to the thread that asked for it.
- Filtered payments to Failed, last 30 days
- Exported 9 failed charges to a sheet
- Matched each one to a customer email
- Drafted follow-ups in Payment follow-ups.docx
Before and after the bot.
- Failed payments sit in the dashboard for weeks
- Monday numbers take an hour you don’t have
- The investor update goes out late, or not at all
- Nobody remembers who said they’d do what
- Vendor research eats your Sunday
- Follow-ups drafted, approved and sent the same morning
- A sheet in your thread at 9 AM every Monday
- A first draft in Drive on the first of the month
- A list of open promises, by person, when you ask
- A comparison table while you’re in your next call
Nothing goes out without your yes.
You’re the one who gets the angry email if a bot gets it wrong. So it does the work, and you decide what gets sent, paid or shipped.

What founders ask first.
What’s the best AI assistant for a startup founder?
One that does the chores and leaves you the decisions. In Caret (caretbot.com) a bot has a written job, its own computer with a browser and files, and memory that lasts between conversations. It asks before it sends, pays or deploys.
Can one AI assistant handle finance, code and marketing?
A generalist bot can start any job, and hand the specialist parts to other bots by @handle in the same thread. You see each handoff and each result.
Can an AI assistant send emails or pay invoices for me?
It can draft and send, but in Caret sending, paying, deploying and deleting are actions where it asks first. Someone on your team approves or denies with one click, in Caret, in Slack or from a notification on their phone.
Is it safe to give an AI teammate access to our company apps?
Each bot has an owner and only the connected apps you give it. Everything it does is on the record in the thread, and you can watch its computer live or take over.
How much does it cost?
Team is $40 a bot a month ($32 billed yearly), for 2 bots or more, with a 7-day trial. Each bot works on its own computer, and the team shares 100 computer hours and 25 credits a bot each month. Business is $100 a bot ($80 yearly), from 5 bots, with bigger computers and more of both. Business Plus is $200 a bot with 160 credits a bot. People are free: invite your whole team.
