Ask Astro

Ask Astro is the operating workspace where small business teams, people and AI, get work done together. We bring it all together in a no fuss, non tech-y way. Built for the way SMBs actually work. The owner of a 15-person business does not have time to be an expert in building AI agents, they just want to support their people. Their team is talented and hard workers. But every week they are chasing numbers across different systems, making calls on gut feel, and they watch people burn time on work that doesn’t move the needle. Generic AI tools promised to fix this but they didn’t. ChatGPT doesn't understand their complex business, can't keep their data separately, and can't help their whole team work together. The team stays scattered, different tools, different threads, different conversations. All they ever wanted was a trusted source of truth for their whole team. Ask Astro: - Connects to your key tools and spreadsheets (Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Procore, 12D Synergy, and 100's more) that generic AI tools can't reach. - Maintains business context in real-time, and you can teach it how you work - Turns your best processes into playbooks anyone can follow - Monitors proactively for emerging matters, instead of a retrospective reports Get started in minutes - No big technical set up, no complex onboarding, no massive costs, just get going. Most customers have a tangible outcome in their first hour of using Ask Astro. The more your team uses it, the more useful it gets - the value compounds. With our unique collaborate AI-chat, work on something together in the same chat, while leveraging AI to support you. Get from draft to Done fast. One customer said: "I got all my nights back." Another: "This is the only one that actually worked out of the box. It makes the other tools look dumb" ChatGPT and Claude are powerful general-purpose tools. They are great at writing and summarising. But they do not know who you are, what your business does, or what happened last Tuesday. Every conversation starts from zero. And they are built for one person at a time. Ask Astro is built around your business - not around a conversation. What the others cannot do (without months of expensive custom setup): - Connect to your actual business data and systems - Monitor your business proactively and alert you when something needs attention - Let your whole team work from the same AI workspace - Give your advisor and your team shared context in real time - Run repeatable workflows and playbooks across your organisation - Keep your data siloed and secure, not mixed with millions of other users At Ask Astro, our vision is to optimise the world of business, while helping the humans to win. We do not replace human judgement, we amplify it. Our applications are optimised for critical thinking rather than engagement, and our customers see the difference, with real impact and returns to their bottom line, not hype. Its not just about productivity, its proactive growth and increased confidence in direction. We are the number one AI operating workspace for small business in New Zealand, maintaining a hyper-local service, while expanding globally.
