One brain. Every surface. Cruma is wherever the work finds you.

Learns the business, not just your words.

Cruma plugs into where the business already lives: site, inbox, CRM, finance, inventory, SOPs, internal tools, public. It builds a workspace brain that runs every pack underneath.

Drafts a first move. Waits for your nod.

Day one, every move asks first. A customer reply. A vendor follow-up. An invoice nudge. You approve, edit, or refuse. And decide what kind of move Cruma can take on its own next time.

Support · refund question asks first
Reply to Maya · "is this on the 14-day policy?"

Why this draft — Maya bought day 11. Policy applies. Mirrors how you've handled past refunds.

Routine handled. Edges surfaced.

Lanes you've granted Cruma run on their own: refunds you'd issue get issued, invoices you'd chase get chased, stock you'd re-order gets ordered. You only weigh in on the edges. You wake to a recap, not a queue.

Operates the way you would.

Voice is yours. Decisions reflect your taste. Refuses what you'd refuse, sends what you'd send. The back-office is your teammate. And it gets sharper every week.

Why this isn't another AI tool

Most tools hand you data. Or send for you. Cruma sits between.

Some tools watch the work. Some fire moves blindly. Cruma sees the signal, then moves. In your shape.

Tools that watch

"Here's what's happening."

Dashboards. Alerts. AI summaries. You see the signal. The work's still yours.

dashboards alerts summaries
Cruma

"Here's the move — in your shape."

Knows your business before it touches anything. Drafts in your voice. Acts on lanes you've granted. Refuses what you'd refuse.

Knows your business · offer, ICP, voice, canon, won/lost patterns
Sounds like you · learns from every approval and refuse
Lane by lane · you decide what auto-handles, what asks first
Tools that fire blindly

"Acted. You hope it was right."

Auto-replies. Auto-chases. Auto-drips. Same template for every customer who bought the tool.

generic templates no taste no refuses

Watching is cheap. Firing is cheaper. Moving the work in your shape. That's the work.

How to get started

Set up in 10 minutes.

Three steps to a back-office crew that knows your business, drafts in your voice, and asks before it moves.

Step 01

Connect your stack.

Plug in Gmail, calendar, CRM, Stripe, Notion. Cruma reads what's already there. No imports.

Step 02

Brief your workspace.

Talk or type a brain-dump. Your offer, voice, lanes, what's off-limits. Cruma builds the workspace brain from it.

Recording · 0:42

"Refund anything under 14 days, ask me on edges. Nudge Acme on day 3 if no reply. Don't ever email Stripe vendors."

Step 03

Approve the first move.

Cruma drafts. You approve, edit, or refuse — every move with the reasoning attached. Grants lanes as trust builds.

Approval needed

Why this draft — Maya bought day 11. Policy applies. Mirrors past refunds.

A lighter read on the work

Which kind of grinder are you?

Every founder grinds differently — the one quietly carrying everything, the one with forty-seven unsent follow-ups, the one who delegates then redoes it at midnight. Thirty questions sort you into one of sixteen types, then point you to the exact work Cruma would take off your plate.

30 questions · no signup · about two minutes

LOAD-R

The Pack Mule

Carries everything. Tells no one.

GHOST

The Follow-Up Graveyard

Forty-seven drafts. Sent none.

CTRL-Z

The Take-Backer

Delegates, then quietly redoes it.

FIRE-D

The Arsonist Firefighter

Addicted to urgency. Wary of calm.

GRID-D

The System Architect

A perfect system. Ships nothing.

PING-R

The Always-On Grinder

Replies in five minutes. Always.

SLEEP

The Eternal Pre-Starter

Starting properly on Monday.

BURN-T

The High-Functioning Meltdown

Moving fast. Quietly on fire.

VIBE-S

The Mood Board Grinder

Big vision. Execution is a mood.

SOLO-X

The Lone Wolf

Will collapse before asking for help.

FOMO-R

The Opportunity Hoarder

Eight directions, all at once.

DECK-R

The Professional Talker

Flawless pitch. Product in progress.

COPY-C

The Benchmarker

Always one step behind a rival.

NICE-R

The Yes-Person

Says yes to all of it. Drowns politely.

DATA-K

The Analysis Paralysis

One more data point, forever.

WHER-R

The Present Absentee

In every meeting. In none of them.

Common questions

What you're about to ask.

Do I have to approve every move? +

Day one, yes. Every move asks first. As you approve, edit, and refuse, Cruma earns lanes: kinds of moves it can take on its own next time. Month three runs on a handful of decisions you actually want to make. Trust compounds, lane by lane. You set the line.

How do I tell Cruma what to do? +

However you'd tell a teammate. Brain-dump on a walk and the voice goes in. Paste a thread, drop a doc, screenshot a whiteboard. Cruma absorbs context wherever it lands and turns it into context the workspace brain reasons from. You don't have to write a brief. Just give it the raw stuff and it shapes the brief.

Where does Cruma actually live? +

The Cruma app is where the workspace brain lives. You brief it there, see what's queued, approve moves, watch lanes earn out. But the work happens wherever it already is: your inbox, your calendar, your Slack, your stack. You don't move to Cruma. Cruma reaches you.

Why not just use Claude or ChatGPT? +

Claude and ChatGPT are brilliant. They also know nothing about your business — so every time you want help, you re-explain yourself. Cruma is the workspace brain that holds your offer, voice, customers, won/lost patterns, and pricing memory continuously. Plug Claude or ChatGPT into your workspace and they'll act like they finally know your company. Most AI doesn't know your business. Cruma fixes that.

How is this different from HubSpot's AI or Notion AI? +

HubSpot's AI acts on a contact, a deal, a pipeline stage — it's record-shaped. Notion AI works inside Notion docs. Cruma is firm-shaped: won/lost patterns, pricing memory, email tone, supplier reliability, the full fabric of how your business actually runs. We don't replace HubSpot or Notion. Systems of record describe your business. Cruma runs it — on top of the stack you already have.

What if Cruma gets it wrong? +

Out-of-lane moves wait for your nod. In-lane moves are bounded by the rules you set. Every action carries the reasoning attached, so if something slips it's traceable. That mistake becomes the next thing Cruma learns not to do.

Will it sound like me? +

Yes. Cruma calibrates from your past communications (sends, replies, refuses) and tightens with every edit. By month three it's drafting in your shape, not a generic SaaS template. Refuses what you'd refuse, sends what you'd send.

What happens to my data? +

Your workspace brain (your offer, ICP, voice, won/lost patterns) lives in your workspace and never trains models for anyone else's. Connected accounts are yours, scoped to your account, revocable any time. Your business stays your business.

How big is the first cohort? +

About 25 founders. A real person reads every request, picks for fit, and writes back when your seat opens. No automated drip.

First cohort opening

Brief Cruma. Approve every move. Let it earn the rest.

Sleep through the work. Wake up to the decisions.
