> BYOM for founders and store owners: one AI assistant that gathers the context, drafts the work and waits for your approval, with a record of every change.

## For the founder or store owner

Everything still lands on your desk.

Pricing, product copy, customer escalations and supplier questions all wait for your answer, and each one needs context from five different tools. BYOM gives you one assistant that gathers it, drafts the work and waits for your call.

## The problems

- Everything routes through you: Pricing, product copy, customer escalations and supplier questions all wait for your answer, and each one needs context from five tools.
- Every tool has a dashboard, and none of them agree: The store, the helpdesk, the ad account and the spreadsheet each tell a different story. None of them answers the question you have: where is the week stuck, and who is it waiting on?
- You hear about it from customers first: A sold out size, a slow reply or a late batch of orders shows up as a complaint before it shows up anywhere you look.
- AI you cannot trust with the store: Every tool promises to run things for you, and none of them can show you what it did or put it back.

## How BYOM helps

- Start the day with HQ: What needs your decision, what Kina did overnight and what is waiting on someone else.
- See the whole business, then the corner: Readouts put the numbers that run your week on one board, each showing where it was read. A Watch opens a card the moment one crosses the line you drew.
- Hand Kina the legwork: Ask by chat or voice. Kina reads your store and helpdesk and brings back a drafted answer or change.
- Approve in seconds: Every change arrives as one clear card with its evidence. You decide, and it is recorded.
- Put it back if you need to: A record of every change, with undo where the store allows. Nothing is quietly lost.
- Teach it once: Tell Kina how you like things done in shared memory, and the whole team gets the same answer.
- Turn repeat decisions into Rails: The jobs you approve every week become Rails you start when you choose, still checked and approved by you.

## Questions to ask Kina

- What needs my decision today?
- Where is the week stuck, and who is it waiting on?
- Draft a reply to the three oldest open tickets.
