More of your business out of your head.

Less weight on you.

Built in the flames of frustration, and proven every day in the business that made Brain for Builders.

What your Brain does

Set up once. Runs every day after.

01 / Every morning

Waiting for you before you've had a coffee.

What came in that needs you, and what's on today. Or in your inbox, with your approval.*

6:40am.
02 / Whenever

One sentence starts a job.

Your Brain finds the file and drafts off it. Knows which job a name belongs to.*

"Summarise last week's emails and add them to my to-dos."
03 / Later that day

Gets Friday's booking ready for your yes.

Out in the world your Brain fills the cart, then stops for your yes. Same Brain, same afternoon.

"Book the table for Friday."
Inside your business

Email, files, calendar.*

Out in the world

The browser.

And you

Your Brain learns how you work and who you work with.

* Needs your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace connected. Everything else runs without a connection.

What's in your head right now?

Talk the whole lot out on the go, hands-free in voice mode, wherever the thought lands.

Every one of those lands as a task with a date and a priority on it. Nothing's floating anymore.

What you’re buying

Power is easy. Direction isn’t.

The Brain for Builders mark: a roof over a brain built from courses of brick, with one amber brick and one steel brick

The engine.

Brilliant, and generic. All that power, and no idea where you’re going.

Brain for Builders.

The steering wheel on all that power. Our knowledge and our know-how, built in, so a generic engine starts working like a construction specialist. Every wall we’ve hit so far, already dealt with. Beta is where we find the rest together.

Your unique company.

Your people, your jobs, your style, your process. You know the road. That’s what turns the structure into your machine, and nobody else’s.

Simple setup

No tech wizardry needed.

A bit of simple setup, start to finish. If you get stuck, you ask your Brain.

How far you go

As small as an inbox manager. As big as a silent business partner.

You decide what your Brain can reach, what your Brain may do, and where you stop.

"Scan my business, then tell me all the ways you can help me optimise it, and where you'd start."*

* Needs your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace connected.

The bit nobody else says

Noticed we haven't promised you your weekends back? That's because this is bigger than that.

Sceptical?

Three tasks running at once.

Think you couldn’t run at that pace? You already do. Every day you brief subbies, chippies and suppliers, and away they go. That’s the whole skill, and your Brain is built to be briefed.

Now you can move the needle, and take a breath, even while you're fighting fires.

Before you buy

What you need.

A willingness to work differently.

If you want things done the way they've always been done, this isn't for you.

A device that runs Claude.

Best set up on a computer, then used on your phone and computer together.

A paid Claude subscription.

Yours, not ours. Brain for Builders is the structure that sits on top, not the software.

Optional, but recommended

Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.

That's what lets your Brain reach your email, files and calendar. Microsoft has to be a business account. A plain Gmail address connects. Connected, you set up front what your Brain may do alone and what needs your yes, and your Brain works inside that. Through the browser alone, you get asked as you go, which means a lot more asking.

The price

Beta only. One price, paid once. Any number of users.

Less than some people drop on one good night out. Updates that will be a paid subscription for everyone after you, free to you for the life of the product. An update is one new file: it goes in, the old one is kept, and nothing of yours is touched. And your opinions shape what comes next. That's our thank you for joining us early.

$395plus tax

A download.

What you get.

  • Your Brain. One folder, built and ready. Two ways to run it, both included, and the sheets help you pick.
  • The part that knows how a building company runs, so you’re not starting from a blank page.
  • Everything already named and in place, so from day one you can see where things go.
  • A record that builds itself as you work.Nothing overwritten, nothing lost.
  • A starter contacts list, if you haven’t got one.
  • And the setup sheets that walk you through it, start to finish.

The other question

Who are you paying for this?

Nobody knows your business like you do. We know how a building company runs, because we've run them.

You're downloading our knowledge, our experience, and every wall we’ve hit so far, already dealt with.

No holidays. Nobody walks out the door with your clients. Stop any time, no notice, no paperwork.

Support

You're never without support.

Made for step-by-step use.

Everything is laid out in sheets you follow in order. Follow them and you’re running.

Built into your Brain.

The support steps are written into your Brain’s instructions, so when you get stuck, you ask your Brain, right there, any time.

And we're a quick email away.

If you'd like to unpack something personally, that's Brain behind the Brain support, available by the hour. But that's reassurance, not a plan. Read the sheets properly, and we're confident you won't need us.

Straight answers

Questions builders ask.

AI makes mistakes. Check it before you send it.

Do I need to be good with technology?

No. Follow the step-by-step setup, which is straightforward, and you’ll be up and running in under an hour. And if any part feels hard, we want to know, so we can make the next version better.

Is this software?

No. Knowledge and a structure, built from running building companies. The software is a separate subscription you hold yourself, covered under what you need above.

What do I get?

See what you get, above, next to the price.

Can I use this for my whole company?

Yes. Beta only: one price covers your business and everyone in it, any number of users. Each person needs their own subscription and their own Preferences file, and the changes log keeps everyone on the same page, with a record of who did what. Before the cost puts you off, do the maths on what a person gets back when things run at the same time instead of one after the other.

How long does setup take?

Less than an hour. There are a few connections only you can make, like linking your email and files, and a handful of questions to answer so your Brain understands how your business runs. If you get stuck along the way, ask your Brain first.

Will my Brain do things without me?

That’s up to you. Your Brain works within the permissions you set, so you decide what your Brain can reach, what your Brain can do alone, and what has to be run past you first. You can allow some things unattended, like a scheduled task each morning. Or you can keep a tight leash, drafting only, so nothing sends or deletes until you say. Your connections, your choices, your decisions.

Can I get a refund?

Because this is a digital download, sold as a beta at a reduced price, there are no change-of-mind refunds. If something in the pack is wrong, that's ours to fix: tell us and the correction comes out as a free update. Bought it by accident and haven't downloaded it? Just get in touch and we'll chat.

What if I already use AI at work?

No problem. You don't need to start fresh. The pack shows you how to turn what you already have into a Brain.

Do I need Microsoft or Google?

Optional, but recommended, see what you need above. Microsoft has to be a business account. Hotmail, Outlook.com and Live addresses won't connect. A plain Gmail address connects, and so does a business Google account.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. On a phone, get the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, and check the developer is Anthropic, because there are plenty of lookalikes. On a computer, only ever download from claude.com/download, never an app store.

Worried about AI?

Dip a toe in, or do a fat manu. Your call.

Your Brain drafts. You send.

Ask, never guess. No made-up numbers, prices or names. Never send or delete without your yes.

What comes to us is your payment and your emails. That's it. Your business lives in your own Claude and your own Microsoft or Google. We can't see it, and we never hold your passwords.

We've run our own business on it for over a year. In that time, zero trust issues. That's our experience, not a promise.

You're buying the construction specialist layer, not the intelligence. The intelligence is Claude, made by Anthropic. We don't own it. If you're concerned, here are their own policies. Read them and make your own call.

Not ready yet

We'll tell you when the beta closes.

Two emails, that's the lot. One when the beta closes, one when the full release lands.
