Amplifies your small business
Just Ask Astro
Key features
Step 1: Get set up
Your data is in. In minutes.
Connect your external tools using Ask Astro's integrations: Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Google Ads, emails and calendars connectors, and more, including the industry-specific systems most platforms won't touch. If it's not in a system, drag the file into the Chat and let Astro do the work of sorting it. A spreadsheet, a PDF, a policy document. It all goes in.
Not sure where to start? Ask Astro. Type "how do I get set up?" and Astro walks you through it, step by step. Need a niche app connected that isn't there? Just let us know.
No IT required. No implementation project. No waiting.
Step 2: Build your context
Astro learns your business. Every conversation gets smarter.
Once your data is in, you chat with Astro to build context files. These capture your goals, your language, your key numbers, how your business works. Think of them as the briefing notes Astro carries into every future conversation.
You create them by chatting. Tell Astro what matters to you. Ask it to summarise what it knows about your business and save it to a context file. Correct it, build on it, add as many as you need, whether it's broad or specific skills to do a particular job. Over time, this perpetual context becomes one of the most valuable things in your business.
This is what makes Ask Astro different from a generic AI tool. It knows your business. It remembers. You can teach it what matters to your business.
Step 3: Get to work
Pick the first job you actually want to do. Do it now.
Most people start with one of three things: a dataset they want to monitor, a dashboard to track performance, or a report they produce regularly. Pick yours and ask Astro to help you build it. Don't know where to start? Astro can suggest a few things to help you begin.
It helps to think about the job you want to do, and then make sure the data is in there to get it done. Add these end-to-end jobs one at a time. The value compounds, and doesn't overwhelm.
Astro doesn't do it for you and hand it back. It works with you, you make the calls. Astro handles the heavy lifting. By the end of your first session, you have something real: a live dashboard, a report you can share, a process you can run again next month.
Not a demo, actual output in minutes. Job done.
What a week looks like
Monday morning. Before you've opened your inbox, Ask Astro has already flagged a watchlist alert. A key metric has moved outside the range you set. You didn't go looking for it. Astro found it. You ask what's driving it, get a clear answer, and share it with your leadership team to get some actions underway. You're not just looking backwards. You're getting ahead of the game.
Tuesday, you open Ask Astro before your first meeting. You get Astro to check your emails and calendar to plan your day and gather what you need. You ask how last week's revenue tracked against target. The answer is there, pulled from your live data, in plain language. You share it with your team before your weekly meeting, along with the agenda you just made. You record the meeting and add the transcript into Astro's meeting notes playbook. Notes and actions are created and shared with all involved instantly.
Wednesday, you run the board report playbook. You need to get it out before the end of the week for next week's board meeting. Astro pulls everything you need to report on: graphs, figures, financials, the risk register. It reminds you what you spoke about last time and everything that's happened since. You add your own thoughts and insights to support the narrative, then share it with your leadership team to gather their input. The report is finalised in under an hour and sent to your board. Done.
Thursday, a team member is working on a client proposal. They've spent some time drafting it to a good state with Astro, working on the document side by side in a chat. Now it's ready for your feedback, so they add you into the chat so you can see the document and the process that's gone before. You review it in the same thread, ask questions, make changes directly with the team member and Astro. Looks good? Sign off there and then, and the team member sends it on.
Friday, your weekly competitor research report runs. It's the same report you set up three weeks ago, pulling the same data, formatted the same way. You didn't have to rebuild it. You didn't have to remind anyone. It just ran, and there's an update worth your attention. You spend ten minutes reviewing it instead of two hours producing it.
