THE REAL PROBLEM

## You'renotrunningyourbusiness.  You'rerunningyourtools.

The average small business owner juggles 8+ tools just to handle communication, scheduling, sales, and admin. Every tool means another login, another tab, another place things fall through the cracks.

HOW IT'S DIFFERENT

## Notachatbot.  Acommandlayer.

##### Every other AI tool

An AI that only knows your documents — not your calls, pipeline, or inbox

An AI that only knows your CRM — not your schedule, content, or conversations

An AI that starts from scratch every time — you brief it, it forgets

An AI that reads your tools through APIs — it connects, but it doesn't own the data

An AI that lives in its own app — another tab, another login

Long running agent

WHAT YOU CAN ASK

## Oneassistantforeverythingyou'rejuggling

- RESEARCH

##### "What were the most common objections in my calls this week?"

Pulls call transcripts → analyses patterns → surfaces themes

- EXECUTION

##### "Enrich the last 20 CRM contacts and flag anyone at a company over 50 people"

Queries CRM → triggers enrichment → filters and tags

- CROSS-PRODUCT

##### "Find missed calls this week that didn't book and add them to a follow-up sequence"

Reads Frontdesk → filters results → creates Sales sequence

- CROSS-STACK

##### "Pull my open Asana tasks, check against this week's meetings, flag what I'm behind on"

Reads Asana → checks Scheduler → identifies conflicts

- COMMUNICATION

##### "Draft a reply to the Founders Creative email about Q2 — confirm we'll deliver Thursday"

Reads thread → drafts in your tone → holds for approval

- AUTOMATION

##### "Every morning at 9am, summarise yesterday's leads and send the brief to our sales channel"

Creates recurring workflow → runs daily → posts to Slack

COMMON QUESTIONS

## Frequentlyasked

How do I add Ask Central to Slack?

Install from the Slack App Directory in one click. Authorise your workspace, connect your tools, and Ask Central is live in your channels and DMs immediately. No engineering setup required.

Does it read all my Slack messages?

No. Ask Central only responds when directly @mentioned or messaged in a DM. It does not passively monitor or read channel conversations unless specifically invoked.

Is Ask Central free?

Yes. Ask Central is included free with every Central plan. It is not a paid add-on or premium tier. The more Central products you activate, the more Ask Central can do.

What if I don't use all Central products?

Ask Central works with whatever you have active — even a single product plus external integrations. It also connects to 160+ third-party apps, so it has value even if you're only running part of the Central OS.

How is this different from ChatGPT or Claude?

ChatGPT and Claude start from zero every session and cannot take action in your business tools. Ask Central already knows your leads, calls, inbox, and pipeline — and can execute across all of them from one prompt.

Can I use it in channels and DMs?

Both. Use DMs for private tasks — drafting emails, checking your calendar, reviewing your pipeline. Add Ask Central to team channels for collaborative tasks — creating issues, summarising threads, assigning follow-ups.
