The AI OS for Bangladesh

WhatsApp-first, Bangla-native, BDT-priced. We're building what Zapier+Intercom+Lindy would look like if it were built in Dhaka.

The wedge

Global automation tools (Zapier, Make, n8n) cost $20–$50/mo in USD, don't speak Bangla, and ignore WhatsApp + bKash. The local SaaS stack is fragmented (single-tool vendors for inventory, POS, messaging) with no automation layer above them. Assistant is the connective tissue — one product where a non-technical founder describes a task in Bangla and it runs across every tool they own.

Moat

BD-native distribution

WhatsApp + bKash + Bangla. We meet customers where they already operate; global tools can't easily port here.

Connector library

32 connectors live, 80+ on the roadmap. Compounding moat — every new integration raises switching cost.

Operator brand

Founders trust us with customer data because we're local, accountable, and BD-incorporated.

AI cost curve

As inference drops, our margin expands. We bundle AI execution into BDT pricing — competitors meter it.

Ask

Raising a seed round to scale GTM and ship the bKash + Nagad connectors. Deck and metrics on request.
