What you get

Smart Node, in plain terms.

What it is, what you own, how it runs on your side, and how it gets set up. No marketing, just the honest breakdown a serious buyer wants before a pilot.

01 · What it is

A crew of AI specialists that runs your front office.

Smart Node is not a chatbot and not another SaaS dashboard. It is a system installed into your business: a small team of specialist agents that answer the messages, chase the follow-ups, book the appointments and handle the paperwork, around the clock.

You set it up once, the way you would hire and train a team. Then it runs and reports back to you. You stay the boss; the crew does the doing.

02 · What you actually get

You own it. No subscription for the software.

Smart Node installs onto hardware you own. There is no platform you rent your own relationships back from.

03 · How it's built

Four parts, in plain language.

01The node. The system itself, running on a server you own.
02The crew. Specialist agents, each with a name and a clear job.
03The office. One panel where you see every action and approve anything that commits you.
04The gateway. Routes the crew to whichever AI model you pick, so you are never locked in.

And when a program has no API at all, the agent works it right on the screen, the way a person would. Old software is no problem.

04 · The crew

Named specialists, grouped into departments.

Each agent has a role you would recognise from a real team: a front desk, a sales rep, a bookkeeper, an events host, a procurement buyer. They work together and hand off to each other, not a pile of disconnected bots.

A craft distillery, for example, runs a front desk (Alex), a sales rep (Maya), an events host (Riley), an inventory keeper (Theo) and a bookkeeper (Sam), among others. You can add agents, rename them, and tune what each one does to fit how your business actually works.

05 · Runs on your models

Claude, GPT, Gemini, or local. No lock-in.

One gateway routes them all, so you switch anytime and are never tied to a single provider.

Managed

You pay us one bill, we hold the model accounts and keep it running. Nothing to set up.

Bring your own

Pay once for setup, then plug in your own keys and pay the providers direct. Fully independent of us.

We sort the right fit during your pilot.

06 · Your control

Nothing that commits you goes out without your sign-off.

07 · How it adapts

A built-in architect agent keeps it in shape.

The system is not a fixed template you have to wrestle into place. A built-in architect agent adapts it to how you work and repairs it in place, so you own it without having to maintain it. You stay the boss, not the sysadmin.

08 · How you get it

A pilot, on your real workflow.

  1. We install your copy. Your server or ours, your accounts.
  2. We train it on your business. Your trade, your tone, your rules.
  3. You watch it work. Real messages, real bookings, your sign-off on anything that commits you.
  4. It's yours. Keep going, adjust anytime. The architect agent does the heavy lifting.
FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is Smart Node self-hosted? Do I own it?

Yes. Smart Node installs onto hardware you own. The copy is yours, the data is yours, the source is yours. Nobody can switch it off, raise a price, or take it away. There is no subscription for the software.

Which AI models does Smart Node use?

Claude, GPT, Gemini, or a local model on your own hardware. One gateway routes them all, so you switch anytime and are never locked to a single provider.

How much does Smart Node cost?

There is no subscription for the software. AI costs run one of two ways: managed, where you pay us one bill and we hold the model accounts, or bring-your-own, where you plug in your own keys and pay the providers direct. Setup happens in a paid pilot, then the system is yours.

Do I need technical skills to run it?

No. A built-in architect agent adapts the system to how you work and repairs it in place, so you own it without having to maintain it. You stay the boss, not the sysadmin.

Does it work with the tools I already use?

Yes. It connects to email, texts, your website chat, your calendar, your CRM and your files, directly or through Zapier. For older programs with no connect button, it works them right on the screen, the way a person would.

Is my customer data private?

Your customers, conversations and records stay on hardware you own, not in someone else's account. When the crew calls an AI model, you choose what goes to the cloud and what stays on your own hardware.

What businesses is Smart Node for?

Owner-led businesses. Craft distilleries are live today, with bars and restaurants, wine and liquor shops, farms and cleaning services close behind. It adapts to any trade, so tell us about yours in a demo.
