Building Summit: Behind the Scenes of Our AI Development


Building AI that actually works for small businesses isn't just about the latest technology—it's about understanding the real problems that need solving.


Our Development Philosophy


We started by spending months talking to small business owners across different industries, understanding their daily workflows, and identifying the biggest pain points. Here's what we learned:


Small Business Owners Don't Want Complexity

Every solution needs to be intuitive. If it takes more than 30 seconds to learn, it's too complicated for busy entrepreneurs.


Accuracy Is Everything

Getting customer information or invoice amounts wrong isn't just inconvenient—it's business-damaging and can hurt relationships.


Mobile-First Is Critical

Most business operations happen away from the desk, so every feature must work perfectly on mobile devices.


Affordability Matters

Small businesses need enterprise-level functionality at a price point that makes sense for their revenue.


Our AI Training Process


We've trained our AI models on thousands of real business documents from various industries:

  • Receipts from major suppliers and vendors
  • Invoice formats across different business types
  • Customer communication patterns
  • Project documentation from service businesses
  • E-commerce transaction data

  • Industry-Agnostic Approach


    Unlike solutions built for specific industries, Summit is designed to work across:

  • Professional Services: Consultants, agencies, freelancers
  • Retail: Online and brick-and-mortar stores
  • Food Service: Restaurants, catering, food trucks
  • Health & Wellness: Clinics, gyms, spas
  • Home Services: Cleaning, maintenance, landscaping
  • Creative Services: Design, photography, marketing

  • What's Coming Next


    We're currently working on:

  • Advanced customer behavior analytics
  • Predictive cash flow analysis
  • Integration with popular business tools
  • Voice-activated data entry
  • Multi-language support for global businesses

  • Alpha Testing Program


    We'll be opening our Alpha program soon to select small businesses. Alpha participants will get:

  • Free access during the testing period
  • Direct input into product development
  • Priority access to new features
  • Dedicated support from our team

  • Our Commitment


    We're building Summit with a simple mission: to give small business owners their time back so they can focus on what they love about their business.


    Every feature we develop is tested with real business owners to ensure it actually solves real problems, not just looks good in demos.
