base

Everything in Base runs through one command bar. You type a request in plain English, like "send a contract" or "create an invoice," and Base works out which connected tool should handle it and executes the action there. The point is that you stop switching tabs. Base states that you never need to understand APIs or OAuth to use it, which matters if you're a founder without a developer on hand.

The first thing you see on login is a prioritised list of what needs your attention across every connected tool. Unsigned contracts, overdue invoices, leads that haven't been contacted, and emails awaiting replies all surface in one place, and the feed refreshes through the day without prompting. It's a useful counter to the usual problem, which is that nothing tells you what's wrong until a customer complains.

Base exposes your business to outside AI agents through an MCP endpoint you control from settings. You grant a client, Claude for instance, access to specific modules only, and it can then query your contacts, deals, finances, and tasks through Base instead of you pasting data into a chat window. Every grant is per client and per module, and you can revoke it at any time. For teams already using AI assistants, that's a genuinely different workflow.

Standing rules let you tell Base what to always prepare. When a meeting ends, it drafts the follow-up using what was discussed; when an invoice passes its due date, it prepares the chase. Base claims it proposes and you approve, meaning nothing is sent, created, or updated in a connected tool until you sign off. That approval step is the difference between an assistant and an autopilot, and it's the right default for finance and customer email.

Base ships with 20 modules grouped into comms, marketing, revenue, finance, legal, people, fundraising, and tools. The lineup runs from inbox triage and Slack messaging to CRM, contracts, payments, HR, an OKR tracker, and a knowledge base. Several modules are native to Base rather than integrations, including the brand kit, automations, and the OKR tracker. That breadth is the draw, and also the reason the entry tier's three-module cap bites quickly.

Two of the five layers Base describes are worth separating out. The Memory layer permanently stores every contract, hire, update, and milestone so it stays searchable, and the Intelligence layer turns that history into benchmarks. Base says the longer you use it, the more context it holds, and that AI-generated benchmarks get progressively replaced by aggregate data from real companies at your stage. That's a reasonable claim, but it depends on how many founders actually stick around.
