# base

> Base is a system of intelligence for founders. It runs the back office of your company - email, CRM, contracts, invoices, marketing, investor relations, HR and more - in natural language.

Base connects to the tools you already use (Gmail, Google Calendar, HubSpot, Xero, QuickBooks, Shopify, Slack, Stripe and others), reads what is happening across them, and executes work on your behalf. You tell it what you want in natural language and it drafts, sends, files, updates and follows up. Every action is reviewable before it goes out.

Base is generally available. New accounts start a free trial. Free trials last 1 day. A card is verified at signup and nothing is charged until the trial ends.

## Blog

- [All posts](/blog): Writing for founders on operations, AI and running lean.
- [The playbook for after the weekend. What $1m ARR Actually Takes.](/blog/playbook-after-weekend-1m-arr): The command bar might get you a product in record time, but it doesn't tell you what to do on Monday. Or the Monday after that.
- [You can vibe code. You can't vibe scale. Here's why.](/blog/vibe-code-vibe-scale): The layer that made vibe coding possible doesn't exist for operations yet. Here's why that gap matters and what would actually close it.
- [AI should amplify founders, not replace them.](/blog/ai-should-amplify-founders): The founders who survive aren't the ones who delegate earliest. They're the ones who stay closest to the moments that define their business.
- [What is vibe scaling?](/blog/what-is-vibe-scaling): Vibe coding gave founders the power to ship. Vibe scaling is what comes next. Here's what it means and why it matters.
