How Wabi and Runner help with business work
Your question	Wabi	Runner
What is it for?	Everyday life, together: “Plan dinner, coordinate the family calendar, organize a trip, pick a place, or make something together.”	Your business. Runner gives growth a whole team: it finds the leads, sends each one your introduction, and drafts the posts and ads.
Who can you bring in?	“Bring your partner, family, friends, or coworkers into a Wabi chat.”	Your manager, a part-timer, your designer or your accountant, into one task, without buying them a seat. They open it on their phone. No account, no app to install.
What does it notice for you?	It “helps carry the mental load — noticing the things that need attention before you do”, such as “The bill that quietly changed.”	Money in your business: Runner tells you on My Day when orders at your till or clicks from Google fall week over week. Each flag is one sentence with the real numbers and one link to fix it.
What does a question get you?	“Sometimes the best answer isn’t another message.” Its listing says a family week can become a shared calendar, and “a trip a map and itinerary, a decision a vote, or a goal a tracker”.	Ask how sales did this week and get a card, not a paragraph. Pin a number to your day and it stays up to date, from your own records, never from a model.
When does it check with you?	“Wabi checks with you before important actions that require your approval”.	Nothing goes out until you switch the team on. Then it works inside the limits you set, and anything outside them comes to you first, with the reason.

Questions about Wabi and Runner

Should I use Wabi or Runner?

Use both if you like. Wabi is the AI assistant you use together with the people you care about: the trip, the dinner, the family calendar. Runner is for your business: it brings your staff into a task, tells you on My Day when orders at your till fall, and gives growth a whole team.

Can my staff join a task without an account?

Yes. Bring your manager, a part-timer, your designer or your accountant into one task, without buying them a seat. They open it on their phone. No account, no app to install. They can reply and mark it done, and they can never approve, spend or publish.

Does Runner notice things before I do?

In your business's numbers, yes. Runner tells you on My Day when orders at your till or clicks from Google fall, or your ad spend on a channel jumps, week over week. Small numbers stay quiet, so a flag means something.

Does Runner work for a shop or a café?

Yes. Connect Square, Lightspeed Retail, Toss Place or Toast, or drop in the sales report your POS already makes. Shopify POS works through its orders CSV, and Clover follows once Clover approves Runner. Runner keeps totals and trends, never customer names, emails or card numbers.

Which AI model does Runner run on?

The one you pick for your chief executive and each lead. It runs on the AI credits your plan includes, or on your own key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI or Ollama, where your vendor agreement and your rate limits apply.

Will anything go out without me?

Not until you switch the team on. Then it works inside the limits you set, and anything outside them comes to you first, with the reason. Every email also checks the contact's recorded consent and your suppression list.

How do I get Runner?

Create your account and pick a plan. You pay upfront when you start; the plans are on the pricing page.

Your business. Your goal. Your growth team.
