Infrastructure.Stop Renting Your Business Infrastructure.
Get a connected client portal, CRM, Ledger financial tracking, and project execution engine, powered by AI agents that handle inbox triage, bookkeeping, and client intake. Pay once to own your system forever. Zero software rent.
Owned forever. Includes 10,000 AI Agent Actions. Bring your own API key for $0/mo or top up as you grow.
Build an asset. Stop paying software rent.
Most SaaS platforms tax you monthly for every seat, user, and feature—charging you regardless of how much value you actually extract. Catalyst builds a private operational asset: you own the Core OS and every agent outright. The only ongoing cost is the AI capacity that runs them — free if you bring your own API key.

Your business, understood at a glance.
Every client, invoice, and inbox message flows into one connected view. Agents work quietly in the background — you see the result the moment you log in.
Your Core OS keeps the record. Your agents keep it current — matching receipts, replying to routine emails, flagging what actually needs your judgment. Nothing waits on a human queue.
Built for owner-run businesses that don’t have a back office — just you, a laptop, and everything riding on staying on top of it.

What’s included
Built to run your whole business.
Whether it’s the front door clients walk through, the books that keep you straight, or the agents that run quietly in the background — it’s one system, not four rented apps.
Client Portal
A white-labeled portal at yourfirm.catalyststudio.app — or your own domain as a paid add-on — where clients log in, see status, and reach you.
CRM & Deal Flow
Every contact, company, and active engagement in one place — nothing gets dropped.
Ledger
Real financial operations, not just invoicing — bookkeeping, retainer tracking, and reconciled bank activity your Ledger Agent can act on.
Project Execution
Scoped projects, deliverables, and milestones move from kickoff to client sign-off — visible to the client without an extra status email.
Knowledge Base
Your procedures and standards live in the system, not just your head.
AI Agent Suite
Personal Assistant, Relay, Ledger, and more — 16 agents and growing, included in your setup, working continuously in the background.
AI Capacity Engine
Your setup includes 10,000 AI Agent Actions — each one a single agent task, like a triaged email or a matched receipt. Connect your own API key at $0/mo, or top up with a $25 pack (3,000 Actions) when you need more. Switch anytime.
Autonomy across your business
End-to-end business intelligence.
Automated Bookkeeping & Reconciliation
Every receipt, retainer payment, and bank transaction flows into one reconciled record — no more digging through statements at tax time.
- Multi-format receipt & statement ingestion
- Real-time bank transaction matching
- Automatic retainer and invoice tracking

Use cases
Built for solo operators and owner-run firms.
One connected environment for operators who manage high-value client work without a back office. The platform stays the same — its configuration changes based on how work enters your business, moves through engagements, and reaches the client.
01 — Advisory & consulting
Never Lose Track of an Engagement
Work is built around judgment and relationships — engagements, retainers, and recommendations that need to stay organized and visible, even when you’re the only one keeping score.
ENGAGEMENT STATUS
LiveAcme Corp — retainer
Hartline Advisory — onboarding
Growth Partners — renewal due
02 — Financial & legal practices
Deadlines That Don’t Move, Handled Automatically
Client trust depends on accuracy, confidentiality, and follow-through on deadlines that don’t move — Ledger and your agents keep the paper trail so nothing depends on memory.
FILING & DEADLINE TRACKER
LiveQ3 estimated taxes — Client A
1099 filing — Client B

From Kickoff to Sign-off, One Timeline
Work moves through scoped projects, deliverables, and client sign-off from kickoff to handoff — visible to the client without an extra status-update email.

Where the line is
Agents handle the execution. Judgment stays yours.
Catalyst separates recurring operational work from the judgment that should never leave your desk. Agents run the first. You keep the second.
What your agents handle
Triaging and drafting replies to routine inbox messages
Matching receipts and chasing overdue invoices
Sending onboarding forms and e-sign requests
Updating your calendar and scheduling meetings
Flagging what actually needs your attention
What stays yours
Proposals, pricing, and negotiations
Client relationships and judgment calls

Data privacy
You see everything. Your agents see only what the task needs.
Most software makes you choose between doing everything yourself or handing over full access to someone else. Catalyst’s AI agents work from a role-based view—scoped to exactly what a task requires, nothing more.
What you see
What your AI agent sees
Your AI agents can reconcile transactions, match invoices, and keep the books current — without ever seeing your total balances, account numbers, or payout routing details.

AI Agent Suite
Autonomous task execution — inbox triage, client intake, and financial reconciliation, running without a human queue.
Core Data Model
One unified model connecting every client, engagement, transaction, and document — instead of four apps that don’t talk to each other.

Connects to the tools your practice already runs on, so nothing needs re-entering by hand.

An “Action” is one agent task — a triaged email, a matched receipt, a drafted reply, a client-intake step. 10,000 Actions covers roughly 6–12 months for typical solo use; heavier day-to-day usage will burn through them faster. Actual usage varies by business.
Setup includes a yourfirm.catalyststudio.app subdomain. Want it on your own domain instead (like app.yourfirm.com)? Add it anytime for a one-time $149.
