How it works

Describe the business. Connect your AI. Start operating.

Three steps from a description of what you do to an AI working in real books, a real pipeline and real projects, with you approving what matters.

Step 1

Describe the business. Padrino builds the starting system.

Tell Padrino what you sell, how you get paid, who you serve and what needs to improve. It prepares the chart of accounts, CRM stages, website structure, invoicing terms and AI roles, and waits for your approval.

Tell Padrino about the business

We're a six person landscaping and irrigation company in Henderson. Mostly residential, some HOA contracts. We quote on site, take a 50% deposit, and chase too many late invoices.

Padrino prepared, for your approval

  • Accounting Chart of accounts for a service contractor, 3 bank feeds to connect
  • CRM Stages: Lead, Site visit, Quote sent, Won, Lost
  • Website 5 pages drafted from your services and service area
  • Invoicing 50% deposit on acceptance, balance on completion, net 15
  • AI roles Bookkeeping and quote follow up, both asking before they send
Looks right, set it up Change something

Step 2

Connect your AI once.

One API key or one MCP connection gives your AI every module the key allows. No separate integration per app, and no re-teaching the same business to five tools.

Step 3

Your AI acts. You stay in control.

Padrino keeps permissions, approvals, responsibilities, evidence and activity history inside the business system. Sensitive actions stay drafts until the right person approves them.

  1. 01
    Per person and per agent permissionsEvery key carries scopes. An agent can read the books without being able to post to them.
  2. 02
    Review before it countsPosting, publishing, sending and spending can wait as drafts until the right person approves.
  3. 03
    Visible ownershipUnresolved work has an owner and a status, so nothing quietly stalls.
  4. 04
    An audit trailEvery change records who or what made it, when, and why.

Questions

Do I have to configure every module first?

No. Describe the business and Padrino prepares the books, CRM stages, website structure, invoicing terms and AI roles for your approval.

Which AI runs the work?

The one you choose: Claude, ChatGPT, Grok Bot, Muse, your own agent, Padrino's AI team, or a mix. They all work in the same system.

What stops an AI from doing something I did not want?

Every key has its own permissions, and sensitive actions such as posting to the ledger, sending, publishing or paying can wait for a person to approve them.

What happens when I change AI providers?

Nothing is lost. The records, decisions and history live in Padrino. Connect the new AI and it carries on.

Give your AI a business to run.

Start with one connected system instead of assembling a stack of subscriptions first.
