For founders

Run the company from one operating layer.

Aexy gives founders one place to connect customers, product work, GTM signals, docs, hiring, workflows, and AI agents — before the stack fragments into ten subscriptions nobody reconciles.

See customers, work, and ownership together.
Start open source and add cloud/enterprise when needed.
Use agents for summaries, routing, and workflow support.

Sound familiar?

Every new function brings a new tool: a CRM, a tracker, a docs wiki, an automation tool, an HR system. None of them talk.

One workspace with CRM, engineering, docs, workflows, and people ops sharing the same records and context.

You are the integration layer — copying context between tools and answering 'what's the status of X' all day.

Work, customers, and ownership live on connected records; status is visible without asking.

You want AI to actually run operations, but no assistant can see across your fragmented stack.

Aexy agents operate with company-wide context — CRM, docs, email, workflows — under approvals and audit history.

SaaS spend compounds per seat, per tool, per month — before you have revenue to match.

Open source and self-hostable: run the whole OS free on your own infrastructure, pay only for cloud convenience.

Aexy vs the typical startup stack

Most startups assemble Notion + Jira or Linear + a CRM + Zapier + an HR tool. Each is good alone; together they cost more, share nothing, and leave you as the glue.

AexyNotion + Jira + CRM + Zapier
ContextOne operating graph: customers, work, docs, people, and workflows reference each other.Each tool holds a silo; context is copied by hand or lost.
AutomationWorkflows and AI agents act across CRM, email, docs, tickets, and people data natively — even alerts auto-create and auto-resolve tickets.Zapier-style bridges between tools; brittle, per-task, per-zap pricing.
AI readinessAgents get governed access to company-wide context with approvals and audit logs.Each tool ships its own assistant that only sees its own data.
Cost shapeSelf-host free; one platform to pay for if you choose cloud.Four to ten subscriptions, each priced per seat per month.
Data ownershipOpen source, exportable, self-hostable.Locked in per vendor; export quality varies.

Self-host free. Use cloud when you want speed.

Aexy is open source. Run it on your own infrastructure at no cost, or start on cloud and keep the option to move.

FAQ

Is Aexy useful before hiring a full ops team?

Yes. It is designed to centralize work early and prevent expensive stack fragmentation.

Can founders self-host?

Yes. The open-source path is useful for technical founders that want control and transparency.

What should founders adopt first?

Start with CRM, docs, planning, or GTM workflows depending on the biggest current coordination problem. You don't have to move everything at once.

How is Aexy different from just using Notion for everything?

Notion is a flexible document tool; structure is whatever you build in it. Aexy ships real CRM objects, sprint and ticket workflows, HR modules, and governed AI agents — with docs and a knowledge graph included.
