About

A business OS that answers to you

Tayl is being built for small business owners who are tired of stitching their business together from tabs, exports and memory — but who are not willing to hand everything to a hosted platform.

Who is building it

[[NEEDS VALUE: founder or team name]]

[[NEEDS VALUE: founder role or team description]]

The legal entity, team details and contact address are published elsewhere on this site only once they are confirmed. Nothing here invents a founder biography, customer count or company history.

Why now

The tools got better. The picture got worse.

A small business can now run on Google Workspace, Notion, Stripe and Slack. Each tool is useful on its own; together they create a fog of records, messages and documents. The owner is left to be the integration layer.

Tayl is an attempt to put the understanding back in one place, without putting the business in someone else's cloud.

Mission and vision

Understand the business. Keep it yours.

What the product is trying to do, stated plainly.

Mission

Give every small business owner a clear, evidenced view of their own business.

Connect the tools they already use, read the documents they already have, and answer questions over that data without requiring a data team or a migration to a new platform.

Vision

A business operating system that runs on the owner's machine.

One that moves from context to intelligence, decision, orchestration and execution with the evidence and the approval attached at every step — and that knows when to say it does not know.

Principles

How we make the trade-offs

The constraints we would rather keep than trade away.

The owner stays in control

The app runs on your PC. You choose the model, supply the key and decide which tools to connect. The software should earn trust by behaving, not by asking for it in a tagline.

Evidence over fluency

A well-written answer is not the same as a correct one. Tayl is designed to show where an answer came from and to be honest when the evidence is thin.

No invented facts

This website does not use fake customers, testimonials, metrics or press. The product has to be good enough to describe plainly.

Local-first is an architecture, not a slogan

There is no Tayl-hosted backend for user data. The business context lives in a local SQLite database. A cloud LLM is optional and chosen by the user.
