Early preview — invite-only for now

Tell Keel what you're trying to accomplish. It builds the plan and does the work.

Say what you want in your own words. Keel asks the questions that matter, lays out the steps in order, and shows you each change before it makes it. Nothing happens without your OK.

Two things it's built to do

Turns a goal into a real plan, then carries it out

Most people tell their AI "make it happen" and hope for the best — no plan, nothing checking whether it's risky, and no one asking what a change will touch. Keel starts earlier than that: it has a real conversation with you to understand your goal, then breaks it down into what has to happen and in what order — separating the decisions only you can make, anything that needs a vendor or an account signed up for, and the parts it can go build. Along the way it flags risk you might not think to ask about, like HIPAA or PCI. When it's ready to act on something real, it shows you what it's about to do and waits for your OK.

Works through the accounts and tools you already have

Keel works through the accounts and tools you already use, rather than leaving you to make every change by hand. If it can't reach something, or doesn't know, it says so and gives you the exact steps instead — it would rather tell you "I don't know" than guess with your site or your customers' data.

Where things stand today

Real today
  • Takes a plain-language goal and has a real conversation to understand it — no technical vocabulary required.
  • Turns that goal into a concrete, ordered plan — separating what needs your decision, what needs a vendor or account signed up, and what Keel can just go build.
  • Checks for real risk along the way, including things like HIPAA or PCI you might not think to ask about.
  • Works through the accounts and tools you already have, and says plainly when it can't reach one.
  • Shows you what it's about to do before it does it, and waits for your OK.
  • Explains what it's doing and why, in plain language, as it goes.
Roadmap — not available now
  • A much broader range of tools and systems it can reliably connect to and act on — approaching "any tool you already use," rather than proving itself one connector at a time.
  • Open, self-serve sign-up — right now, access is invite-only (see below).
  • A more polished, mobile-friendly experience.

These are honest goals we're building toward, not features you can use yet.

How it works

1

Say what you're trying to accomplish

In your own words — no technical terms required, and no need to arrive with a fully-specified instruction. Keel doesn't just wait for you to ask the right question; it's the specialist who knows which questions matter and asks them for you, including ones you'd have no way of knowing to ask, like whether this touches health or payment information.

2

Keel lays out the plan

Your goal gets broken into what actually needs to happen: the decisions only you can make, anything that needs a vendor or account signed up for, and the concrete build steps — in the order they actually depend on each other, not just a to-do list.

3

Shows you what it's about to do

Before anything real happens, Keel shows you exactly what it's about to do and waits for your OK. Where a system can show it a dry run, it checks that too.

4

You approve, then it goes live

Nothing goes live until you say so. Keel records every change. Where a change can be undone, it tells you how; where it can't, it says so first and asks you again.

5

Explains itself as it goes

Before doing anything unfamiliar-looking, Keel says what it's about to do and why, in plain language. You don't have to take it on faith — and you pick up a little more each time.

What that looks like in practice

Inventory list
Booking calendar
Payment system

Picture an equipment-rental shop: an inventory list, a Google Calendar for who has what checked out, and a separate system for taking payment. Each one works fine on its own — but none of them know about the others. Someone checks a camera out at the counter, and the online calendar has no idea; a customer three states away sees it as available and books it anyway.

Keel's job is figuring out how to get the ones you already have to agree — checking whether a direct connection exists, and connecting to and acting on it safely if so. It always shows you a preview and asks for your approval before any of it goes live.

Who this is for

Business owners and decision-makers

You want to say "yes, change that" without a knot in your stomach — whether that's a small business or a team at a bigger company, a real safety net between an AI making a change and that change going live.

Freelancers doing client work with AI

You already use AI for client work but don't fully trust it with anything live, so the tedious parts still get done by hand. Keel is the guardrail that makes you want to hand those off too.

Developers moving fast with AI

You can write code, and AI makes it easy to ship fast — but the review, staging, and rollback habits never had a chance to form. Keel gives you the same safety net a non-technical owner gets, applied to what you're actually shipping.

Anyone with a project and no safety net

A calendar, a spreadsheet, a personal automation you've always wanted to build — you don't need an official "business" to get the same guardrails.

One person, several businesses

You run your own business and help with a couple of others, or you look after several clients. Keel keeps each one separate, and shares between them only what you choose.

Request an account

Keel is a small private test. Leave your email and, if you'd like, a note about what you're hoping to do with it. Cord reads every request and replies personally. There's no charge today.

Used only to answer your request. It's stored by Keel, and a notification that a request arrived (without your details) goes to the service that alerts Cord. Never added to a mailing list. See the Privacy Policy.
