## What is Clone?

Clone is an AI assistant built specifically for solo consultants and boutique advisory firms. It operates the exact apps you already use (Gmail, Google Docs, Sheets, Zoom, your CRM, invoicing tools) and handles the repetitive back-office work that eats into billable hours. You tell Clone what to do in plain English, and it executes: sending invoices, updating your CRM after meetings, drafting follow-up emails, generating client reports, and managing onboarding checklists.

Unlike automation platforms that require you to configure every trigger and field by hand, Clone understands your intent in natural language and adapts to whatever tools are on your screen, including custom or legacy software without APIs.

## Key Differentiators

- **Works With Your Existing Tools**: Gmail, Google Docs, Sheets, Zoom, HubSpot, Pipedrive, QuickBooks, FreshBooks, Stripe, Calendly, Slack, Airtable, DocuSign, and any other app on your computer.
- **No New Software**: Clone does not replace your stack. It drives it. Zero migration, zero learning curve.
- **Plain English Instructions**: Describe what you need done in natural language. No workflows to configure, no triggers to set up.
- **Runs Locally**: Your files, emails, and documents never leave your machine. Connect a local or private LLM if your engagements require it.
- **Learns Your Way of Working**: Clone observes how you handle tasks and adapts. Templates, naming conventions, client preferences, follow-up timing.
- **Always Available**: Scheduled tasks run while you sleep. Morning briefings, weekly reports, invoice reminders, all on autopilot.

## Capabilities

- **Invoicing**: Generate and send invoices from project data. Track payment status. Automated reminders for overdue payments.
- **Client Onboarding**: Create and manage onboarding checklists. Send welcome packets. Set up project folders, shared drives, and communication channels.
- **Zoom to CRM**: After every call, Clone extracts action items, updates your CRM with meeting notes, and drafts follow-up emails to attendees.
- **Follow-up Automation**: Never let a lead or client conversation go cold. Clone tracks response times and sends contextual follow-ups on your behalf.
- **Dashboard and Reporting**: Weekly client status dashboards. Revenue tracking. Hours logged. Pipeline health. All generated from data already in your tools.
- **Hours and Time Tracking**: Automatic time logging based on calendar events, email activity, and document editing. Export to invoicing tools.
- **Document Generation**: Proposals, SOWs, NDAs, and status reports generated from templates with client-specific data filled in.
- **Email Management**: Draft, review, and send emails based on your communication style. Sort and prioritize inbox. Flag urgent client requests.
- **Calendar Management**: Schedule meetings, block focus time, resolve conflicts. Coordinate availability across time zones.

## How It Works

1. **Tell Clone what you need**: Describe a task in plain English. "Send this month's invoices to all active clients." "Update the CRM with notes from today's Zoom calls." "Draft a project proposal for Acme Corp."
2. **It drives your real apps**: Clone opens Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Zoom, your CRM, whatever the task requires. It clicks, types, navigates, and completes the work using your actual tools.
3. **It learns your way of working**: Clone remembers your templates, naming conventions, client preferences, and timing patterns. Each task gets faster and more accurate.
4. **It works while you don't**: Set up recurring tasks (weekly reports, invoice reminders, pipeline updates) and Clone handles them on schedule.

## Architecture

Clone operates through a layered system:

- **You**: Give instructions in plain English
- **Clone Planner**: Breaks your request into steps, selects tools, sequences actions
- **Computer Agent**: Executes actions using accessibility APIs and browser control on your actual apps
- **Memory**: Stores client preferences, templates, past actions for personalization
- **Your Apps**: Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Zoom, CRM, invoicing tools, and any other software
- **Your Business**: Clients, invoices, projects, pipeline, all managed end to end

Design principles:
- Runs on your machine: your data stays local
- Your workflows, your order: adapts to how you work, not the other way around
- Your agents, by design: fully configurable and auditable
- Always retrievable: every action is logged and reversible

## Comparisons

- **Clone vs Zapier**: Zapier requires you to configure every trigger, field, and branch by hand. Clone understands natural language and adapts to whatever tools are on your screen, including custom software without APIs.
- **Clone vs HoneyBook**: HoneyBook is a new tool you have to learn and migrate to. Clone works with the tools you already have open. Zero migration.
- **Clone vs Virtual Assistant**: A good VA costs $3,000-6,000/month and works limited hours. Clone runs 24/7 at $49/month with consistent quality and zero onboarding lag.
- **Clone vs Make/n8n**: Flow-based automation tools require technical setup. Clone takes plain English instructions. No nodes, no branches, no debugging webhooks.

## Ideal Customer Profile

Solo consultants and boutique advisory firms (1-10 people) spending 10+ hours per week on back-office tasks: invoicing, CRM updates, client follow-ups, reporting, onboarding, and email management. Especially those who use Gmail, Google Workspace, Zoom, and a CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive, or Airtable). They want to free up time for billable work but do not want to learn new software or hire staff.

## Use Cases

- "Send this month's invoices to all active clients" (invoicing)
- "Update the CRM with notes from today's Zoom calls" (Zoom to CRM)
- "Draft a follow-up email to everyone I met with last week" (follow-ups)
- "Create an onboarding checklist for the new Acme Corp engagement" (client onboarding)
- "Generate a weekly status dashboard for all active projects" (reporting)
- "Set up a recurring reminder to send pipeline updates every Monday" (scheduling)
- "Log my hours for this week and export to QuickBooks" (time tracking)
