Company profile, prior answers, research, and files indexed.
One place to run the company
The operating layer between messy startup conversations and finished work.
Crux should feel like your team room, project desk, grant-writing memory, and admin cockpit in one fast workspace. The goal is not another tab. It is the system that remembers what the team already decided.
Team chat
Channels, DMs, files, pins, read state, reactions, and AI summaries stay tied to the work.
Planning boards
Tasks, milestones, blockers, assignments, and AI-generated plans move straight from conversation.
Grant engine
Company memory, shared resources, market research, and previous answers become grounded grant drafts.
Startup ops
Purchases, feedback, intern logs, reminders, and admin controls live beside the daily operating rhythm.
AI grounded in company data
Every answer gets better because the whole workspace becomes context.
Grant applications stop starting from blank pages. Agents can pull from chats, files, board tasks, research requests, intern updates, purchase reasoning, and the company profile with access checks enforced server-side.
Collect
Messages, files, answers, market notes, tasks, reminders, and decisions land in one database.
Ground
AI retrieves relevant workspace context before drafting, planning, or assigning work.
Act
Outputs become tasks, summaries, grant answers, reminders, and searchable project history.
Workspace memory
Retrieved with access checks
Secure by design
Built for sensitive startup work, not casual group chat.
Crux holds grant strategy, financial requests, research, and private team decisions. The landing page now reflects that seriousness: focused, secure, and operational.
Google OAuth and invite-gated access
Role-aware admin controls and blocked-user handling
Audit-ready activity history for sensitive operations
Server-side access checks before AI or data retrieval
Sell the product as the startup workspace that remembers everything.
The next product slices should turn this landing promise into the app: faster realtime, richer project views, grounded AI retrieval, and polished mobile notifications.
