📌 Actually Important
|
We built the thing we kept telling you about. It's called Stackpad.
Every week in this newsletter, we talk about AI tools that help service businesses — chatbots that answer questions, schedulers that book appointments, assistants that follow up with leads. We recommend tools. We explain concepts. We tell you what to try.
But here's what we kept running into: none of these tools talk to each other. You'd need Linktree for your page, Calendly for booking, Chatbase for a chatbot, and then somehow glue them together with Zapier. That's $54+/mo, four tabs open, and zero intelligence between them.
So we built Stackpad — one place where your AI employee lives.
What it actually does:
• Talks to your visitors 24/7 — answers questions about your services, qualifies leads, and books calls directly into your calendar. While you sleep.
• Works behind the scenes — researches prospects before your calls, sends follow-ups you'd forget, reminds you of deadlines, reaches out to leads proactively.
• No menus, no settings, no flowcharts — you describe the job in plain English, and it does the job. "Research every prospect before my calls." "Follow up with anyone who didn't book." "Every Friday, summarize my leads." Done.
This isn't a chatbot with pre-set flows. It's an AI assistant that understands your business and runs it alongside you. |

🔧 What's Included
|
Your landing page + AI agent + CRM — in one place.
🌐 Landing Page
A clean, professional page for your business. No design skills needed — tell the AI what you want changed and it edits the page for you. Infinite customization, zero drag-and-drop frustration.
💬 AI Visitor Chat
An AI that actually knows your business talks to every visitor. It answers questions, qualifies whether they're a good fit, collects their info, and books them — all in a natural conversation. Not a "select from these options" bot.
📋 Lead Capture
Every conversation is captured. When a visitor shares their info, it's logged automatically — no copy-pasting into a spreadsheet. The AI can send reminders, ping you when a high-value lead comes in, and keep your pipeline organized.
💳 Payments & Deposits
Collect deposits and payments right from your page. No separate Stripe setup. No redirecting clients to another site.
📊 Analytics
See where your visitors come from, what they ask, and who converts. Know what's working without staring at Google Analytics. |

🌱 Who This Is For
|
Stackpad is built for service business owners — the people who are great at what they do but spend half their time on everything else.
• Therapists and coaches who lose leads because they can't answer inquiries fast enough
• Contractors and home service pros who need a professional online presence without hiring a web designer
• Salon and spa owners who want 24/7 booking without paying for three different tools
• Consultants and freelancers who want their website to actually generate business, not just sit there
• Anyone with a Linktree who's outgrown it but doesn't want to build a full website
If you spend more time managing your business than doing the work you love — this is for you.
How to get started: Sign up, tell the AI about your business (like you'd brief a new hire), and it builds your page and starts handling visitors. Takes about 10 minutes. |

💬 "How Is This Different?"
|
Fair question. There are a lot of AI chatbots and landing page builders out there. Here's the difference:
Most tools do one thing. Linktree gives you links. Calendly gives you booking. Chatbase gives you a chatbot. You're the glue holding it all together.
Stackpad is the whole employee. It doesn't just answer questions — it qualifies leads, books calls, follows up, reminds you, and does things proactively. It knows your business context. When a visitor says "do you work with commercial properties?" it doesn't give a generic answer — it gives YOUR answer, based on what you told it about your services.
And you configure it by talking to it. Not by dragging boxes into flowcharts or writing "if visitor says X, then do Y" rules. Just: "If someone asks about pricing, tell them we start at $150/session and offer package discounts. If they seem serious, book them."
That's it. That's the setup. |

💰 Pricing
|
Free — $0/mo
Everything you need to get started. AI visitor chat (50 messages/mo), AI page edits, lead capture, payments (5% fee), basic analytics. Stackpad branding included.
Founder — $5/mo forever CLOSES TONIGHT
Let's be clear about what this is: the exact same feature set as Pro ($39/mo) — for $5/mo. Forever. Not a trial. Not a limited version. The full product at 87% off, locked in permanently.
Here's everything you get:
• 500 visitor messages/mo (10x the free tier)
• 300 editor messages/mo (10x the free tier)
• Unlimited AI page edits
• Remove Stackpad branding
• 0% Stackpad fees on payments
• Advanced analytics (sources & UTMs)
• Custom domain (coming soon)
• Direct access to the founding team
• Early access to every new feature
This tier closes tonight and it's never coming back. We're capping it at 500 founders. After that, the only paid option is Pro at $39/mo. Same features, 8x the price.
The math: Linktree ($12) + Calendly ($10) + Chatbase ($32) = $54/mo with zero intelligence between them. Stackpad Founder = $5/mo with everything connected and an AI that actually knows your business. That's $588/year in savings — and you're getting a smarter product. |

💡 Lock It In
|
This is the last email where the Founder tier exists.
Tomorrow, it's gone. The 500-seat cap is real, and once it fills (or the clock runs out), the only paid option is $39/mo.
If you've been reading this newsletter thinking "I should set something up for my business" — this is the moment. Not next week. Not when you "have time." Today.
Lock in $5/mo forever →
No credit card required to start. Cancel anytime before launch. Zero risk.
We built this because we believe every service business deserves an AI employee — not just the ones who can afford a developer. $5/mo is the price of a coffee. And unlike the coffee, this one works 24 hours a day. |

This one's personal. We've been building toward this for months — and we're excited to finally share it with you.
