The operating system for a one-person company

One person. Several organizations. One operating system.

Sage brings your company context, daily brief, and work drafts into one place. Give it an outcome, review a grounded starting point, and keep the decisions in your hands. Each organization has its own workspace.

Built by Perpetual Core and being tested in its own workspaces. No card for the trial; paid plans are opening through a controlled pilot.

  • Approval before action
  • Reviewable work
  • Export or delete anytime
The operating loop

Every serious piece of work moves through the same five states.

This is the whole method. Sage enforces it so you do not have to remember to.

  1. Name the outcome

    The change you want, who owns it, the time window, and what would count as proof.

  2. Delegate bounded work

    Define a scoped mission, required artifact, and stopping point. Sage prepares a kickoff draft for review.

  3. Review before it moves

    The work, the assumptions, the risks, and the exact proposed action. You approve, edit, or decline.

  4. Record what happened

    A receipt for the real result. Missing evidence stays marked unknown, never assumed done.

  5. Keep the lesson

    What worked is remembered. What the evidence cannot support is not claimed.

Receipts

Everything Sage does leaves a receipt. So does everything it refuses.

Work completed is not the same as an outcome achieved, and unknown stays unknown. Sage writes down what it staged, what a person approved, and where its authority stopped.

One desk

Your workspace, organized around the work.

Today

A brief for your active workspace, grounded in available company records and connected sources.

Work

Define a mission and review a kickoff draft, with the context and next steps gathered in one place.

Review

Every staged proposal, with its evidence, waiting for your decision.

Company

People, organizations, projects, and commitments, kept straight and connected.

A closer look

What a day on Sage looks like.

Today

A clearer starting point for your day.

Start with the available projects, calendar, inbox, and remembered context in your active workspace. Sage brings them into a brief you can check, with source gaps kept visible.

  • What needs you, surfaced, not buried in a thread
  • Open loops tracked across web and voice
  • One clear focus, so you start the day pointed
Ask Sage

Ask with your company context close at hand.

Open Sage from the app and ask. It can use relevant saved memory, shared company records, and attached documents to ground the conversation. Add context or correct the record when something is missing.

  • Ask from across the app
  • Uses relevant saved context alongside the conversation
  • Speak or type, same memory, same Sage
Read

Read a document with a clearer set of questions.

Hand Sage a contract, a deck, or a long thread. It gives you the gist, flags what matters, and tells you the questions you should be asking. Then interrogate the document like you would a sharp colleague.

  • A summary, questions, and gaps to examine
  • Follow-up answers stay grounded in the document
  • Built for contracts, decks, memos, research
Drafts

A draft that starts with what you mean.

Give Sage the answer or points you want to communicate. It prepares a starter for you to review, keeping unresolved details visible rather than treating them as facts.

  • Start with your own words and intended answer
  • Reviewable starters for your correspondence
  • Check the facts and edit before using
Proposals

Review what Sage proposes.

When enabled, overnight work can prepare proposals from your open loops. Their status depends on the workspace settings: Manual waits for approval, Preview records a preview, and Live can stage supported categories. Check the receipt before treating anything as completed.

  • At most a couple of proposals a night, never a pile
  • You see exactly what will be staged before you approve
  • Approve or decline; undo is available for supported staged artifacts
The map

Explore the connections in your saved context.

Explore people, organizations, projects, and goals represented in saved context. The map helps you navigate those relationships and notice connections that need correction or more detail.

  • A living picture of your world, built from memory
  • See how people, projects, and goals connect
  • Tap any node to ask Sage about it
Private by design

Your memory is yours.

Everything Sage knows about you lives in one place you control. Export it whenever you want. Delete any piece, or all of it, anytime. Never sold, never used to train models. Privacy is the foundation, not a setting.

  • Export everything, anytime
  • Delete individual memories when they are no longer useful
  • Never sold, never used to train models
When one person becomes two

Add a teammate without giving up your private memory.

A shared workspace holds the company. Your own memory, inbox, and files stay yours. Shared notes and outputs are visible to the workspace; personal context stays separate.

Share deliberately.

Personal memory stays separate from shared notes and outputs. Choose what you share, and manage it through the available sharing and deletion controls.

Answers with receipts.

Shared context can include its author and source. Review that evidence and resolve gaps before acting.

One relationship, many hands.

Sage stays one chief of staff. Work areas provide different ways to frame a kickoff draft, with you reviewing the result.

Who it is for

Made for people who hold more than one thing.

Founders running several things

A company, a fund, a program, a side venture. Sage keeps each in its own workspace and you in one seat.

Nonprofit and ministry leaders

Boards, donors, members, and programs, with boundaries around people and data that the AI respects.

Operators and builders

If you are tired of re-explaining yourself to AI and moving context between tools by hand, this is for you.

Questions, answered.

  • How is this different from a chat assistant or an agent with its own computer?

    Sage organizes company context, conversations, and reviewable work in separate workspaces. You can define a mission, review its kickoff draft, and keep useful outputs for the team. Available actions depend on your connections and workspace settings.

  • Do you actually use it?

    Perpetual Core is testing Sage in its own organizations’ separate workspaces. The product you can trial is the same product, with broader operating workflows still being verified.

  • Is my data private?

    Yes. Your memory is yours: exportable, deletable, never sold, and never used to train models. Workspaces are isolated at the database level, not just in the interface.

  • What does Sage do overnight?

    If you turn the agent on, Sage reviews your open loops while you sleep and prepares at most a couple of proposals: drafts, research memos, meeting prep. Manual waits for you, Preview shows what would happen, and Live can stage approved categories automatically with Sage named in the audit trail. These workflows do not send email or move money. Undo is available for supported staged artifacts.

  • Can my team use it?

    Yes. The Team plan gives up to five seats one shared memory of the work. Personal context stays separate; notes and outputs explicitly shared to the workspace are visible to its members. Sharing and deletion controls let you manage the saved material.

  • What does it cost?

    Every workspace starts with a 14-day Operator trial, no card and no automatic charge. Plans are listed from $29 a month; general checkout is opening through a controlled pilot.

Run the company. Keep the judgment.

Fourteen days, no card. Build your first operating brief and decide whether Sage earns a place in how you work.
