What a general AI chatbot leaves you to do
A general AI assistant can help you think, research, or draft. The work after that still lands on you: shape the offer, build the product and website, publish, plan how people will find it, and decide what should happen next.
DoAny keeps research, product, and website work around the same company, then does the work that follows: daily posts, outreach, the CRM, and customer replies. You keep directing the company and approving the big calls.
The plain answer
What is an AI business assistant?
An AI business assistant is software that helps complete defined business work, not only answer questions. It can research, draft, organize, and take supported actions through connected tools. DoAny applies that help to a new online business: it researches the idea and builds the product and website, then posts daily, does outreach, runs the CRM, and answers customers around the clock.
Judge an assistant by the work it can complete, the decisions it leaves with you, and whether you can inspect the result.See the category for yourself

Questions, answered plainly
AI business assistant FAQs
What is an AI business assistant?
An AI business assistant is software that helps complete defined business work such as research, drafting, organization, follow-up, and supported operational tasks. Unlike a simple question-and-answer tool, it can help move work into the systems where the business is built and run.
What does DoAny's AI business assistant do?
DoAny researches an idea and market and builds the product and website. Then Annie posts daily, does outreach, runs the CRM, and answers customers around the clock. The founder sets direction and approves the big calls.
How is DoAny different from a general AI chatbot?
A general chatbot is useful for answers, analysis, and drafts. DoAny is organized around an online company, so the conversation leads into research, the product and website, and the daily marketing, sales, and support work that follows.
What can an AI assistant do for a small business?
For a small business, an AI assistant can help research, draft, organize, and prepare repeatable work. DoAny is built for starting a new online business, or a new DoAny project around an idea you already understand.
What should I delegate first?
Start with one frequent, visible, lower-risk job. A market brief, clearer website offer, search content plan, outreach draft, or customer follow-up workflow is easier to review and improve than a vague instruction to run everything.
Will DoAny take actions without my approval?
Turning on payments, rendering paid media, starting a new recurring job, and connecting an outside account each stop at an approval card, and typing “yes” in chat never counts. Everyday work you have set up, such as Annie’s daily posts, runs without a card for each item, and every scheduled task can be paused. Credits stop hard, with no overage or automatic recharge.
Do I need technical skills or a team?
You can start in plain language and do not need to code to begin. Specialist integrations, regulated uses, and high-risk decisions may still require testing and qualified human expertise.
How much does DoAny cost?
Free is $0, and it can go live and take real payments through Stripe. Pro starts at $25 per month with 100 monthly credits and adds custom domains and unlimited team members. DoAny takes 0% of your sales on every plan (Stripe’s fees still apply), and hosting uses no credits. Top-ups add capacity; see the pricing page for current allowances and larger plan sizes.
Does an AI business assistant replace employees?
It can take on parts of repeatable workflows and reduce the amount of manual work a founder needs for some business functions. It does not remove human accountability for judgment, relationships, quality, compliance, or work requiring professional expertise.
Does DoAny guarantee rankings, customers, or revenue?
No. DoAny does the daily work: search visibility, daily posts, outreach, the CRM, and customer replies. Results still depend on the market, offer, pricing, competition, execution, platform rules, and customer behavior.
