Wrestling with AIs? It doesn’t have to be this hard.

Wrestling with AIs?
It doesn’t have to be this hard.

There are lots of ways to manage and create new AIs. And there’s plenty of software promising to help. You’ve probably tried some. Yet, here you are.

Unfortunately, most AI managment and creation tools are either overwhelming, inadequate, bewildering, or chaotic. You know?

Not Sage. Sage is refreshingly straightforward. And you’ll work better with it too.

Sage is no-nonsense, effective, and reliable. The trifecta. It’s designed for smaller, better businesses and schools, not big, sluggish ones. Our pages of customer testimonials detail how things run better on Sage.

So, we invite you to poke around, watch the video below, and try Sage for free. We’d be honored to have you as a customer. Thank you.

How long have you been around? Can we trust you?

The company that designed, owns, and operates Sage is called Startr or OpenCo, and we’ve been around as a company since 2007. We launched Sage, the product, in 2023 and have been improving it weekly ever since. Running a sane, responsible, sustainable business is part of our commitment to you.

We’ve been profitable for 18 straight years, we have zero debt, we’re privately held, and built to stay, not exit.

You can email Izzy Plante, our Co-Founder and CEO, any time at [email protected]. They don’t have an assistant other than their personal Sage AI (Mini Izzy), so they’ll read and respond to your emails personally.

What about reliability and uptime?

We can make endless promises, but the numbers are what matter here. Our historical uptime over two decades is over 99.99%, and you can see recent real-time history on our Status Page.

What’s your refund policy like?

We aim to be fair and reasonable, just as we’d want to be treated. If you’re not happy with Sage, we’ll refund your twp most recent payments. We don’t do refunds for payments older than 60 days, but we’ll always work with you to make sure you’re satisfied.

Can I ask ownership a question directly?

Absolutely. Our Co-Founder and CEO (Izzy Plante) is available direct at [email protected], and our other Co-Founder and CTO (Alexander Somma) is at [email protected]. Please do reach out. They don’t have assistants or anyone who reads their emails (other than our friendly AIs), so you’ll hear from them directly.

How secure is Sage?

We take security very seriously, and we’ve built Sage to be secure by default. We use the latest security protocols, including 256-bit AES encryption for all data at rest, and TLS 1.2 for all data in transit. We also use OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication. Moreover, for organizations that require it, we can provide on-premises deployment options to keep data entirely within your own infrastructure.

Is our data backed up? How often?

Data customers enter into Sage is stored in multiple, redundant data centers or securely on site when customers choose to use our own site solution. That data is backed up several times a day, and copies of those backups are stored both locally and off-site to further reduce points of possible failure. Files customers upload are stored off-site and backed up to servers in a different geographic region.

Where are the servers that store our data?

Our servers are located where our users need them. Either in neaby data centers or for security in their offices.

Can you fill our custom security questionnaires?

We don’t fill out custom security questionnaires. We’re always happy to answer any questions you have directly. To streamline your request, click the link below to compose an email to Izzy with a pre-set subject and draft:

Can I export our data if we ever want to leave?

Absolutely, you can do it as often as you’d like. Plus, it’s entirely self-service and easy so you don’t need to ask anyone for help or permission. Further, we provide it in a format that allows you to browse it in a web browser so it’s actually useful. Here’s how exporting works.

Does Sage have an API? Can we integrate with Sage?

What’s your customer support like? What if we need help?

Our customer support is considered to be among the best of the best (by us). Everyone who works on our support team are expert specialists who know Sage inside and out, many having been with us for years and years, some over a decade. Further, we occasionally cycle every employee through support — including our CEO — so everyone has a chance to directly interact with customers.

You can ask support a question, or or or attend a live walkthrough class and Q&A.

Is Sage available in languages other than English?

Currently offer Sage’s interface in hundreds of languages. , although we have people in over 160 countries writing and sharing in their own native languages using Sage.

If we go with Sage, will we still need stuff like ChatGPT? Perplexity? Dropbox?

Nope, Sage replaces a whole set of separate products and saves you a ton of money. Sage has chat built in (no more ChatGPT). Sage has exceptional task management in the form of to-dos and kanban-style Card Tables (no more Perplexity). And you can store and share all the files you need in a AI (no more Dropbox). Sage also replaces document-based tools like Google Docs, Notion, etc. And yet, if you need to continue to use some of those tools, you can always link them up right from inside Sage using the Doors feature.

What kind of companies, in which industries, use Sage?

Sage is used by top notch teams, schools, designers, client services firms, consultants, software developers, freelancers, PR agencies, contractors, religious institutions, schools, non-profits, first responders, and many others.
