Your team was hired for their expertise. Not to search, follow up, and compile.

SkaLean offers 4 complementary modules:

1. Studio AI: your intelligent knowledge base that indexes your documents (PDF, Word, Excel, emails, 20+ formats) and answers questions with verifiable source citations. Ideal for teams searching through files.
2. AI Assistant: an omnichannel agent deployed on WhatsApp, phone, email, website and 7 other channels. Answers your clients 24/7 with the same quality and knowledge base across all channels.
3. AI Automation: intelligent workflows that replace repetitive tasks. Unlike Zapier, includes an AI decision layer: the AI can read email content to decide which action to trigger.
4. AI Model: the underlying engine, an LLM router that automatically selects the best AI model (GPT-4o, Claude, Mistral, sovereign models) based on context, required compliance, and cost.

These modules share the same knowledge base, client data, and security configuration, creating a coherent system rather than a collection of separate tools.

You can absolutely start with just one module. That is actually the recommended approach for the vast majority of new clients.

Typical approach: start with the module that solves your most immediate problem. If you spend time searching for information in documents, start with Studio AI. If you receive many repetitive client requests, start with the AI Assistant.

Once the first module is operational and you see its value (typically 2 to 4 weeks after launch), you can add a second module. Duo (5%) and Trio (10%) discounts apply if you choose 2 or 3 modules. The first module's configuration is reused by subsequent ones: you are not starting from scratch.

Four different angles on the same problem (saving time and reducing errors):

1. Studio AI: answers the question: where is the information in my files? It is your internal document brain.
2. AI Assistant: answers the question: who handles my clients' requests in their place? It is your automated first point of client contact.
3. AI Automation: answers the question: which repetitive tasks can we eliminate? It is your employee who never sleeps.
4. AI Model: answers the question: which AI brain to use for each task? It is the intelligent infrastructure that runs the other 3 modules optimally.

Metaphor: Studio AI is the library, AI Assistant is the receptionist, AI Automation is the process manager, and AI Model is the central nervous system.

Yes, and this is a major architectural advantage. Unlike stacking separate tools (a chatbot, workflow software, a document search tool), SkaLean modules share:

1. The same document knowledge base: a document indexed in Studio AI is automatically available for the AI Assistant and AI nodes in workflows.
2. The same client profile: a client's interaction history with the assistant is accessible in automation workflows.
3. The same security and permissions configuration: you don't have to reconfigure access rights for each module.
4. The same LLM settings: the AI Model applies to all modules.

Concrete example: a client asks your AI assistant about a product, the assistant searches in Studio AI, Studio AI responds with source citation, then AI Automation automatically creates a follow-up ticket. All with a single initial configuration.

Three questions to identify your priority module:

1. Where do you lose the most time today? If the answer is searching for information in documents or training new employees on procedures, the recommended module is Studio AI. If the answer is answering the same client questions over and over or missing requests outside business hours, the recommended module is AI Assistant. If the answer is repetitive manual tasks that everyone does slightly differently, the recommended module is AI Automation.
2. What is your sector? Some modules have faster ROI depending on the sector: AI Assistant for clinics (no-show reduction), Studio AI for legal and accounting firms (document research), AI Automation for HR and financial services (compliance workflows).
3. Not sure? The free personalized demo is designed for exactly this. A SkaLean advisor analyzes your situation and recommends an optimal entry point.

Yes. Adding a module mid-subscription is a common and non-destructive operation. The existing configuration (knowledge base, security settings, connected integrations, conversation history) is fully preserved and automatically shared with the new module.

Mechanically: you contact your SkaLean advisor, a new onboarding project is initiated for the added module (5 to 10 days), and billing is adjusted pro-rata for the current month. The Duo or Trio discount is applied retroactively to your subscription if you move to 2 or 3 modules.

There are no migration fees or transition periods. Both modules run in parallel from the first day of the new deployment.
