StartwiseMake technology work for you.Built to work for us. Now they work for you.
We identify problems that bug us and then re-imagine how to solve them with an AI-native approach. Try them. You'll soon wonder how you worked without them.

kansoBetaMost digital assistants ask too much — like full system access — or do too little. kanso is our AI productivity platform that strips away the noise so you can focus on what actually matters.

huManagerLiveManaging people is hard. Managing an AI-augmented workforce at scale is harder. huManager is our AI-native approach to HR — handling performance tracking, 1:1 prep, team pulse, and the stuff managers never had time for even before they had AI agents reporting to them.

Built for these teams.
- Managers and HR teams
Running a team that has already started working alongside AI agents — or knows it will soon — and need tools designed for that reality rather than adapted from last decade's HRIS.
- Individuals who want focused AI assistance
Done with AI tools that ask for everything and deliver noise. kanso is for people who want AI that respects their attention and works with how they already think.
- Founders sitting on an unsolvable problem
Sometimes client work turns into a product. If you've hit a problem that shouldn't exist and can't find a tool that solves it, we want to hear about it.
Good questions.
Are these products free to use?
Each product has its own pricing model. kanso and huManager both have free tiers. Pricing details live on each product's own site.
Can I use them without working with Startwise?
Yes. These are standalone products — you do not need to be a Startwise consulting client to use any of them. They exist independently and are designed to be self-serve.
What does Live / Beta mean in practice?
Live means the product is in production and generally available — real users, real data, real support. Beta means core functionality is stable but the product is still being actively shaped by feedback; expect rough edges.
How do products get created — can I suggest one?
Most products start as a problem we or a client kept running into that no existing tool solved well. If you are sitting on a problem like that, tell us. We can't guarantee it becomes a product, but the ones that did all started with exactly that kind of conversation.
Who owns the IP on these products?
Startwise owns the products and their underlying IP. Where a product originated from client work, we scoped that arrangement explicitly before building. If you are worried about this in the context of a partnership or pilot, bring it up early — we are direct about how ownership works.
Are any of the products open source?
Not currently. We may open-source components of specific products as they mature, but the core of each product is proprietary. If open-source licensing is important to your situation, let us know and we can discuss what is possible.
