BizChat
A human-centered AI assistant that empowers entrepreneurs of all digital skill levels to turn ideas into business plans — with clarity, confidence, and creativity.
What is BizChat?
BizChat was born from a simple insight:business planning is hard — even harder for entrepreneurs who struggle with digital tools.
Instead of expecting users to navigate complex AI interfaces, BizChat meets them where they are: their own website, their own ideas, their own pace.
Human-Centered Design Principles
Low Floor, High Ceiling
Simple enough for beginners. Powerful enough for experts. From voice-to-text to inline LLM editing — BizChat grows with the user.
