Built by one person, in Brisbane, for businesses like yours.
AVA AI is a solo software business. No VC, no growth-hacks team, no overseas call centre. Just the founder, a small stack of well-chosen tools (Claude, Twilio, ClickSend, Supabase, Stripe), and a founding-member cohort of ten Aussie owners who lose money every week to slow follow-up.
The reason this exists.
Most small businesses in Australia don’t lose to bigger competitors. They lose to whichever business replied first. A sparky misses a quote because the SMS lands while he’s up a ladder. A salon misses a bridal enquiry because the DM came in at 9pm and got read at 7am. A physio misses an acute booking because reception was at lunch.
The fix isn’t bigger marketing — it’s an answer in the next 60 seconds. AVA does that. BookBase makes sure the answer lands somewhere useful. Together they replace four tools and three hours of administration a day.
I run AVA AI from Brisbane. I answer my own emails. If you’re founding member 1–10, you have my personal number on text.
What you can expect from me.
I answer my own emails
Founding members get same-day reply on their direct text line. Anyone else gets next-business-day.
We ship what you vote for
Founding 10 quarterly roadmap vote. Whoever shouts loudest about the next problem decides what we build first.
Your data stays yours
Supabase per-tenant RLS, Stripe handles cards, AVA conversations are owned by your business and exportable any time.
No marketing fluff
If we email you, it’s because something changed in your account. No drip sequences, no “tips” newsletters.
What powers this.
Software is a series of compounding choices. Here are mine.
Anthropic Claude
Haiku 4.5 for intent detection, Sonnet 4 for lead scoring. AVA's brain.
Twilio + ClickSend
Voice and AU SMS. Compliant with the local rules out of the box.
Supabase
Postgres + Auth + storage with row-level security. Per-tenant data isolation.
Stripe
Subscriptions, customer portal, webhooks. AU GST handled.
Expo (BookBase app)
iOS + Android + web from one codebase. Native push, native UI.
Next.js + Vercel (this site)
Same stack as the apps you book on every day. Fast, accessible, easy to maintain.
