Purpose-built apps
When a tool already solves your exact job better than any DIY build. Don’t reinvent it, turn it on.
Intercom Fin
✓ no installEnd-to-end AI support that resolves tickets across chat/email/WhatsApp per resolution, buy the outcome instead of building a bot.
Tidio (Lyro) / Chatbase
✓ no installThe budget AI support chatbot for lower volume, train on your docs and deflect FAQs from your site without enterprise pricing.
OpusClip
✓ no installTurn one long video into a month of captioned vertical shorts in minutes, the creator default; a DIY build here would be malpractice.
Klaviyo
✓ no installThe ecommerce revenue engine, pre-built abandoned-cart and post-purchase flows recover far more than native; don’t build it, turn it on.

✓ no installExplainable AI resume screening that ranks candidates, the responsible, bias-aware choice over a raw LLM prompt, with AI-hiring laws now in force.
Fireflies / Clay / Apollo
✓ no installBuy the function, not the build: Fireflies for meeting notes, Clay/Apollo for enriched outbound. They out-perform a DIY workflow for their one job.
