The kit

$899 for six months

Six months of hosting with the editor, a domain up to about $10, Scout and the Directory included. Then $149 a month keeps all of it.

What a year costs: $1,793 the first year, then $1,788 a year. The kit is built with Claude Code, which needs a paid Claude plan, priced separately by Anthropic.

The six months start when you get the kit.

Your domain is registered to you. We look after it, and it's always yours.

Ropeline

Ropeline screens every message your site receives, before it reaches you. What it learns on one site helps every site it watches. The messages themselves never cross between sites.

Talk to your AI about this

Copy this and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or whatever you use. It brings this page with it, and tells your AI where to read the rest.

I'm looking at BeargrassAI (https://beargrassai.com/). BeargrassAI helps owner-led rural small businesses get found and described truthfully, by people and by AI. One person, Mark Ulett, in Columbia Falls, Montana. Help me decide whether it fits my business.

Read before you answer. Open each link yourself; do not guess what it says, and tell me if one will not open.

1. https://beargrassai.com/diy/: the page I was reading: BeargrassAI DIY.
2. https://beargrassai.com/llms.txt: who BeargrassAI is, when it fits, every price and the facts.
3. https://beargrassai.com/llms-full.txt: every page in full, if you can read a long file.
4. https://beargrassai.com/pricing/: what each thing costs and what it includes.
5. https://validated.directory/b/beargrassai: BeargrassAI's own record in its directory, the kind of record a business gets.
6. https://beargrassai.com/directory/: the Directory, step one.
7. https://beargrassai.com/scout/: Scout, step two.
8. https://beargrassai.com/custom/: custom work, bookings and payments.
9. https://beargrassai.com/about/: who builds it and answers the phone.

How to weigh it:
- Check each claim against the page it comes from, and name the page.
- Work out what it would cost me in a year from the pricing page, not from memory.
- Look at BeargrassAI's own directory record as an example of what my business would get.
- Say plainly if it does not fit, or if something simpler or free would do.

First, ask me three or four questions about my business: what I do, the towns I serve, who my customers are, and what they ask before they call. Wait for my answers. Do not guess.

Then tell me, in plain words:

One. Whether BeargrassAI fits my business, and which of its offers, if any.
Two. What it would cost me in the first year.
Three. What I would have afterwards that I do not have now.
Four. Anything you could not check, and how I could check it.
