We host it. You change it.

Six months of hosting come with the kit: the editor for your words and photos, and our tools on every message and every change.

When it looks right, send it to us.
GntLit checks it.
GntLit checks every page against the change you asked for. Anything else comes to us before it goes live.

We read it over, then the new line is on the page people see.

The order

Change a line and see it live, once your site has settled.

Your site goes live as built. Editing it yourself comes next, once it's settled. Every site on this platform has followed the same order.

Ropeline

Every message, screened.

Ropeline reads every message that comes in through your site. Junk is kept back. Real messages reach you.

Sample messages, not real ones.

Ropeline remembers what it has seen. What it learns from junk on one site, it uses on every site it watches. What people write to you is never shared with another site.

Your questions

Can I update my own website without calling a web developer every time?

Yes, once your site has settled. Change a line in the editor, see it in the preview, and send it. We put it live.

How do I make changes without them going live before I'm ready?

Nothing in the editor is public until we put it live. Until you send a change, it waits in the preview, where you see your page at the width of a computer or a phone.

What can I change myself?

The words on your pages, and your photos with the words under them. The editor shows your page, with three tabs: edit, facts and photos.

Will I have to start over later?

No. Your site is written in the form our editor reads. That is what lets you change your own words later without starting over.

What it costs

Hosting comes with DIY.

The kit is $899 for six months, then $149 a month. Both cover everything on this page: hosting with the editor, Ropeline and GntLit, a domain, Scout and the Directory.

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/hosting/: the page I was reading: Hosting and the editor.
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/diy/: DIY, step three: the kit, hosting and the tools.
9. https://beargrassai.com/custom/: custom work, bookings and payments.
10. 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.
