Business Software You Own, Built When You Ask.

A CRM, workflows, AI agents and an approval inbox that run on your own machine or cloud. When you need something it doesn't do, ask: your coding agent or ours builds it, it's checked before it goes live, and your data never leaves your infrastructure.

The problem

Your Software Has Been Telling You No.

So you stopped asking. You changed how the company works to match the tools, and the list of things you actually need just sits there.

The polite no

The Roadmap

You asked for the one field that would make the pipeline make sense. It went to a product team somewhere else. That was two years ago.

The expensive no

The Seat Bill

You hired someone, and every tool you run sent an invoice for it. The bill grows with the team, and the answer stays the same.

The quiet no

The Rebuild

So you built it yourself with AI. It worked for a week. Then the chat closed, a key expired, and it died on a laptop. The work was real. It just had nowhere to live.

The deal has changed

Start Asking Again

Software used to be expensive to write, so it was written once and sold to everyone, and you got whatever fit the average company. That is gone: software can now be written for one company in minutes. What was missing was a safe place to run it on a real business, with real data. That is the part we built.

Who it's for

For Everyone With a List They Stopped Asking About

You built it. Now it has to last.

Operators and Technical Founders

You made something useful with Claude, Cursor or an agent, and right now it lives on a laptop. You want it running on real data, for people who aren't you, next year.

  • Ops, RevOps, or a founder comfortable with a terminal
  • Already using HubSpot, Zapier or a coding agent
  • At least one thing you built that never shipped

You've become the integration.

Operations Leaders

The work lives in a CRM, a dozen spreadsheets and people's inboxes, and you carry it between them by hand. Every automation anyone tries dies at the first integration, so nothing compounds.

  • 50 to 500 people, with a named owner for operations
  • Records spread across systems that were never joined up
  • An AI plan that keeps stalling on plumbing rather than models

You've been giving away what you're good at.

Agencies and Consultancies

You've built the same client system four times and billed hours each time. Build it once as a module and install it into every client's own KickSide, with your name on it.

  • Dev shops, MSPs and consultancies, roughly 8 to 80 people
  • Repeat client builds in ops, CRM or automation
  • Clients who need to own and control what you deliver

Watch One Get Built

Recorded on a fresh KickSide. One prompt gets a working deal CRM; one description gets a workflow that stops for a person to approve.

One prompt to a working deal CRM 0:55 Your coding agent installs the CRM from the Hub, sets up companies, contacts and a six-stage pipeline, and imports a list of founders.
Describe it. Your agent builds the workflow. 0:50 Your agent builds a workflow that researches a company, drafts a brief and an intro email, and stops in the inbox for a person to approve.
What you get today

Start With What You Need. Ask for the Rest.

Day one covers what most companies need: contacts, deals, an approval inbox, documents and AI agents. Need something else? Ask for it, and it arrives as a module: a ready-made piece of software that plugs into the same data and the same rules, so it works with everything already there. Switch the groups below on and off to see what changes.

    Every change above is one recorded install, applied live. Remove a group and its screens, tools and permissions leave with it.

    Safety, privacy and the record

    Nothing Gets In Unchecked. Everything Leaves a Record.

    What a module may touch is decided by you and checked on every attempt. Every install and every run leaves a record you can read, and so can your auditor.

    It starts with no access.A new piece of software can't read your files, reach the internet, or touch anything else until you allow it.
    Everything is written down.What ran, for whom, against which record. Your compliance team can read it without asking us.
    One company per KickSide.Nothing is shared with other customers, and your data never passes through our servers unless you choose that. Model calls go to the provider you pick, on your own key.

    FAQ

    Questions Before You Start

    KickSide is business software you own, where new tools arrive when you ask for them and keep running. Each company runs its own KickSide, on its own machine, server or cloud. What you or your AI tools build lives next to your real data, under permissions you set.

    KickSide is free to self-host, and complete when you run it yourself. KickSide Cloud and Enterprise are quoted for your setup and start with a conversation.

    No. Connect it and keep it. Start with the one thing HubSpot said no to.

    It's source-available. You can change it, run it in production at any size, and fork it. You can't sell KickSide itself or host it for third parties who pay you for access. Building for clients, building your own modules and forking under a new name are all free. The license in plain language

    Wippy is the open-source runtime (MPL-2.0) our team built for software that keeps changing while it runs. KickSide is the application that runs on it. When you install KickSide, you install Wippy first, then Wippy downloads and starts KickSide. You don't need to learn Wippy to use KickSide. How the engine works

    No. Your data, private modules and synced history are not used to train models. The full security and privacy overview

    Your software doesn't go with us. Your KickSide keeps running. It's on your machine, and nothing needs to check in with us to keep working. Each version keeps the license it shipped with.

    A coding agent is the best way to build a tool and the worst place to keep one. Connect Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client to your KickSide and what it builds runs on your real data, for the whole team, with permissions and a record. How the connection works.

    KickSide is built by Spiral Scout, the software company John Griffin founded in 2010. We run our own sales pipeline on KickSide, which is how a good deal of it got specified, and when you write to us you reach the people who build it.
