Getting started

Three steps. No engineering.

Knox is not magic and it is not a black box. Here is exactly what happens, in order.

1

Connect apps and context

Link your tools through each app's own official sign-in, then tell Knox how your business works: services, area, rules, who approves what.

2

Ask in plain language

Describe the outcome like you'd brief a sharp hire. Knox asks what matters, then shows the full plan: apps, triggers, cost, and limits.

3

Approve, then it works

Knox tests first, then asks for sign-off on exactly what it's allowed to do. Approved pilot runs are designed to file a receipt you can read.

Always on the clock

An operator that never stops working.

1 / 4

Understands your business before it acts.

Knox keeps a living model of your company: services, service area, rules, systems of record, who approves what. So when you ask for something, it designs around your reality instead of guessing.

When a good lead comes in, add it to our CRM, draft a response, and let me approve before anything sends.
Your website form and Angi both create leads. Cover both? And does "good" mean in your service area over your $500 minimum?
2 / 4

Shows you the whole plan in plain English.

Which apps, what triggers it, where the data lives, what it costs, and exactly what it's allowed to do. You see the full architecture before anything runs. Words, not workflow diagrams.

3 / 4

Asks permission for exactly what matters.

Anything sensitive, a message to a customer, a change to your books, waits for your sign-off on the exact action and destination. Approvals expire on their own. You choose what runs free and what always asks.

4 / 4

Proves what happened. Every single run.

The Knox product contract is designed to file a receipt for each approved run: what happened, in which system, confirmed against the app itself, and tied to the exact version that ran. If something fails mid-run, Knox contains it and checks the facts before any retry. The controlled-pilot standard prohibits blind retries and duplicate sends.

Four business spaces

Stop checking eleven apps. Check one.

Everything Knox runs reports into one of four spaces: Sales, Marketing, Support, Operations. Chat with each space about its results, see what's live, and catch what needs you. You always know exactly where to look.

Never lose a lead to slow follow-up.

Leads, opportunities, estimates, and pipeline movement, handled the moment they happen.

→Surface stale opportunities with a recommended next step for each rep

The kind of asks Knox is built for.

Your SOPs in Knox

Write the process once.
Knox follows it every time.

Describe how the work should run in plain English. Knox combines that SOP with the right business information, follows the approval rules, and saves what happened after every run.

Control and proof

No magic. Every step visible.

This illustrates the evidence contract Knox is validating for a controlled pilot action: one approved email, recorded step by step. Each safeguard must be demonstrated in the run evidence before it is treated as verified.

08:41:02request received · plan drafted

Plans from real capabilities

The plan is built from what your connected apps can actually do. If something isn't possible, Knox says so here, before anything gets built.

08:41:29connections verified with each provider

Credentials stay with the provider

Apps are linked through their own official sign-in. Knox never sees or stores your passwords, and you can revoke access from the app itself, anytime.

08:41:55sandbox test · failure, duplicate, edge cases → pass

Tested before anything real

Pilot automations must pass failure, duplicate, and edge-case testing before they are approved to touch a live system.

08:42:31approval requested · exact draft + destination · expires 24h

Approvals are exact, and they expire

Your sign-off covers this message, to this recipient, nothing else. Approvals lapse on their own, so nothing runs on last month's permission.

08:43:04sent once · confirmed against the provider

Receipts for every run

The result is verified with the app itself, not assumed from a log line, and tied to the exact version that ran.

08:43:05anomaly path armed · unclear outcomes quarantine

Contained failures

If anything is ever unclear mid-run, it's quarantined and checked against the facts before any retry. The controlled-pilot standard prohibits blind retries and duplicate sends.

Why Knox

Plenty of tools build automations. Knox runs the whole loop.

Understand, connect, build, test, prove, operate, repair, revise. The value isn't any single step. It's that one system owns all eight.

Where most owners start

The first win: never let a lead go cold again.

One sentence from you becomes a complete, governed lead-response system. Here's the actual shape of it.

Software operates it.

Questions owners ask us

Fair questions. Straight answers.

01

Do I need to be technical to use Knox?

+

No. You describe outcomes in plain language and approve plans written in plain language. You never see a workflow diagram, an API, or a line of code. If you can brief an employee, you can run Knox.

02

Can Knox do something in my business without me knowing?

+

No. Every automation is tested before activation, sensitive actions wait for your sign-off on the exact action and destination, and every run files a receipt. You decide what runs freely and what always asks first.

03

Does Knox replace my CRM or the software I already use?

+

No. Knox operates on top of your existing tools and keeps them as the source of truth. If you don't have a CRM yet, Knox can hold your client records until you do.

04

What happens when something breaks?

+

Knox is built to contain failure, not hide it. Unclear outcomes are quarantined and checked against the app itself before any retry, so nothing gets sent twice, and you see exactly what happened and what Knox did about it.

05

What does it cost?

+

Knox costs $2,000 for one-time setup, then $99 a month for the platform. No per-seat fees and no percentage of revenue. Full breakdown on the pricing page.

What owners say

What it's like to run on Knox.

“
Honestly, I was not sure how this would go for a small foundation like ours, but Evan made the whole thing easy. He jumped on calls, answered every question I had, and got everything set up around how we actually work. He was more accommodating than he had to be. Now Knox builds our outreach campaigns and donor funnels. I tell it who we are trying to reach, and it drafts the sequence, sets up the follow ups, and keeps it all moving. Nothing goes out until I approve it. It really does feel like having an outreach team we never had to hire.
