ERP•AI partners Applications are open to everyone

Partners.
Build an AI practice on what you already know.

You know how your clients run. Proto builds the system.

Proto builds ERP, CRM, HR and finance systems from a plain-language brief. You bring the knowledge of how the client's business runs, deliver the system, and keep everything you charge. ERP•AI also pays you what each customer pays for ERP•AI credits in its first 12 months.

Apply to join How it works
Joining is free $100 of ERP•AI credit on every key Weekly payouts in cash
Payouts On top of your own fees

Keep everything you charge.
We add their first year.

Charge your client what you charge today and keep all of it. When an unrelated customer buys ERP•AI credits with its own money, we pay you the same amount for its first 12 months. Architects and Publishers then receive half of it until month 36. $5M is set aside for year one.

What Proto builds From your brief

What Proto drafts
from your brief.

Proto drafts the tables, forms, pages, workflows and permissions of a system from a plain-language brief, using the ERP•AI builder skills. You review and finish it before the client sees it.

Tables and fields
Tables with text, number, date, currency, select, file and user fields, formulas, rollups, and AI columns that fill a value from other fields.
Relationships
Links between tables with automatic backlinks, line items inside a parent record, and totals rolled up from child records.
Views
Table, kanban, calendar, gallery and Gantt views, entry forms, and views filtered for each role.
Workflows
Scheduled, webhook, record-change and email triggers. Each workflow is run end to end before it is switched on.
Pages
Dashboards, forms and charts that read and write the system's own data.
Roles and access
Permissions per table for reading, creating, editing and deleting records, and email invitations with a role.
Data import
Spreadsheets, CSV, PDFs including scans, Word files, email exports, JSON and XML. Imports are deduplicated and record where each value came from.
Changes after go-live
Schema changes are made on a branch, checked and merged, with snapshots, audit logs and version history for recovery.
