Lean start
Free tiers used properly, with one paid assistant doing the heavy lifting. Enough to fix one job.
How it works
What you do, what we do.
Four steps between a questionnaire and an AI setup that actually runs in your business. No jargon, and nothing that renews on its own.
01About two minutes, free
Answer the questionnaire
You
You tell us your trade, your team size, what eats your week, your budget, and the tools you already pay for.
Dapols
We match your answers to the plan built for your kind of business, and tell you which one and why.
Who does each job
- You
- You + AI
- You
The calls only you should make. Each one comes with a reason.
- You + AI
AI does the work using your tools, such as your booking, payments or email app. You approve before anything goes out.
You can change who does any job, in any plan.

See the plan before you pay

We price the tools at every budget from the live catalog, with the date we last checked each number.

Unlock it, and your AI consultant adapts it
You
You pay $99 once. Nothing continues, and we keep no card for a later charge.
Dapols
Your AI consultant drafts the changes that fit the plan to you — swaps, additions, what to drop — straight away, and a person at Dapols checks each draft.
- 04
Minutes
Your website, drafted by AI
You
You answer about 3 minutes of questions about your business and the pages you want.
Dapols
AI drafts up to 5 pages from your answers. You edit it in a live preview, then publish to a hosted link or download the files.
How a pick is made
Three things decide every recommendation
The recommendation
One pick per job, with the reason it beat the alternatives — and what not to buy yet.
Your operating plan
The job, the tools, the AI wording and the setup order, in one place you can act on.
Inside the plan
Everything a plan contains — before you pay for one.
This is a real plan, not a mock-up. Open any part of it and you're looking at the actual record we ship, drawn from the same 28 plans the questionnaire assigns from.

Restaurant & Café
Every plan starts with one job and the person who owns it — not a list of tools looking for a use.
Who it's for
Independent restaurants, cafés, and small food businesses.
What it covers
Fill more tables, answer diners instantly, and keep your socials buzzing — without hiring extra staff.
You're looking at the Restaurant & Café plan. It's public in full, free, with nothing held back — so you can judge the work before you spend anything.
What the paid setup adds is yours specifically: your AI consultant adapts the plan to the tools and hours you actually have, a person checks its drafts, and support answers from your plan rather than the generic one.
Budgets
Four budgets in every plan
You are never locked to one set of tools. Every plan names the exact tools at each monthly budget, so you can start lean and move up when the work justifies it.
The common one
Most businesses land here. Adds enquiry capture, booking, and replies to reviews and messages.
Growing
Adds your CRM, messages across more than one channel, and document handling that would otherwise be typing.
Higher volume
For real volume: connected systems, several AI helpers working in turn, and the stronger AI models where they earn their cost.
The review
What a checked change looks like
Your AI consultant drafts changes against your answers, and a person checks each one before it is added to your plan. This is an example of the kind of note that results — written to show the shape of the work, not taken from a customer's plan.
Swapped the general drafting prompt for a fee-proposal template that follows UK planning language, and added an approval step before anything is emailed to a client. Set the assistant up to read project drawings locally rather than uploading them.
Notes like this land on your plan, next to the step they change.
Your own assistant
Use the plan with ChatGPT, Claude, and Codex
An unlocked plan comes with instruction files and connection settings you can paste straight into the assistant you already use, so it knows your setup, your tools, and the rules you want it to keep.
- 01
Claude and Claude Code
Connection settings and project instructions in the format Anthropic's tools read.
- 02
ChatGPT and custom GPTs
Starting instructions carrying your tone, the boundaries you set, and examples of good output.
- 03
Cursor and command line
Rules files and scripts for the jobs you run from an editor or a terminal.
Background
Where this comes from
01
Large companies hire a forward-deployed engineer: someone technical who sits inside the business, finds the bottleneck, picks the tools, and wires them together. Hiring one starts around $160,000 a year.
02
A small business has the same problem — hundreds of overlapping tools, pricing that is hard to compare, and no obvious place to start — and no way to justify that hire.
03
Dapols does the repeatable part of that job as software, with a person checking the AI drafts, for $99 once.
Kept current
Dapols runs the search, AI-answer and competitor research each month. You receive a dated briefing explaining what changed, what it means and what to do next.
See the monthly research and example briefingAbout a month later: you choose
We ask whether you want Kept current. Nothing starts unless you say yes.
Optional at $29/month. About a month after setup, we ask whether you want to start. It starts only if you say yes. Stop any time and keep your plan.
The subscription also includes a monthly plan re-assessment, model-release notes explained for your business, price-change alerts and dated Friday updates.
Works with ChatGPT
Ask ChatGPT about your plan.
Open your Dapols plan in the ChatGPT desktop app's built-in browser and ask about it. ChatGPT can pull the right tools, AI wording, setup step and safety rule straight from the page instead of guessing.
For technical readers: how this works
OpenAI calls these Site tools: ChatGPT's implementation of WebMCP, the proposed standard for websites to expose structured tools to AI agents. The agent works with the same live page and signed-in session while the business owner stays in control.
These tools read and explain your plan. They cannot spend money, publish, send messages or change permissions. A person approves every high-impact action.
