Watch Charlie Deploy a CRM and Fill It With Leads
What if you had an AI that could deploy your business tools AND run them for you?
This Is For Founders Who…
You’re paying for expensive tools you rent every month. CRM software. Project management. Email marketing. The bills add up. And you own nothing.
You’re paying for expensive tools you rent every month
CRM software. Project management. Email marketing. Analytics. Customer support. The bills add up. The subscriptions multiply. And you own nothing.
You can’t deploy the free alternatives
You’re not a developer. You don’t know how to set up servers, configure databases, or manage hosting. So you keep paying the monthly fees.
You don’t have time to become a sysadmin
You’re running a business. You need tools that work, not another full-time job managing software infrastructure.
AI tools chat. They don’t actually do the work.
ChatGPT gives you suggestions. Claude drafts responses. But none of them deploy a CRM, configure API keys, or find real leads for your pipeline.
Charlie deploys your tools AND operates them
Need a CRM? Charlie deploys it and fills it with leads. Need project management? Charlie sets it up and creates your first project.
You own everything Charlie deploys
The CRM Charlie deploys? You own it. The data inside? Yours. The customizations? Yours. If you stop using CloudStation tomorrow, your tools keep running.
All in plain English. No technical skills needed.
No configuration files. No command line. No developer required. You tell Charlie what you need for your business. Charlie handles the rest.
You get results, not just software
Charlie doesn’t hand you an empty tool and walk away. Charlie populates your CRM. Sets up your first project. Drafts your first campaign.
How It Works
Just describe what you want. Like you’re talking to a team member.
Tell Charlie What You Need
"I need a CRM for my consulting business." "Set up project management for my team." Just describe what you want. Like you’re talking to a team member.
The Difference
Stop renting. Start owning.
| What You’re Used To | With Charlie | |
|---|---|---|
| Payment model | Pay monthly for software you rent | Pay per app — own everything |
| Your data | Lives on their servers | CloudStation managed or your own infra |
| Control | They control pricing and features | You control everything |
| Operations | You manage everything yourself | Charlie deploys and operates your tools |
| Portability | Switch providers? Start over. | Open source — take it anywhere |
Why Open Source Changes Everything
When you use standard business software, you’re renting. Open source means you own it.
| Traditional | CloudStation | |
|---|---|---|
| CRM | $150/mo (Salesforce) | $17.99/mo (Twenty CRM — you own it) |
| Project management | $30/mo (Asana) | $17.99/mo (Plane — you own it) |
| Email marketing | $100/mo (Mailchimp) | $17.99/mo (Listmonk — you own it) |
| Customer support | $50/mo (Zendesk) | $17.99/mo (Chatwoot — you own it) |
| Analytics | $50/mo (Mixpanel) | $17.99/mo (Plausible — you own it) |
| Data ownership | Rented — on their servers | Yours forever — on your infra |
| Total | $380+/mo — rented, you own nothing | From $17.99/app/mo — you own everything |
Same tools. Fraction of the cost. And you own the data, the code, and the customizations.
