Savia is an artificial intelligence implementation that digitises your company's knowledge: anyone asks it and it answers instantly, with the source and the date. When it detects something is missing, it goes and asks the expert. Best of all: it learns on its own. If you tell it something or say «remember this», it has it in the next answer.
All five come in without paying anything: neither the rollout nor the first month of use. And the month starts counting the day you go live, not the day you sign. I do the rollout in person.
55 seconds, no sound: the text tells it. A question typed by hand, the answer, and the sources with the date of each one. The documents belong to a demo company I built myself, but what you see working isn't a mock-up: it's the product that is up and running.
Savia is in production and it works. What it doesn't have yet are clients you can ring to ask how it went.
That's the whole reason for this programme. I need five companies that use it for real, that tell me what breaks and that, if it ends up being useful to them, say so with their name on it. In exchange, they come in on terms I won't repeat afterwards.
I'm not selling it cheap. I'm selling it early.
Nearly every company I talk to has a wiki, a Notion or a shared folder that started well and that nobody opens today.
The tool didn't fail. What failed is that keeping it up to date is a job nobody enjoys, and that asking someone over chat is always cheaper and faster.
Savia starts from there. It feeds on what you already have — documents, videos — and if someone asks something the system can't answer, that question isn't lost: it's logged and routed to the assigned expert. The list of what it doesn't know is what keeps it alive.
It's the good objection and I'm not going to dodge it.
I don't ask your team to document anything. I ask them to ask, which is what they already do twenty times a day over chat. The difference is that you have to catch a colleague free, whereas you can ask Savia at eleven at night and it answers on the spot, with the source and the date.
And that use is exactly what keeps it current. When someone asks something Savia doesn't know, the question is logged and routed to the expert; as soon as they answer, the answer stays inside and the next person who asks the same thing finds it. Nobody had to open a document to update it.
That has to be seen, not promised. I send you the list of what Savia hasn't been able to answer every week, in the same email, grouped by topic: the email carries the topics and not the literal questions, because I promise every employee that their conversations are theirs. If after three weeks it's empty because nobody asks, I'll tell you before you tell me and we decide whether it's worth carrying on.
I sit down with your two or three key people. Between 4 and 6 hours in total, spread out and fitted around their diary. Out of that come the decisions and the judgement calls that aren't written in any document.
I index your documentation, set up the permissions according to who can see what, and leave the system answering. You do nothing here.
A 45-minute session with the team. From that day it's in use, and it's that day that starts your free month: the three weeks of rollout don't eat into your pilot.
If it works, it carries on. If not, you leave and I delete your data from every system.
You get
You give
I don't pay for the testimonial and I don't compensate it in any way. If at the end of the month it hasn't gone as you hoped, you tell me and there's no testimonial. A bought compliment is no use to me at all.
It's three of your own numbers: how many times a day your two or three key people get interrupted, the minutes each interruption costs and what their hour costs here. You put in all three, not me. The calculator multiplies them in three minutes and gives you the annual figure. With that number in front of you, read on.
When you sign you leave the payment method set up, but nothing is charged until the month of use is up. That day the subscription starts and not before: counting the three weeks of rollout, that's about seven weeks from signing. It isn't a silent-renewal trick: I tell you in writing ten days beforehand and you can cancel at any time with one click. I do it this way because a pilot with no decision date ends up in a drawer, and that's no use to you or to me.
The caps belong to the company, not to each person. They're calculated by multiplying by the number of seats, so it doesn't matter who spends them: if one person uploads all the documentation and someone else records the videos, those two eat them and nothing happens.
The trial monthWith the seats we agree on day 1, up to 25
100 questions, 100 MB and 30 minutes of video per seat, added into a shared pool just the same. The cap for the trial month is 25 people: if there are more of you, the 25 who will use it most come in and the rest on the day you move to a plan.
The trial month's limits are tighter on purpose: it's a trial and I'm paying for it. If you run short because you're genuinely using it, I extend them on the spot and without arguing. That isn't a concession, it's exactly the signal I'm looking for.
When you move to a plan, they multiply:
StarterTeam of 8
TeamTeam of 30
The plan limits are set above what a company your size consumes using it daily. They're insurance against anomalous use, not a way of rationing.
The plan that applies to you and its figures are written into the proposal you sign on day 1. When the month of use ends there's no new conversation and no new number.
Now you know what it costs, what it doesn't cost and when. Four questions and two details, and I'll tell you if you fit.
Would you rather put a number on what doing nothing costs you today? The calculator, in another tab.
You're going to put internal documents in there. These are the five things I ask when I'm the one buying:
Permissions aren't a layer of make-up over the answers: they're checked on the server before anything is searched. If someone doesn't have access to a document, for them that document doesn't exist.
Payroll, ID numbers and employees' personal data are queried directly and under control, they don't live mixed in with the rest of the knowledge.
You can open the document it came from and check it. If it can't find a basis to answer, it says so instead of inventing.
From the database, from the index and from the files, the same day. From the backups, within a maximum of 30 days: that's what the DPA signs up to and how long the rotation takes. GDPR compliance, not a promise over email.
The answers are generated by Anthropic, and the contract with them includes the commitment not to train on your data. Your documents are hosted in the European Union and only the fragments needed to answer each query travel to the AI providers. They're all named individually in the DPA. And for environments that don't allow outbound internet there's an option with the models running locally, quoted separately from the programme.
I'm Robert Nicuta, founder and developer of Savia. I wrote it and I roll it out, company by company.
At 19 I was the junior waiting hours for a piece of information the senior could answer in half a minute: we were both wasting time and only one of us knew it. I saw it again at an eight-person company where everything went through the person who knew the most, and at a factory of more than 200 people in Slovenia whose biggest fear was losing its experts, because what they knew was the most valuable thing they had. Three different sizes, the same bottleneck. Savia comes out of that.
For when you have to explain it to your co-founder
«They roll out the complete tool without charging for the rollout, which afterwards costs from €3,000, and we don't pay for the first month of use either. The month counts from when we go live, not from when we sign. We leave the card set up on signing, nothing is charged until that month ends and they warn us in writing ten days beforehand. If it works for us, we carry on with the normal subscription. If not, we leave, we pay nothing and they delete our data. What they ask in exchange is a feedback email every week and a testimonial at the end of the month, and only if it deserves one by then.»
You keep the knowledge anyway. What comes out of the interviews is transcribed and saved as a document, and in Administration there's an export button that downloads the whole archive as Markdown or JSON: every document with its text already extracted, whatever the team contributed through the chat and the answers from the forms to your experts. It's a file that opens in any editor and doesn't depend on me. Afterwards I delete the rest.
Three things, and all three on the first day. The rollout proposal, which has the founder commitments written into it: the weekly email and the testimonial. The subscription, which is signed on day 1 on the payment screen even though the first charge doesn't arrive until the month of use is over, which is why that day isn't a new sale. And the DPA, the article 28 GDPR processor agreement, which is published with the real measures and the providers behind it. The terms are published too: nothing is signed blind.
Three things: who sits down with me for the interviews, the emails of the team who will use it, to send the invitations, and the documentation you already have, in whatever state it's in. PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, plain text, HTML, photos of the whiteboard and video all work, either the file directly or a Loom link. Don't count on YouTube: Google blocks downloads made from a server, even if the video is public and opens fine for you. And not Drive either, but for a different reason: its player asks permission from whoever is watching, so the citation would break for anyone not in that folder. In both cases, download the file and upload it: Savia hosts it and plays it at the exact minute. What you don't need: writing new documentation, tidying folders or preparing anything for the interview. The only format that chokes is a scanned PDF with no selectable text, and it warns you when that happens.
It's adjusted on the payment screen itself: the seats come pre-filled with the ones we agreed and you raise or lower them right there. The floor is whichever of two is higher: the users you have registered and the plan minimum, 5 on Starter and 10 on Team. After that it can be changed whenever you like from Billing. Lowering seats doesn't touch the per-seat price.
When one is taken I change it here that same day. When all five are taken, that's it: from then on the rollout is charged separately and starts from €3,000.
Four questions and two details, ninety seconds, and the verdict on the same screen. If you fit, I'll write to you within 48 hours; if not, I'll tell you why and what I'd do in your position.
Not here to ask for a place? Then what you want is how I work once the programme is over: the same method, without the five places or the founder terms.
