The Build.
Fourteen days. Six phases. One sealed machine.
From the moment you reserve to the moment your workforce goes live. No mystery. No handoffs. Matt stays on the call with you through every phase — and the weeks after.
Most software onboarding is
a link to a help doc.
You've been there. You pay. You get an email. The email has 14 bullet points and a link to a video. The video is 43 minutes long. You close the tab. The software sits unused for three weeks.
TabTab isn't software onboarding. It's a build — and a build has a person on the other end of every day of it. You talk to the same founder from the discovery call through the handoff, and every week after.
What actually happens,
day by day.
Every TabTab build follows the same six phases. You see where you are at every moment. We don't start a phase until the previous one is signed off.
We spend 45 minutes on Zoom mapping your business: your tools, your team, your workflows, the things that break on Mondays, the things you’ve given up trying to fix. Recorded. Transcribed. The recording becomes the seed of your vault.
A shared understanding of what gets built, and a confirmed phase schedule for the next 13 days.
We turn the discovery call into a build document: which agents get built, which integrations get connected, what your org chart looks like on day 14. You review it. You redline it. You sign it.
A build specification you helped write, with everything that will be on your node when it ships.
Hardware arrives at our bench in Irvine, California. We install Paperclip, configure your agents, load your vault with everything you sent us (SOPs, pricing sheets, CRM exports, writing samples, crew rosters). The vault indexer processes everything overnight on day 5. Your integrations get connected by name: your Gmail, your CRM, your calendar, your billing tool. We test every agent end-to-end against a staged copy of your business before anything ships.
A configured, tested, sealed TabTab node with your business already loaded onto it.
Your node ships UPS Ground from Irvine. Tracking number in your email within an hour. Real-time delivery updates. We cover shipping both ways, always. Inside the box: the node, a 10-foot braided power cable, an amber-sealed Welcome card with the four commands you need to know, and a one-page printed SOP for your first week.
A sealed box on your desk, tracking confirmed, delivery within the 11-day mark.
You plug in the node. You call us. We watch it come online together. Tailscale tunnel comes up. The Console opens at console.local.tabtab on your laptop. We walk through the agents one by one — you talk to each, you approve the first few actions manually, you watch Otto come online. By the end of the call, you’ve had a real conversation with your CEO agent. You’ve watched your Intake agent drop three leads into your CRM. You’ve approved your first auto-drafted email. The machine is no longer a box — it’s the back office.
A live workforce. Day one, fully operational.
The day after activation, you’re added to the TabTab Community — a private Discord and Telegram where you reach the team directly, ask questions as they come up, and see what agents other operators are deploying. Always on. Every timezone. No scheduled meetings. Six months free with every build. After six months it’s $99/month to stay in (or walk away — the node keeps running either way).
A workforce that keeps learning, a community that keeps answering, and a mechanic who lives on the machine.
Two weeks.
Mapped to the day.
Every build follows the same 14-day rhythm. Here's exactly where each phase sits. Most builds finish 2–3 days ahead of schedule — we never go later.
▸We don't work your weekends. Your node doesn't either, during the build. Once it's live, you'll stop thinking about days of the week entirely.
One human.
Two agents.
A $10,000 build deserves a person you actually know. Here's who touches your node between the reserve click and live.
Matt P
Matt runs every discovery call, every strategy call, and every activation call personally. Two decades in owner-operated businesses. He’s the person on the other end of every Zoom for the first 100 customers. No handoffs. No account executives. No “I’ll put you in touch with someone.”
Vaultkeeper
Not a person — but worth mentioning, because Vaultkeeper runs on your node every night for years. Every new SOP you add, every updated pricing sheet, every Slack archive dumped in — Vaultkeeper re-indexes overnight, and your agents know the new content by morning.
Otto
The agent that lives on your machine to fix things when the main workforce can’t. Runs on his own engine, so even when your main agent is down, Otto is up. Type `otto` in Terminal and he gets to work.
What you bring to the build.
Less than you think.
You do three things during the 14 days. That's it. We do everything else.
Show up for two calls.
The 45-minute discovery call on day 1, and the 3-hour activation call on day 12. Both recorded. Both conversational. Neither one has homework.
Drop files in a folder.
We send you a secure upload link after the discovery call. You drop in your SOPs, pricing sheets, writing samples, CRM exports, Slack archives, playbooks — whatever documents you want your agents to learn from. The more you drop in, the smarter they are on day 14. No minimum.
Tell us when you’re ready.
When the activation call is over and your workforce is live, you call the shot: which agents can act autonomously vs. which need your approval before every action. We set it to “ask first” for everything by default. You relax that over time.
What we promise.
In writing.
14 days or earlier, or extended community.
If we don’t have your node on your desk within 14 days of the signed strategy document, we extend your TabTab Community access to 12 months free and issue an explanation in writing. We’ve never missed.
Your data stays on your machine.
We don’t retain copies of your vault after shipment. Once the node is yours, your data is physically yours. We couldn’t access it even if a court ordered us to.
SSH disabled at factory.
The machine ships with all remote access disabled. We cannot log into your node after it leaves the bench. If you want support access, you open a time-boxed window — on your schedule, not ours.
Otto is on-machine, always.
If something breaks and we’re unreachable, Otto can fix it locally. The product doesn’t depend on us being available. It depends on the machine on your desk.
Reserve today.
Live by the 14th.
Most software onboarding takes longer to fail than this takes to succeed. Reserve your build today, take your discovery call within 48 hours, and open your laptop two weeks from now to a workforce that already knows your business.
