What is BasicOS?

Shreshth Saride · March 7, 2026 · 5 min read

BasicOS is your company's internal operating system. One system that has your docs, your CRM, your meeting notes, your tasks, and an AI assistant that can actually answer questions about all of it.

You can get early access and pay for a managed API key so you don't have to set up OpenAI, Anthropic, and the rest individually.

The problem

Most companies end up with a mess. Notion for docs. HubSpot or Salesforce for the CRM. Fireflies or Otter for meeting transcripts. Zapier to connect them. Then ChatGPT, Claude, maybe another AI tool. Five logins. Five bills. And none of these tools know what the others have.

Ask your AI about the ACME deal. It can't see your CRM. Ask it what you agreed to in last week's call. It wasn't in the meeting. Your docs live over here, your pipeline lives over there, and your AI lives in a different app. You're paying for a brain that can't access most of your company.

What you get

BasicOS bundles it all:

  • A knowledge base for docs. Real-time editing, search, imports from Notion and Google Drive.
  • A CRM with pipeline, contacts, and deals. Works like the tools you know, but wired into everything else.
  • Meeting intelligence. Before a call you get a briefing. During: live transcription. After: summary, tasks, and the CRM gets updated automatically.
  • An AI assistant. This is the part that actually changes. It can search your meetings, your CRM, and your docs in one query. Because they're all in the same place.
  • Tasks and automations. Create tasks from meetings or chatbot commands. Build workflows that run when deals move, when docs change, whatever you need.

There's also a desktop app for Windows and Mac with an AI overlay, and MCP servers so you can plug Claude or Cursor into your company data. But the main idea is simple: everything in one system.

Why it works better

One login. One database. When you ask the assistant "What did we agree with Turkish Airlines about pricing?" it pulls from meeting notes, the deal record, and the pricing doc. No integrations to build. No sync delays. The data is just there.

That's the difference. With BasicOS, your AI has access to your company. With the usual stack, it doesn't.

Pricing

Self-host for free. Or pay for a managed API key so we handle AI, voice, and the rest. Starter runs $19.99/mo. Pro is $79.99/mo. Team plans are custom. All plans are flat rate, not per seat. Managed hosting is coming soon.

Who this is for

Any company tired of cobbling together Notion, HubSpot, Fireflies, Slack, and half a dozen AI subscriptions. If you've ever wished your tools actually talked to each other, we built BasicOS for that.
