### Describe Goalmatic in 50 words.

_Usage: 50 words, verified_

Goalmatic helps small businesses build a website and run everyday work from one account. Owners describe their business, publish a simple website, then add focused Apps for bookings, products or social posts. The same account holds their workspace and credits. Goalmatic is built for owner-run businesses, starting in Lagos, Nigeria.

### Describe Goalmatic in 100 words.

_Usage: 100 words, verified_

Goalmatic helps small businesses build their website and run everyday work from one account. An owner describes the business, and Goalmatic Builder drafts a website they can review and publish on a goalmatic.site address or their own domain. Website forms save enquiries to their Goalmatic workspace. Owners can then add focused Apps: Bookins for individual appointments, Store Studio for a product storefront, and Social Studio for planning and publishing posts. The Apps use the same sign-in and credit balance, while records connect only when the owner chooses. Goalmatic is built by Anthony Akpan, a solo software founder in Lagos, Nigeria.

### Describe Goalmatic in 150 words.

_Usage: 150 words, verified_

Goalmatic helps small businesses build their website and run everyday work through simple Apps, all on one Goalmatic account. An owner describes the business, and Goalmatic Builder drafts a website they can review and publish on a goalmatic.site address or their own domain. Enquiries from its forms are saved as records in the owner's workspace. The owner can then add a focused App for the next job: Bookins for individual appointments, Store Studio for a product storefront, or Social Studio for planning and publishing posts. The products share one sign-in, workspace and credit balance. Their records do not sync automatically; the owner chooses whether an App uses a Table they already have. Today the website builder and these Apps are live. Next, Goalmatic plans to alert owners on WhatsApp when a website enquiry arrives. Customer-facing AI replies remain planned. Anthony Akpan is the solo founder, building Goalmatic from Lagos, Nigeria.

<a id="overview-current-and-vision"></a>

### What does Goalmatic do today, and what is the vision?

_Usage: Use when a form asks about both the product and the long-term direction_

Today, Goalmatic lets an owner build and publish a business website, save form enquiries, and add focused Apps for bookings, products and social posts on one account. The planned direction is an AI back office for WhatsApp-first businesses, starting with owner alerts for new website enquiries. AI replies to customers on a business's own WhatsApp number are planned for a later version.

<a id="problem"></a>

## Problem

The customer problem, stated as an observed workflow rather than a market-size claim.

<a id="problem-core"></a>

### What problem does Goalmatic address?

_Usage: Application problem statement_

Many owner-run businesses handle enquiries, product details, appointments and follow-ups across WhatsApp, Instagram, notebooks and memory. Information gets scattered, and the owner has to hold the process together. General automation tools add another problem: they ask the owner to design a workflow before getting a useful result.

<a id="problem-why-now"></a>

### Why work on this now?

_Usage: Why-now answer without unsupported market figures_

Small businesses already meet customers through messaging and social platforms, but many still need a clear website and a simple way to organise what happens next. AI can help create the website and power useful tasks underneath. Goalmatic packages that capability into finished tools, so the owner starts with a job instead of an empty editor.

<a id="solution"></a>

## Solution

How the website, Apps and shared account fit together.

<a id="solution-how-it-works"></a>

### How does Goalmatic work?

_Usage: General product explanation_

The owner describes the business, reviews the website Goalmatic Builder drafts, and publishes it on a free goalmatic.site address or a domain they already own. Website forms save enquiries to the owner's workspace. When another job appears, the owner adds a focused App for bookings, products or social posts. The website and Apps use the same Goalmatic account and credit balance.

<a id="solution-differentiation"></a>

### What is different about Goalmatic?

_Usage: Differentiation answer; avoid unsupported superiority claims_

Goalmatic starts with a visible outcome, a business website, then lets the owner add one focused tool at a time on the same account. It is designed around the way many owner-run businesses already work: WhatsApp, an Instagram page, a notebook and memory. This is a product choice, not a claim that Goalmatic has more features than specialist tools.

<a id="solution-website-or-app-store"></a>

### Is Goalmatic a website builder, an automation tool or an App Store?

_Usage: Use when the product category is unclear_

It is one business account. You start with the AI website builder, add Apps from the Goalmatic App Store for everyday jobs, and the AI and automation run underneath, so you do not have to build them yourself.

<a id="audience"></a>

## Audience

The initial audience is a focused hypothesis, not a claim of product-market fit.

<a id="audience-primary"></a>

### Who is Goalmatic for?

_Usage: Target customer answer_

Goalmatic is for owner-run small businesses, starting in Lagos. The initial focus is people who sell products online and people who sell classes, courses, coaching or other individual appointments. The owner is usually both the buyer and the person doing the daily work, with customers arriving through WhatsApp and Instagram.

<a id="audience-first-use"></a>

### Where should a customer start?

_Usage: Customer guidance_

Start with one job. Build a website if you need a public home for the business. Use Store Studio if you need one link for products, Bookins if customers need to choose an individual appointment, or Social Studio if you need to plan and publish posts. Add another tool only after the first one is useful.

<a id="products"></a>

## Products

Current capabilities and the limits that should travel with every product description.

<a id="products-builder"></a>

### What does Goalmatic Builder do?

_Usage: Current Builder description_

Goalmatic Builder turns a business description into a website draft. The owner reviews and edits it before publishing on a free goalmatic.site address or a domain they already own. Forms on the published website save enquiries to the owner's Goalmatic workspace. A WhatsApp alert for each new enquiry is next to build, not available today.

<a id="products-bookins"></a>

### What does Bookins by Goalmatic do?

_Usage: Product listing or application answer with required limits_

Bookins gives a solo service provider or coach one booking link with services, prices, weekly hours and available times. Customers can choose an individual appointment without a Goalmatic account, and Bookins checks the slot again before confirming it. Bookins does not support classes, group or multi-staff booking. Payments, deposits, reminders, email confirmations, guest rescheduling, guest cancellation and calendar sync are not available yet.

<a id="products-store-studio"></a>

### What does Store Studio by Goalmatic do?

_Usage: Product listing or application answer with required limits_

Store Studio gives a product seller one public link for products, variants and prices. Customers can browse and place an order without a Goalmatic account. The owner can manage orders, stock, customers and discounts, and offer pickup or delivery. Online payments and card checkout are not available yet, so the customer arranges payment with the seller for pickup or delivery.

<a id="products-social-studio"></a>

### What does Social Studio by Goalmatic do?

_Usage: Product listing or application answer with required limits_

Social Studio helps an owner plan posts on a calendar, adjust a draft for selected connected accounts, publish now or schedule ahead, and review delivery status or errors. Publishing depends on each social network's permissions and the connected account. Some destinations require the user to finish posting on the platform, and Goalmatic cannot guarantee publishing on every network.

<a id="products-shared-account"></a>

### What do the website and Apps share?

_Usage: Use beside any one-account claim_

They use one Goalmatic sign-in, workspace and credit balance. They do not share records automatically. Each App keeps its records as Tables in the chosen workspace, asks for permission at install, and reuses an existing Table only when the owner chooses to link it.

<a id="founder"></a>

## Founder

Public founder background and the product lesson behind Goalmatic Apps.

<a id="founder-bio"></a>

### Who founded Goalmatic?

_Usage: Public founder bio_

Anthony Akpan is the solo founder of Goalmatic in Lagos, Nigeria. He is a software engineer who previously worked across fintech and mobility at YAP, Shuttle, STM Mobility Service and Celo. He has built most of the Goalmatic platform, including the workspace, website builder, App runtime and shared product infrastructure.

<a id="founder-why-built"></a>

### Why did Anthony build Goalmatic Apps?

_Usage: Founder story and YC-style why-this-idea answer_

Anthony first built AI agents, Workflows, Tables, integrations and a website builder. The question he kept hearing was, "How do I use workflows?" People opened an empty editor and did not know what to do next. He learned that a small business owner often wants a finished tool for a job, so Goalmatic began packaging the underlying parts into focused Apps.

<a id="direction"></a>

## Direction

A clear boundary between the working product and the planned WhatsApp-first back office.

<a id="direction-live"></a>

### What is live today?

_Usage: Current product answer_

Goalmatic Builder can draft and publish business websites, and website forms save enquiries to the owner's workspace. Bookins, Store Studio and Social Studio provide focused tools for appointments, products and social posts, with the limits listed in this reference. Owners can also message the Goalmatic Assistant on WhatsApp by text, voice note or photo.

<a id="direction-next"></a>

### What is Goalmatic building next?

_Usage: Roadmap answer; keep in future tense_

The next planned step is a default flow that sends the business owner a WhatsApp alert when a new website enquiry is saved. It is next to build and must be verified before Goalmatic promises that every enquiry reaches WhatsApp.

<a id="direction-later"></a>

### Will Goalmatic answer customers on WhatsApp?

_Usage: Public boundary for the WhatsApp vision_

Not today. Customer-facing AI replies from a business's own WhatsApp number are planned for a later version. Today, the Goalmatic Assistant talks to the owner on Goalmatic's WhatsApp channel. The owner-alert flow for new website enquiries is also still next to build.

<a id="launch"></a>

## Launch and applications

Reusable copy for Product Hunt, accelerator forms and founder profiles.

<a id="launch-product-hunt-tagline"></a>

### What is the Product Hunt tagline?

_Usage: Product Hunt tagline, 45 characters_

Websites and simple apps for small businesses

<a id="launch-public-headline"></a>

### What is the main public headline?

_Usage: Homepage, launch page and public explainers_

Build your business website. Add simple apps for everyday work.

<a id="launch-product-hunt-description"></a>

### What is the Product Hunt launch description?

_Usage: Product Hunt launch page_

Start with the business website almost every owner needs. Describe what you sell, review the draft, and publish it. Then add one focused App for the next job: Bookins for individual appointments, Store Studio for a product link, or Social Studio for posts. They use one Goalmatic account and credit balance. Records connect only when you choose. Goalmatic is built for owner-run businesses, starting in Lagos.

<a id="launch-yc-building"></a>

### YC: What are you building?

_Usage: YC or accelerator application; separates current product from vision_

Goalmatic is building the AI back office for small businesses that run on WhatsApp. We start with an AI website builder, then let owners add focused Apps for appointments, products and social posts on the same account. Website enquiries are saved today. Owner alerts on WhatsApp are next to build, and customer-facing AI replies are planned for a later version.

<a id="launch-yc-customer"></a>

### YC: Who is the customer?

_Usage: YC or accelerator customer answer_

The initial customer is an owner-run business in Lagos that sells products online or sells classes, courses, coaching or individual services. The owner is both buyer and daily user, and usually talks to customers through WhatsApp and Instagram. This is Goalmatic's initial customer hypothesis, which the company is testing before expanding.

<a id="launch-yc-why"></a>

### YC: Why did you choose this idea?

_Usage: YC or accelerator founder answer, in Anthony's voice_

I first built agents, Workflows, Tables and integrations. People kept asking, "How do I use workflows?" An empty editor made them design the solution before getting a result. I built Goalmatic Apps to give small businesses finished tools for specific jobs, and made the website the starting point because it gives the business a public home and a place to capture enquiries.

<a id="launch-public-stage"></a>

### How far along is Goalmatic?

_Usage: Public stage answer without traction figures_

Goalmatic is an early-stage, working product. The website builder publishes sites and saves form enquiries. The three featured business Apps are available with the limits stated in this reference. The current work is to learn which owners return, which second tool they use, and whether the website-to-WhatsApp direction solves a repeated problem. No product-market-fit claim is being made.

<a id="faq"></a>

## Frequently asked questions

<a id="faq-record-sync"></a>

### Do Goalmatic Apps share my records automatically?

_Usage: Account and data FAQ_

No. Each App keeps its own records as Tables in the workspace you choose. During installation, you decide whether the App should keep separate records or use a Table you already have. The App only gets the access you approve.

<a id="faq-customer-account"></a>

### Do my customers need a Goalmatic account?

_Usage: Customer access FAQ_

No. Customers can send an enquiry through your website, choose an individual appointment through your Bookins link, or browse and order through your Store Studio link without creating a Goalmatic account.

<a id="faq-how-to-start"></a>

### How do I get started?

_Usage: Entry-point FAQ and official links_

Choose the first job. Build your website at https://goalmatic.site, or browse focused Apps at https://goalmatic.io/apps. Start with one useful result, then add another tool when you need it.

<a id="faq-whatsapp"></a>

### Can Goalmatic reply to my customers on WhatsApp?

_Usage: WhatsApp FAQ_

Not today. You can message the Goalmatic Assistant yourself by text, voice note or photo. A WhatsApp alert to the owner for each new website enquiry is next to build. AI replies to customers from the business's own WhatsApp number are planned for a later version.

<a id="faq-credits"></a>

### What are credits used for?

_Usage: Credits FAQ without plan or pricing figures_

Credits are the shared balance for AI and some metered actions across Goalmatic, the Builder and Apps. Before a metered action runs, the product should show its credit cost and ask you to confirm. Installing an App does not mean every action inside it has no cost.
