How it works
Here's exactly what your snail does.
Give snail a job. It connects to your tools, watches for patterns, tests ideas, and brings you a weekly brief with what it found and what it did. Here's how.
Create a Snail
Give your snail a name and a job — "increase my website conversion rate" or "boost SEO and organic web traffic"
Each snail focuses on one thing. Want to monitor sales AND code quality? Create two snails. They're $29/mo total, not per snail.
Connect Your Data
snail plugs into the tools you already use: GitHub, Vercel, Gmail, CRM, analytics, or anything with webhooks.
OAuth for the big platforms, custom webhooks for everything else. Your snail will watch, propose changes, and auto-deploy once approved
Crawls
Your snail will automatically run "crawls" on a daily cadence, analyzing and sorting data. With it's job in mind, it will proactively propose changes to achieve it's goal.
Trails & Signals
After each crawl, your snail leaves a trail — a summary of what it found and what it thinks it means.
When something important comes up, it raises a signal — flagged by severity so you know what needs attention now versus what can wait.
Act on it
Every signal comes with a recommended next step. "Bounce rate jumped 40% after the last deploy — here's a fix." Review it, approve it, move on.
slow and steady
Too many tools are focusing on speed when slow and steady wins the race.
snails don't race to provide an instant insight. They patiently analyze data, run tests, and propose changes only when the data supports it. thorough — cross-referencing more sources and spending more time on analysis instead of trying answer you in two seconds.
Slow doesn't mean lazy. It means deliberate. A snail that spends 20 minutes analyzing a week of data and surfaces one thing you need to act on is worth more than a chatbot that answers instantly and tells you nothing new.
“Slow and Steady wins the race.” That's our motto and the reason snails are so effective.
