Products

The CP52 stack — tools for the whole business of being creative.

One family of products, built running a real creative business: your website, your courses, your bookings, your shop, your support, and InkFox, the AI that orchestrates the lot. Every product carries an honest status badge: we’ll never sell you a dotted line as a solid one.

Your own AI PA: the work of a £30k-a-year assistant, for the price of the tools it runs on.

InkFox is the AI co-pilot Damian built to actually run a creative business: triaging the inbox, watching the calendar, drafting the writing, routing every job to the right model, keeping its own costs on a leash. Install it, answer a few questions, and your Inkling comes to life: your version, in your voice, on your machine.

  • You own it: not a rented SaaS seat. It runs on your Mac, your accounts, your keys.
  • Hard spend caps, built in: a bad evening can’t quietly cost you £45.
  • In your voice: drafts and replies that sound like you, not a chatbot.
  • No black box: you understand every part, because the install is the walkthrough.

The CP52 Web Platform: own the full stack

The engines that make up the owned platform. Add the one or two you need in Silver (from £379 for the site, engines from £549), or take all of them in Gold (£1,249): one build, yours to keep. InkFox is the AI that can run them as one.

  • eCommerce + integrated POS terminalYour own shop and a real card payment terminal, built to handle complex product taxonomies: the same engine that runs a live craft-barn till. Case study: Cornish Craft Barn.
  • Events + 1:1 bookingCreate and manage workshops, plus 1:1 Zoom and coaching-slot booking, oversell-proof, on your own site.
  • LMS + community + iPhone appA full course platform with community message boards, and its own iPhone app for your members.
  • Owned CRM + email engineYour own newsletter + CRM, synced to every purchase, workshop, course and product, digital and physical/shipping alike.
  • Bespoke website · choose your skinA lean, lightning-fast site from static HTML/CSS (no WordPress, no database; that’s why it’s fast) with a choice of skins and a bespoke builder.

The maths that makes it a no-brainer

Own your platform: stop renting the stack that eats your margin.

Most working creatives pay a stack of monthly and per-ticket fees to a shelf of separate SaaS tools. The CP52 Web Platform (Gold) replaces the lot with one platform you own, on the lean stack we recommend: Hostinger hosting + Google Workspace, with payments going straight to your own Stripe.

How to read our badges

Honest status, on every card.

Every product on this site carries the same grammar: LIVE means it runs in the real world today, TEST means it works on our test rails and hasn’t taken live money yet, IN BUILD means we’re building it now and will say so, and WAITLIST / REGISTER INTEREST means it’s coming and you can be first in the door: no buy button until it’s truly ready.

We’d rather be honest than oversell; it’s the same standard we hold our own tools to before they touch our own business.

Not sure where to begin?

The technical papers are the cheapest way into the whole method: start with How To Train Your AI at £4. Ready for the whole business in one owned platform? That’s the CP52 Web Platform, from a £379 Bronze site. Want just the AI that runs it all? Join the InkFox waitlist.
