Free command cheat sheet

Talk to it like a person.

You do not need perfect words. Use these phrases when you want the guide to set up, organize, sell, protect, or get unstuck.

New here? Start with these two.

  1. Type Set up my new business to build the setup with the guide.
  2. Stuck at any point? Type help. Everything else is extra.
status — shows where you are.
Check in — shows what is done and the next thing.
help — walks you through any snag.
