# ChiefBoard > An AI strategic advisor built for CEOs, founders and business owners. ChiefBoard > answers business questions with specific numbers and next steps, records what you > decided, and carries those decisions into every future conversation. ChiefBoard is a web application operated from Friedberg, Germany, founded in 2026 by Lucas Gruber. It is built on Anthropic's Claude API. The product is self-service: users sign up, describe their business once, and then ask questions in plain language. ## What makes it different Most AI assistants forget the context of a business between sessions and agree with whatever the user proposes. ChiefBoard does two things differently: - **Decision memory.** An answer worth keeping is saved to a Decision Ledger with a chosen path, an owner and a review date. Later conversations reference those decisions and flag contradictions with them. - **Business context.** Every answer is grounded in a stored business profile: industry, stage, team size, revenue range, goals and current challenges. ## Who it is for Founders, CEOs, managing directors and owner-operators of small and mid-sized companies who make decisions without a board, a co-founder or a management team to test their thinking against. ## What it does - Answers strategy, pricing, hiring, finance, marketing and operations questions with concrete figures and action items rather than general advice - Reads uploaded documents (reports, contracts, pitch decks) and answers against them - Records decisions with review dates, exportable as PDF and subscribable as a calendar feed - Provides guided templates for marketing, finance, operations, investor pitch, hiring and business strategy ## What it does not do ChiefBoard is not a licensed legal, tax or financial advisory service. Its answers are guidance, not professional advice. It does not execute transactions and does not connect to external business systems. ## Pricing - Free: 15 messages per month - Pro: EUR 49 per month, 500 messages - Business: EUR 149 per month, 2000 messages, includes the Decision Ledger - Ultra: EUR 299 per month, unlimited messages New accounts get a 7-day free trial with 50 messages.
