AIDE – Investor Q&A
This section answers common investor questions about AIDE’ spurpose, scalability, technical
foundations and commercial potential. Responses reflect AIDE’s position as a future AI-driven intelligence layer designed to support the operational stability of Australia’s small and medium enterprises.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is AIDE in simple terms?
AIDE will be an AI intelligence layer that connects to the systems SMEs already use,
analysing real-time activity and providing practical recommendations that support day-to-day
operational decisions.
Q3. Is AIDE replacing software like Xero, MYOB, Deputy or Square?
No. AIDE strengthens the systems SMEs already use. It extracts intelligence from them and
connects data across platforms to provide clearer context and better operational guidance.
Q5. What makes AIDE scalable?
AIDE’s subscription model, multi-sector applicability and low marginal cost per additional
user support strong long-term scalability. Once built, AIDE can be deployed nationally with
minimal friction.
Q7. Does AIDE rely on replacing existing SME software?
No. AIDE complements existing systems. The integration-first model reduces adoption
barriers and increases the likelihood of uptake.
Q9. How will the platform be built?
A structured four-phase build:
1. Proof of Concept
2. Minimum Viable Product
3. Pilot Program
4. Full Platform Build & Launch
Q2. What problem is AIDE solving?
SMEs rely on multiple disconnected systems that don’t talk to each other. This creates slow,
incomplete and low-quality information for decision-making. AIDE unifies these systems
into a single source of actionable insight.
Q4. Why hasn’t anyone built this before?
Cross-platform intelligence requires complex data unification, real-time analysis and
predictive modelling across multiple business systems — a difficult technical problem.
The difficulty of executing this architecture is a major competitive advantage.
Q6. What sectors will AIDE serve?
AIDE has broad relevance across retail, hospitality, construction, manufacturing and
professional services — as well as other SME sectors operating multiple digital tools.
Q8. What stage is AIDE currently at?
AIDE is at concept stage, supported by financial modelling, industry analysis and AI
professional validation. Development begins when tranche funding is secured, starting with
the Proof of Concept.
Q10. What does success look like?
AIDE becomes a nationally adopted tool that provides SMEs with real-time financial clarity,
operational support and automated compliance guidance — improving owner confidence and
business stability.
