Use cases

Know Your Numbers

Performance monitoring, financial reporting, dashboards, forecasting

"I've got a board meeting in an hour. Where do we actually stand?"
You ask Astro in plain English. In seconds you have revenue, margin, pipeline, and the three things that have moved since last month. You walk in prepared.

"Something feels off but I can't see it in the numbers."
Your revenue looks fine. But Astro flags that gross margin has been quietly shrinking for three months. You find the issue before it becomes a real problem.

"I want a dashboard that shows exactly what I care about."
You tell Astro what you want to track. It builds the dashboard for you, no setup forms, no IT request. It's there under your monitoring tab, ready to go.

“I only get lagging financial reports”

Traditional systems tell you what already happened. Ask Astro gives real-time, forward-looking insight, so you can make decisions as things change.

Use cases

Win More Work

Lead list generation, lead enrichment, pipeline intelligence, proposal drafting

"I need a list of businesses in this region that fit our ideal client profile."
You describe who you're looking for. Astro researches and builds a list — enriched with context about each prospect, what they do, and what they might need.

"We keep losing proposals on price. I don't know if we're too high or too low."
Astro pulls your historical job data and shows you where you've won, where you've lost, and what the pattern looks like. You price the next proposal with confidence.

"I want to follow up with warm leads but I don't know who to prioritise."
Astro looks at your pipeline and tells you which deals have gone quiet, which are moving, and who deserves a call today.

Use cases

Market Your Business

Marketing collateral, content creation, campaign research, competitor monitoring

"I need a capability statement for a new sector we're going after by Friday."
You drag your existing materials into the chat. Astro reads them, understands your voice, and drafts the document. You edit, not write from scratch.

"What are our competitors saying right now, and how do we compare?"
You ask Astro to kick off a competitor research report. It runs the research and comes back with a summary, what they're leading with, where the gaps are, and where you have an edge.

"I want to stay on top of what's being said about our industry without spending hours on it."
You add the topic to your watchlist directly from the chat. Astro monitors it and surfaces new developments on your home page when something worth knowing comes up.

Use cases

Serve Your Clients Better

Client intelligence, proactive alerts, advisor-client collaboration, reporting

"I have six client meetings this week. I can't prep for all of them properly."
Astro pulls together what's happening in each client's business, financial movements, news, anything flagged on their watchlist. You arrive knowing more than they expect.

"One of my clients is heading for trouble. I just don't know which one yet."
Astro monitors your clients' key metrics and alerts you when something looks off track, before they call you in a panic.

"My client wants to work through this together, not just receive a report."
You open a collaborative chat and invite them in. You work through the data, the questions, and the options together, in real time.

Use cases

Run Your Operations

Workflow automation, process consistency, document management, knowledge search

"Someone just asked me a question that I know we've answered before...somewhere."
You ask Astro. It searches across your documents, past reports, and knowledge base and finds the answer in seconds. No more digging through folders.

"We do this process every quarter but it takes a different amount of time every time."
You build a playbook in Astro that encodes the steps, the questions, and the outputs. Next quarter, the team follows it. The result is consistent.

"A client just sent me a document in a meeting and I need to work with it now."
You drag it into the chat. Astro reads it immediately. When the meeting's done, you choose whether to save it to your knowledge base or leave it in the conversation.

Use cases

Grow Your Team

HR support, onboarding, policy creation, performance frameworks

"We're hiring and I need an onboarding plan, but I don't have time to build one from scratch."
You tell Astro what the role is and what the person needs to know. It drafts an onboarding plan using your existing documents and processes as the foundation.

"I want to set clear goals for my team but I'm not sure how to structure them."
You work through it with Astro in chat. Once you've landed on the right KPIs, you ask Astro to add them to your watchlist so it monitors progress automatically from that point on.

"We don't have an HR policy for this situation and I need one today."
You describe the situation. Astro drafts a policy that fits your context, not a generic template, but something grounded in how your business actually works.

Use cases

Stay Ahead of Change

Regulatory monitoring, industry research, scenario planning, strategic intelligence

"There's a regulatory change coming that could affect our clients. I need to understand it fast."
You ask Astro to research it. It kicks off a full research report, pulling together what's changing, what it means for your sector, and what questions you should be asking.

"I want to know when something important happens in our industry, without having to look for it."
You add the topic to your watchlist from the chat. Astro monitors it continuously and tells you when something new and relevant surfaces.

"We're making a big strategic decision and I want to stress-test our assumptions."
You bring your strategy document into the chat. Astro reads it, asks the hard questions, and helps you think through the scenarios you haven't considered yet.
