How Ask Astro works
Connect your core data sources
The first step in having full awareness of your business is giving Ask Astro context. Whether it be adding previous documents, like board papers, strategy documents, contracts and marketing plans, anything will help tell a story of where you have come from. You can drag and drop these directly into the Data page, where Astro will turn those resources into facts about your business. And you can do that in a way that keeps your data secure.
The best data is real time, straight from the source, so that no context is lost. You can do that by simply connecting to any of our common integrations, giving permission for the data to be connected, and you are off! No technical help required! If there is a key data source you need and you don’t see it on our integrations page, just let us know and we will look into getting it in there for you.
Fast integration
Here is how easy it is to connect to an application like Hubspot! Under a minute and you’re up and running.

After onboarding, Astro knows a little about your organisation, and can kick you off with some suggested actions. Create a Market report, find your Ideal Customer Profile, or find out more about your competitors. Your detailed report will be ready in around 10minutes. Easy as!
-
Monitor what’s important to you, whether its cashflow, pipeline, people engagement, or external market movements. Easy metric set up with no complex integration, straight from the data source.

Choose your topic to go deep on, then Astro will suggest a report format that would suit best. Go with Astro's suggestion or edit it to suit. Choose whether this one is just for you, or share it with others in your Astro organisation account. Astro spends 5-15min finding everything it can, (depending on how big your topic is) will let you know once its done. A research assistant at the ready!
-
Astro summarises it's findings, and also provides the detailed questions and answers it found. You can then create a PDF report or Word doc with the results. The information gathered remains in Astro's knowledge base for you to query when you need to. Go deep, go broad, go deep and broad - Astro can do the hard yards!
