Torchrunner is the business harness for solo operators and small teams: fractional CFOs, fractional COOs, consultants, and solo professionals who run client engagements across CRM, communications, projects, documents, and accounting. It replaces a stack of disconnected tools with one connected workspace built on a single data model, then puts an AI system on top that runs work instead of talking about it.
What does Torchrunner replace?
Torchrunner consolidates the lightweight tools an independent operator usually buys separately: CRM and pipeline, inbox, projects and tasks, documents and knowledge, books, calendar, client portal, automations, and marketing content. The systems you keep, Gmail or Outlook, Google Drive or OneDrive, Slack, Teams, WhatsApp and your clients' QuickBooks, connect in and sync. Your own books can live in Torchrunner. Records, conversations, tasks, files, invoices, and AI memory all tie back to the client engagement, so the work has one source of truth.
It is not a bundle of apps that share a login. It is a spine: one data model that every module reads and writes.
How does the AI system work?
Torchrunner's AI is organized like an operations team, not a chat box.
- Archie is the front door: one conversation that reads the page, the client, and the engagement you are in, understands the ask, and routes it.
- The Executive Team is nine specialists, each owning one part of the work: the Marketer, Bookkeeper, Assistant and Integrator for your own business; the Controller, Treasurer, Banker, Analyst and Project Manager for client work. Each is scoped to only the data it should touch.
- Skills are the playbooks each executive uses: update the CRM, draft the deliverable, research the account, run the follow-up, applied the same way every time.
- Runners do the real work: API calls, webhooks, and browser agents that act against business state and log every run.
Every action feeds a persistent memory layer called the Brain, where information is distilled, classified, deduplicated, retrieved in context, and pruned to stay sharp. The structure compounds: tomorrow's work starts from today's.
What makes Torchrunner different from adding ChatGPT to my stack?
Most AI tools sit beside the work. They forget the business unless you paste context back in, they cannot act on your systems, and nothing they produce accumulates. Torchrunner's AI sits inside the business: it has the context, permissions, memory, and accountability that come from running on the same spine as your CRM, inbox, books, and documents. The difference is not the model. The difference is the foundation underneath it.
Who is Torchrunner for?
Torchrunner is built for the independent operator economy: 74.9 million Americans now earn income independently, and almost 6 million of them earn more than 100,000 dollars a year (MBO Partners, State of Independence 2026), and fractional executives are the fastest-professionalizing slice of that market. The beachhead customer is the fractional CFO or COO who runs several client companies at once and inherits an entire back office of tooling to do it.
How much does Torchrunner cost?
Torchrunner is $199 a month with 1 seat and 1 engagement included. Each extra engagement is $99 a month and each extra seat is $79 a month. Viewers and client portal users are $0. Month to month.
