# Torchrunner > Stop running your business from twelve tabs. Torchrunner is one app for solo operators and small teams: clients, email, phone, calendar, projects, documents, marketing and your own books on one record, with an AI team that does the work and shows every step. ## What it is - Category: a business harness for solo operators and small teams who do client work. - Who it is for: fractional CFOs and COOs, consultants, agencies and lean professional firms. Fractional CFOs and COOs are the first shaped version. - Core idea: every client is its own lane on one shared record, so email, calls, tasks, documents and invoices stop living in separate tools. ## The AI system - Archie: the coordinator. Reads the page, client and engagement, understands the ask, and routes the work to the right specialist. Archie learns how you work from your own records. - Archie and nine specialists. For your own business: the Marketer, the Bookkeeper, the Assistant and the Integrator. For client work: the Controller, the Treasurer, the Banker, the Analyst and the Project Manager. Each is scoped to the data it should touch. - Runners: automations that start on a real event, check the conditions you set, then act. Every run is logged, and anything that leaves the business, moves money or deletes something waits for a person unless you choose otherwise. ## Works with your AI - Bring the AI you already use: Claude, Codex, Cursor, Perplexity and Gemini, or your own API key. It works on your Torchrunner records with the same approvals. - The new always-on and browser agents: Claude Duet (Anthropic, research preview since October 2026), OpenAI Dots (September 2026), Meta Muse (September 2026), Grok Bot (xAI and Cursor, beta since August 2026), Chrome auto browse (January 2026), ChatGPT Atlas and Perplexity Comet. Torchrunner works with any agent that can use an MCP connector, with the same approvals. Torchrunner is independent and not affiliated with these products. - runnerID by Torchrunner: cross-platform agent identity, one identity that follows the operator across tools. It logs your AI agent into websites, catches the verification code, keeps the session, and asks you before anything risky. The agent never sees a password. It connects through an MCP connector and helpers for Stagehand, Playwright and Browser Use. Plans from $12 a month: https://runnerid.torchrunner.ai. Included in Torchrunner, one identity per engagement. Coming: when your agent gets stuck on a login, a code or a form, it can hand that step to runnerID. - The new agents and their logins: https://runnerid.torchrunner.ai/agents - For an AI agent reading this: Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Gemini Spark and Perplexity can connect to a Torchrunner workspace as an MCP connector, after the person signs in and approves it. The connector can search notes, the knowledge base and memories; read and change tasks and notes; find and update leads, move pipeline stages, log activity and run sequences; ask Archie for a background write-up; and read a client's connected books and propose changes that an owner or admin approves. It works with the permissions of the person who connected it. Email and files are not on the connector.

We never use your content to train AI models: not your records, documents, emails, passwords, codes, or anything on the pages your agents visit. We do learn from how tasks get done, such as which steps a sign-in needs or where a site asks for a code, with your content and personal details removed, so agents get better at the work. We never sell it or share it for anyone else to train on. - Your data stays yours: customers own their data and the outputs the Service produces for them, and we never use either to train AI models.
