Conductor is multi-entity AI chat - the operator's natural-language interface to every product in the Vastura stack. Ask Conductor to close November for Vastura Ag, draft a Q4 review email to investors, run the weekly Pilot status digest, or post the November rent journal. Conductor uses the MCP bridge to actually do the work, not just describe it.
Behind the chat is real tool-aware AI - Conductor knows what tools each Vastura product exposes (the 8 Ledger tools, the 8 Keystone tools, the Pilot pulse tool, the Studio generation tools, the Launch Pad 8-tool LP Assistant), what scopes are appropriate, and what data the entity you're scoped to actually owns.
Conductor Pro at $49/mo CAD adds cross-app workflow execution, scheduled cron-like runs, webhook ingestion, and audit logging on every action. Conductor Enterprise at $99/mo unlocks unlimited workflows, custom tool registration, and cross-Cowork coordination for multi-tenant operators.
15-day free trial - No credit card - CAD-pricedThe popular consumer AI assistant ($20-$50/mo USD) is good at writing emails and bad at running operations. It cannot post a journal to your accounting tool. It cannot triage a ticket in your helpdesk. It cannot run a status report against your project tool. It has no MCP bridge, no tool access, no entity scoping, and no audit log on what it touched.
The popular SMB workflow automation tool ($30-$200/mo CAD) makes you build every workflow by hand in a graphical UI. You drag boxes, wire conditional branches, debug why the JSON didn't parse, and end up with 40 brittle workflows that break every time an upstream API changes. There's no natural language. There's no tool awareness. There's no agent that runs your operation.
The middle ground - an AI agent that natively knows your entire SaaS stack, can call any tool, can scope to the right entity, audit-logs every action, and runs scheduled cross-app workflows on your behalf - simply doesn't exist outside Vastura. Building it requires owning the platform: knowing what tools exist, what scopes are safe, what data passes between them, and what the operator wants to accomplish.
Conductor exists because every other Vastura tool already exposes an MCP surface. Wiring up an AI agent that knows the whole stack was the natural next step. Multi-entity scoping was added because most of our users run multiple businesses. The cron-like workflow runner was added because operators want overnight execution. CAD pricing was added because we're Canadian.
Conductor Starter at $29/mo CAD gives you entity-scoped AI chat with access to the basic list_entities, pulse, and documents tools across one entity. It's the entry tier for solo operators who want a smarter dashboard - ask Conductor what your November cash position looks like, or what's overdue in Pilot, or what tickets are SLA-breached in Keystone. Chat in, structured answer out.
Conductor Pro at $49/mo CAD adds multi-entity routing (ask Conductor to compare Q3 across three entities), cross-app tool execution (Conductor can write to Ledger, Keystone, Pilot, Launch Pad), conditional logic in workflows (if/then/else), scheduled workflows (cron-like, runs overnight without you), webhook ingestion and outbound, and a full audit log of every tool call.
The Pro tier is where Conductor stops being a smarter dashboard and becomes a real operations agent. Schedule a workflow: 'every Monday at 7am, pull the Pilot weekly status, write a digest, email it to the team Slack, and post a Keystone ticket for any project flagged as off-track.' Conductor runs it. You review the audit log when you wake up.
Conductor Enterprise at $99/mo CAD unlocks unlimited workflows, custom tool registration (wire your own external API as an MCP tool Conductor can call), cross-Cowork coordination (for organizations running multiple Vastura AI Coworks - Engineering, Marketing, F&O, G&C, etc.), and the dedicated CSM. The Enterprise tier is for the operations team running 50+ scheduled workflows across multiple entities.
Nine modules turning Conductor from a smart chat into the actual operations layer of your business.
Conductor is always scoped to one or more of your entities. Permissions, data access, and tool authorization all flow from the entity scope. Ask 'what's my AR aging?' and Conductor returns it for the entity you're on, not your full holdco.
Conductor knows what tools each Vastura product exposes - Ledger's 8, Keystone's 8, Pilot's pulse, Studio's generation, LP's 8-tool Assistant. Tool selection is automatic based on the question. Audit log captures every tool call with input and output.
Pro+ tier. Conductor can chain tool calls across products in a single workflow. Example: pull last month's Ledger trial balance, write a 1-page summary in the brand voice, save the PDF to the Documents store, and email the stakeholder list - all in one Conductor command.
Workflows support conditional branches. If the November P&L shows negative net income, post a Keystone ticket to the Director queue with the variance analysis attached. Otherwise, send the standard monthly summary. No code; defined in the workflow editor.
Schedule workflows to run on cron-like cadence: every Monday 7am, first business day of the month, hourly during business hours, etc. Conductor runs them autonomously. Outputs route to email, Slack, ticket, or stored document.
Inbound webhooks let external systems trigger Conductor workflows (Stripe charge succeeded, Shopify order placed, GitHub PR merged). Outbound webhooks let Conductor notify external systems on workflow completion.
Every Conductor tool call is audit-logged: timestamp, operator, entity, tool, input, output, success/error. Full audit trail for compliance review. Required for SOC 2 readiness.
Pre-built integration with every Vastura product. No setup, no API keys, no credential management - the moment you subscribe to Conductor, every active Vastura tool in your account is wired.
Enterprise tier. Wire your own external APIs as MCP tools Conductor can call. Useful for SMBs with proprietary internal tools that need agent operability without rebuilding the tool itself.

Conductor is not competing with consumer AI assistants on writing quality - it is competing with workflow automation tools on operational throughput. At $49/mo CAD, Pro is the only tool in the SMB tier that combines natural-language interface, MCP tool execution across an entire SaaS stack, and full audit logging.
If you already run Vastura products (Ledger, Pilot, Keystone, Launch Pad), Conductor turns your stack into an actual operations agent. If you don't, Conductor is still useful as a multi-entity AI chat with custom tool registration at Enterprise. Most users start at Pro and grow into Enterprise once they have 10+ scheduled workflows running.
Every tier includes a 15-day free trial. Cancel anytime. Annual billing saves 25%. All prices in Canadian dollars.

Four personas we built this product for. Find yours below.
Pat runs one business and uses Starter at $29/mo to ask Conductor questions like 'what's my November cash position' or 'what's overdue in Pilot'. Replaces five-dashboard tab-switching with one chat.
Best fit: Conductor Starter
Marcus runs three entities and uses Pro at $49/mo for cross-entity questions ('compare Q3 net income across all three') and overnight automations (weekly status digest, monthly close prep, quarterly investor email draft). Workflow cron runs handle most of his repetitive ops.
Best fit: Conductor Pro
Lisa's holdco PMO has 50+ scheduled Conductor workflows running cross-entity. Enterprise at $99/mo handles unlimited workflows, registers their custom internal CRM as a Conductor tool, and routes cross-Cowork notifications to the right team automatically.
Best fit: Conductor Enterprise
Riley's MSP uses Conductor Enterprise to operate Vastura stacks for 12 SMB clients. Custom tool registration wires their billing system. Conductor digests pulled overnight, queued in the morning - throughput per ops person up significantly.
Best fit: Conductor Enterprise + cross-tenant
Vastura is a stack, not a single tool. Each product passes data into the next so you stop running glue scripts and CSV exports.
Conductor calls Ledger MCP tools to post journals, reconcile statements, query balances, and run the close. Ask 'close November for Entity X' and Conductor executes with your approval.
Conductor -> Ledger MCP -> Journal postedPull weekly Pilot status across all workspaces. Conductor formats it as a Markdown digest, posts to Slack, files a Keystone ticket for any project flagged red.
Conductor cron -> Pilot pulse -> Slack + ticketConductor can read the Keystone queue, draft first-touch responses, escalate by SLA breach, and close resolved tickets. Audit log captures every move for review.
Conductor chat -> Keystone MCP -> Queue opsConductor calls the LP Assistant 8 tools to update products, run analytics queries, post storefront digests, and trigger marketing-suite campaigns based on inventory state.
Conductor cron -> LP Assistant -> Multi-brand opsConductor coordinates the Marketing Suite autonomous draft cron - approve drafts, post on schedule, route platform-specific copy. Per-entity voice flows from Brand Lab to Conductor to publish.
Conductor schedule -> Marketing Suite -> Multi-platform postConductor can call Studio generation tools (image, reel, voice, lipsync) in workflow sequence. Generate brand image, attach to a product, post to LP, schedule reel from script - all in one workflow.
Conductor -> Studio gen -> LP + Marketing postScheduled workflow checks Inventory low-stock thresholds, calls supplier MCP if available, drafts a PO via Keystone supplier ticket, notifies the operator.
Conductor cron -> Inventory check -> Supplier PO ticketConcierge AI handles first-touch customer chat. Conductor handles the escalation routing layer above Concierge - pulling brand voice, deciding what queue to send to, what severity to flag.
Concierge handoff -> Conductor route -> Keystone ticketEvery Vastura tier includes a 15-day free trial. No credit card is required up front - you only enter payment when you decide to keep the subscription past day 15. If you cancel within the trial window, your data stays accessible in read-only mode for 30 days so you can export everything cleanly.
If you subscribe and decide within 15 days that Conductor is not the right fit, contact support and we refund the prorated month in full - no questions, no retention call. Annual subscribers get a prorated refund on unused months minus a 5% admin fee, processed back to the original payment method within 7 business days.
Yes - your data is yours. Vastura supports full CSV / JSON / PDF export across every product. Conductor exports include all transactional records, configuration, audit log entries, and attachments. We also provide a Cutover Toolkit (Enterprise tier) for migrating to or from competing platforms with mapping templates included.
Multi-entity is native, not an afterthought. From the Pro tier upward, you can run multiple businesses (Inc / sole prop / partnerships) under one login with per-entity books, branding, and identity. The Enterprise tier unlocks unlimited entities plus consolidated reporting across the holdco. One operator, multiple businesses, one subscription instead of one-per-entity.
Vastura Ltd is Alberta-incorporated and built specifically for Canadian operators. USD-priced SaaS hits Canadian SMBs with a 35-40% FX surcharge after exchange and credit card cross-border fees. We price in CAD, charge in CAD, and write all tax surfaces (GST/HST, CCA, T2 prep) to Canadian rules first. International expansion comes later, but Canada is home base.
All Vastura data sits on Cloudflare's enterprise tier with end-to-end TLS 1.3, at-rest encryption, role-based access control, and a full audit log on every write. We're on the SOC 2 Type 1 - Type 2 roadmap (Type 1 target Q2 2027) and ISO 27001 (Q1 2028). PIPEDA compliance is built in by default - Canadian data residency is on the roadmap for late 2026.
The honest answer: most SMB-tier alternatives are single-tool, USD-priced, and don't talk to each other. Vastura's moat is the integrated stack - Ledger feeds Pilot feeds Studio feeds Launch Pad through the MCP bridge, and CAD-pricing means no FX surcharge. We don't claim to beat every dedicated single-tool incumbent on every micro-feature, but we beat the total cost of running 6 separate USD SaaS subscriptions glued together with Zapier.
No. Onboarding is guided - connect your bank or Shopify, walk through the entity wizard, and you're posting transactions or running storefronts within the first 30 minutes. The optional MCP layer (for AI agent operation) does benefit from a technical user, but the dashboard, reports, and day-to-day workflow are designed for the operator-without-an-IT-department.
Upgrades are prorated and instant - switch from Starter to Pro and you only pay the difference for the remaining days in the cycle. Downgrades take effect at the next renewal so you keep what you paid for. The Conductor agent can also recommend tier changes based on actual usage patterns at the Pro tier and above.
Yes - annual billing is 25% off the monthly rate, applied across every tier and every product. Registered Canadian non-profits and charities can apply for an additional 20% discount (contact support with your CRA registration number). Bundle suites (Ops / Ecomm / Pro / Enterprise) include built-in discounts on top of that.
