About MarginGlow
MarginGlow is an AI growth desk that helps small-business owners find more customers, cut costs and turn business opportunities into practical actions.
What MarginGlow does
Business Check-up and research
Start with your business name, website or location and a commercial goal. MarginGlow uses the information you provide and available public evidence to identify issues worth investigating.
Business Map and Business Memory
Organise what matters about your business in a workspace you can return to. The aim is to build on your business context rather than start every conversation from scratch.
Glow Missions and practical action plans
Turn opportunities into a first Glow Mission and a 30-day Action Plan. Use the workspace to prepare outputs and work through priorities for customer growth, costs and margins.
AI intelligence for authorised agents
MarginGlow AI Signal exposes specialist business analysis through Model Context Protocol (MCP). Authorised agents can request structured business opportunities through the separate Signal service.
What makes MarginGlow different
€7 or US$7 monthly, with no activation fee
Pro starts with a single monthly payment, with no annual commitment. Standard Power Codes reduce the first month by 20%, and the full recurring terms are shown before payment.
100 Task Credits in each paid month
Pro includes 100 Task Credits on joining and on paid monthly renewal. Extra packs are optional purchases, so the included allowance is clear before you begin.
A 30-day plan connected to your business
The Pro workflow combines research, Business Memory, a Business Map and a 30-day Action Plan. It is designed around prioritised business actions rather than a blank conversation alone.
Specialist focus, with room for other tools
ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude are alternatives business owners may consider for AI assistance. MarginGlow’s focus is a dedicated small-business research and action workflow; you can use it alongside your existing tools, and its value depends on your needs.
Built for people and authorised AI agents
Owners can use MarginGlow directly, while authorised developers can access business intelligence through Signal and MCP. This provides two ways to use the specialist analysis, with separate access and payment arrangements.
MarginGlow is built with Google Gemini and hosted on Google Cloud. See pricing and our AI Transparency Policy for the details.
