Plutio?
BUILD FIRST
- A non-sensitive or read-only version of the core experience
- A manual review step wherever correctness or trust matters
- A narrow companion tool that removes a real piece of work
LEAVE FOR LATER
- Regulated decisions, payments, or irreversible actions
- Claims of correctness, compliance, or uptime that the MVP cannot support
- Sensitive integrations until security, support, and auditability are ready
RESEARCH NOTES
What this tool actually does.
Plutio is an all-in-one business management platform for freelancers and agencies, not a finance/accounting tool. It combines projects, task boards (kanban/list/calendar/Gantt), time tracking, proposals, contracts with e-signatures, invoicing and payments (Stripe/PayPal/Square), scheduling, forms, client portals, file storage, CRM, wiki, automations, custom pages, and an AI assistant called Plutio Pal. A distinctive workflow: lead intake via form → proposal → signed contract → project → tracked time → invoice → payment, with data flowing across modules. Pricing is capacity-based, not feature-gated. Core $19/mo: 9 active clients, no contributors, 100GB, 800 AI credits, 900 workflow actions/mo. Pro $49/mo: unlimited clients, 30 contributors, 500GB, 2,500 AI credits, 5,500 actions, SSO add-on. Max $199/mo: unlimited contributors, 2TB, 10,000 AI credits, 50,000 actions, white-label and SSO i
RESEARCHED BUILD PROMPT
Give this to your coding agent.
Build a working web app prototype, 'ClientFlow', that recreates Plutio's connected business workflow: intake form → interactive proposal → e-signed contract → project with tasks/time tracking → invoice → payment. The core differentiator is that every record links to the same client, so a proposal acceptance auto-creates a project and a completed project can generate an invoice. User-facing requirements: a client dashboard with projects, invoices, proposals, contracts, and files; a project board with kanban/list/calendar/Gantt views, custom statuses, tags, and one-click time tracking that logs billable hours to an invoice; a proposal builder with a client-facing signatures page (signature pad, name, date, audit timestamp) that transitions to 'Accepted'; a contract template engine with e-sign; an embeddable booking page with availability/buffer rules; an intake form builder that pushes submissions into a CRM pipeline view; a client portal login showing only that client's data; and a simple automation builder ('when form submitted → create proposal; when invoice paid → send thank-you note') with event-history logging. Also include a rules-based 'Pal' prompt box that can perform actions like 'create invoice for project X' or 'list overdue projects' by parsing simple intents — no real LLM needed. Technical requirements: full-stack TypeScript monorepo; Next.js 14 App Router front-end with Tailwind; PostgreSQL + Prisma; NextAuth or Clerk for auth (client + admin roles); S3-compatible object storage for uploads; Stripe checkout for invoice payment (test mode); BullMQ + Redis for background automation jobs; REST API with webhook endpoints mirroring the main entities; seed script with a demo client, project, proposal, contract, and invoice. State explicitly in the README that this is an original implementation, not affiliated with or copying Plutio's brand, logo, marketing copy, or visual design — build a distinct, simple, neutral UI. Deliberately out of scope: real AI agent capabilities, multi-tenant plan/quota billing, white-label domain hosting, SSO, native mobile apps, and accounting-grade double-entry books (prototype only tracks invoice status, not ledgers). The README must document setup (env vars, seed, Stripe webhook listener), architecture decisions, and known limitations (single-user admin model, no real LLM, e-signature is not legally binding, no real payment refunds).
Do not copy the original brand, proprietary assets, or UI; create an original visual system.
