Overview
That combination is what makes Macky different from both a chatbot and a traditional firm. Ask Macky, the platform's built-in AI chat, is there for the day-to-day: quick business questions, analysis of files you upload, and — when the answer warrants more than a few paragraphs — a full, board-ready report delivered as a properly formatted Word document or Excel model. For anything bigger, you move into a fixed-price Engagement, where the same AI horsepower is paired with human review, a defined scope, and a rework guarantee if the first pass isn't right. A CX Audit that would run $40,000 and take weeks at a traditional firm is $6,500 on Macky, delivered on a fixed schedule.
Everything lives in one workspace built for how teams actually use it: an engagement tracker, a document library that holds every deliverable you've ever generated, and team access so it's not just one person's tool. It's backed by Claude, Anthropic's AI models, for higher-quality writing and analysis, and it works in the language you actually operate in. The result is a platform that gives growing businesses the kind of consulting output they used to have to pay six figures for — at a price and speed that make it something you can use continuously, not just once a year.

Why we rebuilt it
The original Macky was a chat tool: ask it a business question, get an answer back. Useful, but not enough. What customers kept asking for wasn't more advice — it was a finished piece of work. A real plan. A real audit. Something they could actually hand to their team or their board.
So that's what we rebuilt Macky to do.
What's new
Fixed-price consulting engagements. Choose from a growing catalogue — Pricing Review, AI-Adoption Roadmap, Go-to-Market Plan, CX Audit & Roadmap, and more — each scoped, priced upfront, and delivered on a set timeline. A CX Audit & Roadmap that runs $40,000+ at a traditional firm is $6,500 on Macky.
Better AI under the hood. We’ve moved from OpenAI to Anthropic’s Claude models, producing noticeably higher-quality, more accurate business writing and analysis — across every engagement and every chat.
A real consultant signs off on every deliverable. AI drafts it; a named, certified senior consultant reviews it before it ever reaches you.
Rework guarantee. Not right the first time — we fix it, at no extra charge.
Ask Macky, reimagined. Attach your own files — financials, decks, reports — for Macky to analyze directly. Ask for comprehensive, board-ready reports instead of a few paragraphs. Get them back as a properly formatted Word document, Excel model, or whichever format fits.
Your language, your choice. Request your outputs in the language you actually work in.
A workspace to run it all. Engagement tracking, a document library that holds everything you’ve ever generated, and team access if you’re not working solo.
Free Business Health Check. A five-part diagnostic of your business — free, any time you want a read on where things stand.
In this version we have upgraded our to OpenAI 4.o model, added a new library feature to save outputs, improved the UI/UX, and lowered all plan costs.
