In development. Early access opens to a small group first.
ShipBench reads your analytics, your search data, and the marketing work you never finished, then hands you the few actions that matter today, with the reason behind each one. Built for solo founders who do their own marketing.
Monday
3 focused actions are ready for you today.
Today's bench
Check whether the promise, proof, and next step are immediately clear.
ReasonThis page is the closest match to your current goal and has not been reviewed since the goal was set.
ExpectedA page where a new visitor can find the promise, the proof, and the next step without scrolling back up.
The draft is approved. Post it in the evening window your audience reads.
Find one real question you can answer from experience without forcing a product mention.
The problem
Analytics in one tab, Search Console in another. A half-written LinkedIn post, a Reddit thread you meant to answer, a landing page untouched since launch. None of it tells you what matters today. So the morning goes to deciding, and the doing slips to tomorrow.
Every tool shows you numbers. Not one of them turns a page losing clicks into a task with a reason and a deadline.
Which means it resets every morning, and it gets outvoted by whatever is loudest in your inbox.
Ideas, half posts, and good intentions sit in a notes app while the product's growth waits on them.
How it works
Signals in, a short plan out, your approval on anything public, and the result measured so the next plan is sharper.
Google Analytics, Search Console, PostHog, your email tool. ShipBench reads them. It does not replace them.
“Open early access to the first group of founders.” “Turn free users into the first paying ones.” Every action is judged against that line.
At the hour you choose, ShipBench picks up to three actions per product. Small enough to finish, specific enough to start.
Each action carries its reason and its expected outcome. Publishing and sending wait for your approval unless your policy says otherwise.
What shipped, what moved, what didn't. The next bench is built on that, not on a template.
Evidence, not vibes
Open any action and you get two lines: the reason ShipBench chose it, and the outcome it expects. If the reason is weak, dismiss it. The plan gets better when you do.
Today's bench
What needs your attention
The post points people at pricing. Make sure the page answers the question it raises.
▾ Why this, now?
Reason Search Console shows the page earning impressions for a query it never answers. The post you approved will send more people to it.
Expected Visitors who arrive from the post find the answer on the page, and trial starts from it are measurable next week.
Account
Human-in-the-loop policies
Human in the loop
Research, prioritizing, drafting, and internal updates can run on their own. Publishing a post, sending an email, or changing a live page stops at an approval gate. You set the policy per action type, and you can loosen it as trust builds.
Claude and Codex
ShipBench is also a remote MCP server. Connect Claude or Codex with a scoped token and the agent reads your strategy, your plans, and today's bench, then acts through the same permissions and approval gates as the app.
What should I work on today for Assistant for Basecamp, and why?
→ shipbench.today project=assistant-for-basecamp
→ shipbench.document strategy.md
Two actions are on your bench, both tied to the MRR goal in strategy.md:
Publishing needs your approval. Say the word and it goes out through ShipBench.
Workspace
Export .zipYour workspace, readable
Each product gets a workspace: goals, strategy, playbooks, daily plans, drafts, and reports, all as Markdown documents. Open them, edit them, export them. Nothing that matters is locked in a table you can't see.
Where the actions land
ShipBench connects the tools you already pay for through their public APIs. When a tool has no usable API, it prepares the work and walks you through the step.
Boundaries
It reads yours. It doesn't draw new charts. The output is a task, not a graph.
It produces a few actions a day and expects them done. It does not want your whole backlog.
It drafts, you approve, and it posts through the tools you already use. No new queue to babysit.
Why it exists
I run Assistant for Basecamp, a paying product, and I do all of its marketing myself. The routine is the same every time: pull the numbers, decide what to ship, draft it, post it, check what moved. ShipBench is that routine turned into software. Assistant for Basecamp is the first product on the bench, and nothing opens to other founders until it works for mine.

FAQ
A growth operating system for a founder who does their own marketing. You connect your analytics and search data, set a goal per product, and at the hour you pick ShipBench hands you a short list of actions with the reason behind each one. You do them, defer them, or dismiss them. Anything public waits for your approval. It runs as a web app and as a remote MCP server for Claude and Codex.
The model is the least interesting part. ShipBench's job is the loop around it: pulling real signals, holding them against your goal, producing a small plan, gating what goes public, and measuring what happened so the next plan is better. The AI provider is a setting. You can run the planner on simple rules, on Cloudflare Workers AI, or on your own OpenAI key.
At launch: Google Analytics, Google Search Console, PostHog, and an email provider. More sources will follow where the tool has a public API. Where a tool has no usable API, ShipBench prepares the work and walks you through the step instead of pretending to automate it.
Not unless you tell it to. The default policy requires your approval for every public action: publishing a post, sending an email, changing a live page. Research, prioritizing, drafting, and internal updates can run on their own. You set the policy per action type and can loosen it as trust builds.
ShipBench exposes your workspace and today's bench over MCP. You create a scoped token, connect your AI client, and the agent can read your strategy, plans, and actions, then act through the same services and approval gates the web app uses. Revoke the token and access ends.
Pricing isn't decided. Early-access founders will see it first and get a say in it. There is no card to enter today.
ShipBench is in development. Early access opens to a small group of solo founders first, and the only promise on dates is that you'll get one email when your spot is ready.
For a solo SaaS founder responsible for their own marketing, with a product that is live or about to be. Not for agencies or marketing teams, at least not yet. The product is built around one person making the calls.
Early access opens to a small group of solo founders first. Leave your email and you'll hear from Asad when your spot is ready, and at no other time.
