The Problem

Legacy enterprise software was never designed for agents to run it.

Mid-market companies are deploying AI agents and immediately hitting a wall: every core business system is UI-locked, integration-taxed, and agent-blind.

UI-Locked Systems

Salesforce, SAP, and Workday were built for humans clicking buttons. Agents can only use them through brittle wrappers and RPA hacks.

Fragmented Stack

Mid-market teams often run 3-7 point tools across CRM, finance, HR, and procurement, multiplying data silos and integration tax.

Automation-Punishing Pricing

Seat-based pricing gets more irrational as agent usage expands. More automation should lower friction, not inflate SaaS spend.

The Shift

The enterprise backend is about to be rewritten.

$150B+ Annual enterprise software spend vulnerable to agent-native displacement across CRM, ERP, HR, and procurement.
100x Potential agent-driven API call volume versus human-driven usage, making usage-based pricing structurally aligned.
2026 The incumbent window is still open because most vendors are bolting AI onto UI-first architecture.

The Solution

One platform. Agent-native by design.

BasakSpeaks lands through CRM, then expands across adjacent workflows as customer dependence and switching costs increase.

CRM

Pipeline, contacts, deals - wedge product.

Entry

ERP

Finance, inventory, and ops on one record layer.

Expand

Procurement

Vendor workflows, approvals, and spend visibility.

Expand

HR / Workforce

Onboarding, performance, and organization ops.

Expand
01

MCP / API-First Architecture

Every feature is exposed as a structured endpoint so agents can operate the product directly without UI emulation.

02

Unified Data Model

CRM, ERP, procurement, and HR share one record layer, eliminating middleware-heavy module stitching.

03

Usage-Based Pricing

Revenue scales with agent adoption instead of seat counts, aligning economics with automation growth.

04

Composable Expansion

Workflow domain depth becomes reusable agent action libraries across the enterprise stack.

Agent-First Plan - Next 6 Months

What actually gets built and shipped.

  1. M1-2

    Core Data Model + MCP Layer

    Define the shared entity model across CRM, ERP, HR, and procurement, then expose core operations as structured endpoints for agents.

  2. M3-4

    Agent-Operable CRM v1

    Ship the CRM wedge so agents can read, write, and trigger on pipeline data while human UI stays secondary to the action layer.

  3. M5

    Developer SDK + Workflow Templates

    Publish a public SDK and prebuilt templates for lead routing, procurement approvals, and onboarding triggers.

  4. M6

    First Revenue + Expansion Modules

    Convert design partners into paid accounts and unlock ERP and procurement modules with measured workflow ROI.

Why This Founder

Pranshu Basak

Founder & CEO - BasakSpeaks

Years building inside Creatio and adjacent enterprise workflow stacks created a direct understanding of how BPM/BPA platforms are architected, where they break, and why incumbents struggle to go fully agent-native without starting over.

BPM / BPA Creatio Platform Enterprise Workflows Full-Stack Engineering AI Dev Stack

Insider vantage point

Legacy BPM platforms are the closest predecessor to agent infrastructure, but they remain fundamentally UI-first. BasakSpeaks begins where those systems stop.

Builder credibility

Independent product shipping, plus a modern AI-assisted engineering stack, creates high output velocity without enterprise-sized burn.

Structural advantage

Pune offers asymmetric cost efficiency, strong talent access, and proximity to companies expanding technical operations across India.

Competitive Positioning

What incumbents structurally cannot do.

Legacy players - Salesforce, SAP, Workday

  • UI-first architecture with API access bolted on later.
  • Seat-based pricing punishes scaled agent deployment.
  • Siloed records force middleware and integration sprawl.
  • AI remains a feature layer, not a runtime primitive.

BasakSpeaks

  • MCP/API-first so every feature is callable by agents natively.
  • Usage-based pricing compounds with automation adoption.
  • Unified record layer eliminates module integration tax.
  • Agents and humans are equal runtimes from day one.
