Introduction to Cadences: The Platform that Unifies Your Business
Discover how Cadences integrates CRM, automation, AI and professional websites into a single platform. A complete guide to understanding the ecosystem.
In a world where businesses use dozens of disconnected tools, Cadences was born with a radical vision: a single platform for everything. It's not just a CRM. It's not just an automation tool. It's a complete ecosystem that integrates project management, artificial intelligence, professional websites and more.
💡 What you'll learn in this article
- What Cadences is and what problems it solves
- The ecosystem components: App, Storefronts, ML Trainer
- Real use cases and how to get started
Digital Fragmentation
The average modern company uses more than 130 SaaS applications. A CRM here, a project tool there, another for automation, another for the website, another for email marketing... The result is predictable:
Fragmented data
Client information is scattered across 15 different systems
Lost context
The sales team doesn't know what support did, and vice versa
Operational friction
Hours wasted copying data from one tool to another
Accumulated costs
€50/month here, €100/month there... and suddenly you're paying €2,000/month in SaaS
Cadences exists to solve this problem. Not by adding another tool to the stack, but by replacing the entire stack.
A Unified Ecosystem
Cadences is a local-first platform (your data is yours) with cloud sync capabilities. But more than an app, it's an ecosystem of interconnected products:
Cadences App
The main application: CRM, project management, workflows, dashboards and AI assistant.
Storefronts
Professional websites connected to Cadences with CMS, forms and integrated AI.
ML Trainer
Train AI models with your own data. Local and private Machine Learning.
Cadences App: The Brain of Your Business
The Cadences application is where the magic happens. Available as a desktop app (Electron) and web version, it includes:
Project & Task Management
Organize your work in projects with list, Kanban board and calendar views. Each task can have subtasks, file attachments, comments, geographic locations and even audio recordings for voice notes.
Multi-Model AI Assistant
You don't depend on a single AI provider. Cadences integrates 14 different providers:
| Category | Providers |
|---|---|
| ☁️ Cloud | Gemini, GPT-4, Claude, DeepSeek, Groq, xAI Grok |
| 💻 Local | Ollama, LMStudio, vLLM, LocalAI |
| 🔄 Aggregators | OpenRouter, Together AI, Cloudflare Workers AI |
| ⚙️ Custom | Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint |
The assistant knows your projects, tasks, clients and data. It can create tasks, search information, generate reports and execute complex operations. It's not a generic chatbot: it's your personal assistant with full context.
Workflows & Automation
The Workflow Canvas is the visual automation engine. Drag nodes, connect them and create complex flows:
