Seen enough?
Most CS platforms need a Salesforce admin,
an IT project, and 6 months.
Aarikai needs your Monday morning export and 6 minutes.

Write raw.
AI structures everything.

Type your messy post-call notes. Aarikai turns them into a Situation, Action, Outcome note, creates CTAs for every action item, and updates the health score. All in one 60-second review flow.

Also works with Prep for Meeting — click one button before any call and get a full brief with talking points, risks, renewal status, and suggested questions. 10 seconds.

Before you scroll further — five questions answered
Do I need Salesforce?
No.
Import a CSV from any CRM or start from scratch. Salesforce write-back is on the roadmap, not a requirement.
How long is setup?
6 minutes.
Upload your account list, set renewal dates, invite your team. Your first AI brief is ready before your next call.
Is this another dashboard?
No.
Aarikai opens every morning with a ranked action list. It tells you what to do today, not just what the numbers say.
Who is this built for?
SMB CS teams of 1 to 15.
No ops team. No RevOps. CSMs who need to stay on top of renewals and risk without enterprise overhead.
What does "free" mean?
All features. 6 months.
No credit card. No feature limits. At month 5 we ask one question: was this worth paying for? That is the only ask.

Sound familiar?

Without execution discipline
A renewal 90 days out sits in a spreadsheet. Nobody notices until it is 14 days out.
Post-call notes stay in your head or a personal doc. The CRM never gets updated. Your manager has no visibility.
You walk into a renewal call having spent 20 minutes piecing together context that should take 10 seconds.
At QBR, you cannot prove what your team did or what it changed. Every number is a manual pull.
With Aarikai
At-risk renewals surface automatically. Today's Focus tells you which account to call first, and why.
Raw call notes become structured SAO entries, CTAs, and health updates in 60 seconds. No manual CRM entry.
One click before any call. Renewal status, key risks, talking points, suggested questions. 10 seconds.
Every action tracked to outcome. QBR is a report, not a reconstruction. Your team's work is visible and provable.

Signal. Action. Outcome.
The execution loop most CS tools never close.

Most CS tools surface a signal and suggest an action. Aarikai creates the action, tracks who owns it, captures the outcome, and learns from the result.

Enterprise CS platforms get you to the insight. Aarikai gets you to done. Most tools stop at step 2: an insight on a dashboard. Aarikai runs the full loop: signal, action, owner, outcome, learning. Built for SMB CS teams who need execution discipline without a 4-month implementation.

Built for before, during,
and after every call.

The features that matter most to a CSM: the ones that save time, surface risk, and close the execution loop.

CRM Import

Export any report from Salesforce or HubSpot. Drop the file in. Aarikai maps columns, cleans values, and populates every account field in under 60 seconds.

How the scoring works
Five pillars. One Confidence Score. Explained in full.
30%
Weight
Adoption Depth

How broadly and frequently the product is used. Low adoption is the leading indicator of churn, not health score drops.

25%
Weight
Value Realization

Whether the customer can point to a specific outcome the product delivered. If they cannot, renewal is a negotiation, not a formality.

20%
Weight
Stakeholder Coverage

Who is in the room when renewal comes up. A single champion with no exec sponsor is a single point of failure.

15%
Weight
Engagement Quality

A monthly QBR with the VP counts more than 20 check-in emails. This pillar measures whether conversations are strategic or just reactive.

10%
Risk, subtracted
Erosion Velocity

The 14-day velocity of health score change. An account at 72 and falling fast is more urgent than an account at 58 that is stable.

HUMAN VS AI OVERRIDE

Override any AI prediction with your own judgment. Aarikai tracks which of you is right over time, building a personal accuracy score for every CSM.

KEY PRINCIPLE

An account at 72 and falling fast is more urgent than an account at 58 that is stable. Velocity matters more than the number.

Built for SMB execution speed.
Not enterprise CS administration.

Enterprise CS platforms can support parts of this workflow. Aarikai is purpose-built for SMB CS teams that need execution without a Salesforce admin, an IT project, or a 6-month rollout.

This is not a feature-for-feature replacement for enterprise CS suites. Aarikai is built for teams that need execution speed without admin overhead. If you manage 500+ accounts with a dedicated ops team, Gainsight or ChurnZero may be the right fit. If you are a CS team of 1 to 20 who needs to act fast without an IT project, keep reading.

Pricing estimates based on publicly available information as of 2026. Gainsight, ChurnZero, and Vitally are trademarks of their respective owners. Aarikai is purpose-built for SMB CS teams of 1–50 CSMs. Enterprise AI agent features (Gainsight Atlas, ChurnZero AI) exist but require enterprise contracts, implementation teams, and months to configure. The signal-to-execution workflow Aarikai is built on received market validation when Salesforce agreed to acquire Momentum in February 2026. CRM write-back and approval workflows are on the Aarikai roadmap.

"I built Aarikai because I watched CS teams lose renewals they should have kept. Not from bad work. From no system. Signals buried in spreadsheets. Notes stuck in heads. Follow-ups dropped between tools. After 2,000 accounts across Splunk, EMC, and Hitachi Vantara, I knew exactly what the gap was."

WHERE WE ARE HEADED
Outcome-aligned pricing

Portfolio-based pricing is how we start. Where we are building toward is charging on ARR protected, not just accounts managed. As we build attribution data with early access teams, our long-term model moves toward a success-fee layer: you pay less upfront and a small percentage of renewals Aarikai helped protect.

No date. No promise. Just the direction we are committed to. Early access teams are the foundation of that model. Talk to us about it →

"Early access teams get my direct line. Not a support queue. Not a ticketing system. My personal email. If something is broken or missing, I will fix it before month 5. That is the deal I am making with the first 10 teams."
