Instead of forcing those teams into another heavyweight work OS, we build tools that fit directly into the Google workflow they already know. Today that story is centered on two products: Kanban Tasks for visual task and project work, and Sales CRM for contacts, organizations, deals, and shared pipelines. The goal is the same across both: fewer tabs, lower complexity, faster adoption, and collaboration that feels native inside Google Workspace. ## Vision Workflow tools that feel native in Google Workspace You already live in Google Workspace for your email, calendar, and meetings. Tooling Studio extends that environment with shared task boards and a lightweight CRM, so you can manage work and customer pipelines without piling on another bloated platform. - [View our deck in Figma](https://www.figma.com/deck/jPHSVuQV0SyqsoN1C9Zc3W/Tooling-Studio---Sales-Deck?node-id=1-60&p=f&viewport=520%2C98%2C0.24&t=lQ3dmPVNh9OXwRVF-1&scaling=min-zoom&content-scaling=fixed&page-id=0%3A1) ## Start Here - [Guide hub](https://tooling.studio/guides.md): Educational guides around Google Workspace task management, CRM workflows, and Gmail-first execution. - [Updates](https://tooling.studio/updates.md): Product changes and release history across Tooling Studio. - [Industry solutions](https://tooling.studio/sectors.md): How Tooling Studio is positioned for education and digital agency teams. - [Partner program](https://tooling.studio/partners.md): Reseller and partner program information for Google Workspace consultants and MSPs. - [AIPA](https://tooling.studio/aipa.md): An AI personal assistant for Google Workspace with voice and text control. ## Common Questions ### What is Tooling Studio? Tooling Studio makes lightweight workflow tools for people who already work in Google Workspace. Right now that means two core products: Kanban Tasks for visual task boards and Sales CRM for contacts, organizations, deals, and pipelines. ### Which product do I need: Kanban Tasks or Sales CRM? Choose Kanban Tasks if you want to manage tasks, projects, and shared boards. Choose Sales CRM if you want to manage leads, contacts, organizations, deals, and pipeline stages. One is for work management, the other is for customer relationship management. ### Who is Tooling Studio best for? Tooling Studio is best for individuals, founders, agencies, service businesses, and small teams that already spend most of their day in Gmail and Google Workspace. ### Do I need a Google account? Yes. Tooling Studio uses Google sign-in, so you need a Google account to use it. ### Do I need Google Chrome? Chrome is the main supported browser. If you want the smoothest setup, use Google Chrome on desktop. ### What is the difference between Launch App and Download Plugin? Launch App opens Tooling Studio directly in your browser. Download Plugin adds Tooling Studio inside Gmail and other Google Workspace screens. Most people start with the plugin and use Launch App when they want direct browser access. ### Do I need to install anything? Most people start by installing the Chrome plugin so Tooling Studio shows up inside Gmail. There is also a Launch App option on the website if you want to open Tooling Studio directly in the browser. ### What is free and what is paid? Personal use is free. You start paying only when you want to share boards, pipelines, or other work with teammates. ### How much does it cost for teams? Team collaboration costs $5 per user per month or $50 per user per year, per product. ### Can I use Tooling Studio on my own first? Yes. That is the easiest way to start. You can use it on your own for free and move to a team plan later if you want shared work. ### Does Tooling Studio work for both personal and team use? Yes. You can keep your own work private and use the paid team plan when you want shared boards, shared pipelines, and collaboration. ### Do I need to be technical to use it? No. If you can use Gmail, you can use Tooling Studio. The products are meant to feel simple and familiar. ### What if I install it and do not see it in Gmail? First make sure you are using Chrome. Then turn off ad blockers for Gmail and allow third-party cookies. If you are using a work Google account, your admin may also need to allow the extension. ### Can my company block Tooling Studio? Yes. Some Google Workspace admins restrict extensions. If that happens, ask your admin whether Tooling Studio is allowed for your account. ### How do I get help? Email support@tooling.studio.
