PragovsDIY Tools

Having the tools
isn't the same as doing the work.

Buffer, Semrush, Google Ads Manager, Canva — great products. But you're still the one who has to show up. Prago is the AI that shows up for you.

Prago: the agent that executes

Prago uses the same underlying capabilities as the tools you'd stack — publishing, ads, analytics, SEO — but wraps them in an AI that makes decisions and takes action. You don't need to log in. The work happens.

DIY Tools: capability without execution

DIY tools are powerful — if you use them. The problem is time, context-switching, and staying consistent. Most small businesses pay for tools they under-use because the bottleneck isn't capability, it's capacity.

The tools aren't the problem

The average small business owner pays for Buffer ($18/mo), Canva Pro ($20/mo), Semrush ($130/mo), Google Analytics (free but complex), and manages Google Ads and Meta Ads manually — that's $168/mo and 10+ hours/week in active management.

These tools are excellent. The problem is that using them well requires strategic thinking, creative output, and consistent execution — all layered on top of running a business. Most users end up in a pattern of burst activity followed by neglect.

Prago doesn't replace the tools — it replaces the need for you to use them. The agent handles the strategy, the content, the publishing, the optimisation, and the reporting. You get a dashboard and a Sunday summary. That's it.

Stop paying for tools you don't have time to use.

Prago Starter includes execution across all channels from $99/mo. No tool-stacking, no context-switching.
