The World's First AI-Native SaaS Buyer Assistant

Built in Sweden. Serving the Nordics and Beyond. Transforming How Every Company Buys Software.


A New Era in B2B Software Buying Begins

Picture this: You're a founder staring at your screen at 11 PM, 37 browser tabs open. Each one promises to help you find the "perfect CRM." You've read 200+ reviews, watched 12 demo videos, and started three different comparison spreadsheets.

Three weeks later, you're more confused than when you started.

This is the reality of buying software in 2025.

We have AI that can write code, create art, and hold conversations that feel human. Yet when it comes to making one of the most critical business decisions—choosing the right tools to run your company—we're still drowning in tabs, lost in endless options, and building spreadsheets like it's 2005.

Until now.

Today marks a fundamental shift in how businesses discover, evaluate, and buy software. We're proud to introduce what we believe is the world's first truly AI-native buyer assistant: Zedek.ai.

Not a directory with AI features. Not a chatbot on a comparison site. A complete reimagining of the B2B buying process, built from the ground up on AI intelligence.

Born in Stockholm. Built for the world.


The Problem: We're Drowning in SaaS Choices

The Paradox of Abundance

The B2B software landscape has exploded:

  • 30,000+ SaaS products available globally

  • 500+ new tools launched every month

  • Millions of user reviews scattered across platforms

  • Thousands of "best tool" listicles published daily

More options should mean better decisions, right?

Wrong.

The abundance of choice has created something worse: decision paralysis.

What SaaS Buying Actually Looks Like in 2025

Let's be honest about the current process:

Week 1-2: The Research Rabbit Hole

  • Google "best [tool category] for [your situation]"

  • Open 40+ tabs from different sources

  • Read contradictory reviews

  • Join Reddit threads and Slack communities asking for opinions

  • Everyone recommends something different

Week 3-4: The Demo Marathon

  • Book 8-12 vendor demos

  • Hear the same pitch with different branding

  • Try to remember which feature was in which tool

  • Take notes in 4 different places

  • Realize you need to see them all again

Week 5-6: The Spreadsheet Nightmare

  • Build comparison table at midnight

  • Try to normalize pricing across different models

  • Realize you're comparing apples to airplanes

  • Find feature gaps in your notes

  • Start over with more demos

Week 7-8: The Team Debate

  • Present findings to stakeholders

  • Discover everyone has different priorities

  • Sales wants ease, IT wants security, Finance wants savings

  • Compromise on a tool nobody loves

  • Wonder if you made the right choice

Total Investment: 6-8 weeks, 60+ hours, 1 exhausted team, questionable decision confidence.

For ONE software purchase.

And the worst part? You'll do this 5-10 times per year.


The Solution: AI-Native Intelligence for Every SaaS Decision

What "AI-Native" Actually Means

At Zedek.ai, we didn't bolt AI features onto an existing platform. We started with a simple question:

"If we rebuilt B2B software buying from scratch in 2025, knowing what AI can do, what would it look like?"

The answer: Zedek.ai.

AI-native means:

  • Architecture built on Large Language Models (LLMs) from day one

  • Conversational understanding instead of forms and filters

  • Contextual intelligence that learns your specific situation

  • Dynamic recommendations that evolve with your needs

  • Continuous learning from real-world buying decisions

This isn't a chatbot. This isn't AI-enhanced search. This is an intelligent buying companion that understands your business like a trusted advisor who's evaluated 30,000 tools and talked to 100,000 buyers.


How Zedek.ai Actually Works: Your AI Buying Assistant

Step 1: Describe Your Reality

Instead of filling out forms with dropdown menus and checkboxes, you simply describe what you need in natural language:

Example:

"We're a 35-person fintech scale-up in Stockholm. Just raised Series A. Currently using spreadsheets for sales tracking but it's breaking down. Need to professionalize our sales process. Using Google Workspace and Slack. Budget around 80,000 SEK annually. Must be GDPR compliant."

That's it. No forms. No filters. Just describe your situation like you'd explain it to a colleague.

Step 2: Zedek AI Builds Your Context

This is where the magic happens. Our AI doesn't just match keywords. It understands your situation across multiple dimensions:

Company Context:

  • Stage: Series A scale-up (need scalable, investor-ready tools)

  • Size: 35 people (SMB pricing, not enterprise complexity)

  • Growth trajectory: Scaling (need room to grow)

  • Location: Stockholm (GDPR requirements, EU data residency)

Technical Context:

  • Current stack: Google Workspace, Slack

  • Integration requirements: Must work with existing tools

  • Technical capability: Scale-up likely has some technical resources

  • Migration considerations: Moving from spreadsheets (need easy onboarding)

Functional Requirements:

  • Use case: Sales process management

  • Current pain: Spreadsheets breaking down

  • Implied needs: Deal tracking, pipeline visibility, collaboration

  • Team adoption: Need intuitive interface for sales team

Financial Context:

  • Budget: 80K SEK/year (~$7,500 USD)

  • Pricing model awareness: Annual budget suggests annual pricing

  • Value expectation: ROI-conscious, need clear value

Compliance & Regional:

  • GDPR compliance: Explicitly required

  • Data residency: EU hosting likely needed

  • Local support: Swedish/Nordic support beneficial

The AI processes ALL of this—not just the explicit requirements you stated, but the implicit needs based on your context.

Step 3: Get Your Ranked Shortlist

Within minutes, you receive 3-5 personalized recommendations with:

🎯 Fit Score "88% match based on your requirements" Clear explanation of why each tool fits your specific situation

⚠️ Risk Signals

  • Vendor stability and financial health

  • Lock-in potential and switching costs

  • Implementation complexity and timeline

  • Common gotchas for companies like yours

💰 Pricing Intelligence

  • Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) including hidden costs

  • Pricing model fit for your company size

Why Zedek.ai Exists: The Mission

A Personal Story

The idea for Zedek.ai came from frustration—the kind of frustration every founder, every RevOps leader, every procurement team knows intimately.

We watched brilliant teams—teams building world-changing products—waste weeks on software buying decisions that should take days. We saw:

  • Time waste: Hundreds of hours lost to research that could be spent building

  • Decision anxiety: Teams second-guessing choices because of information overload

  • Vendor noise: Marketing drowning out merit

  • Information asymmetry: Vendors knowing more about pricing than buyers

  • Fragmented context: Switching between 15 tabs to remember who said what

And we asked: Why?

Why, in 2025, with AI capable of understanding context and synthesizing information, are we still buying software like it's 2015?

The answer was simple: Nobody had built a truly AI-native solution.

So we did.

The Vision

Zedek.ai exists to make one thing true:

Every B2B software buying decision should be confident, fast, and based on intelligence—not just information.

We believe:

  • Time is precious. Software buying shouldn't take weeks.

  • Context matters. Generic recommendations waste everyone's time.

  • Transparency wins. Buyers deserve to know the "why" behind recommendations.

  • Fairness is fundamental. Great tools should win on merit, not marketing budget.

  • Privacy is non-negotiable. Your data is yours, always.
