Product Roadmap

Business SaaS Roadmap

Inaya is building a business software layer that makes decentralized infrastructure simple and invisible to Web2 users.

The underlying DePIN infrastructure remains the foundation. The SaaS layer on top is what businesses actually see and use.

01

  • Business Workspace
  • Company / organization accounts
  • Passwordless magic-link authentication

  • Team members
  • Invitations
  • Business document management
  • Encrypted document storage
  • Decentralized storage infrastructure
02

  • Draft state
  • Pending submission

Enterprise Permissions & Secure Sharing

Live

Give businesses granular control over who can access, edit, manage and share business information.

  • VIEW / EDIT / MANAGE permission levels
  • Organization-level (owner/admin) access
  • Explicit per-document grants
  • Department & project scoped access
  • Private documents
  • Cross-organization isolation
  • Secure external sharing links
  • Share expiration
  • Share revocation
  • Maximum share usage limits
  • Hashed share tokens
  • Activity tracking
04

AI Business Assistant

Live

Ask questions about your business workspace using natural language. The AI operates only on information the authenticated user is already authorized to access.

AI permissions never exceed the user's permissions.

  • Permission-aware AI
  • Business document search
  • Department discovery
  • Project discovery
  • Activity & history queries
  • Document access queries
  • Natural-language business questions
  • Integrated into the Business Workspace
  • Available on web and mobile

Live today in both the web and mobile Business Workspace, powered by the exact same permission-scoped tools on the backend. Read-only here — for the AI's ability to propose real changes (never execute them directly), see Stage 9.

05

Desktop & Native Apps

Live

The Business Workspace as a real installed application — its own icon, tray presence, native notifications and auto-updates, not just a browser tab.

  • Windows installer (NSIS)
  • Linux installer (AppImage)
  • Linux installer (.deb)
  • System tray & minimize-to-tray
  • Native application menu (File / Edit / View)
  • Native desktop notifications for pending approvals
  • Signed, auto-updating releases
  • Google Sign-In support inside the native app window
  • Magic-link email sign-in support
  • Combined download page for Windows & Linux

Same Business Workspace, same permissions and encryption, running in its own window instead of a browser tab. macOS is not available yet.

06

Business Operations

Live

Manage projects, tasks, customers, purchasing, and inventory from the same secure workspace as your documents.

Projects & Tasks

  • Tasks
  • Assignments
  • Deadlines
  • Status tracking
  • Team collaboration

CRM

  • Customers
  • Leads
  • Deals
  • Customer records
  • Sales pipeline

Procurement

  • Suppliers
  • Purchase requests
  • Purchase orders
  • Approval workflows

Inventory

  • Products / items
  • Stock levels
  • Warehouses
  • Stock movements

All four modules are real and shipped: task status workflows, a unified Lead/Customer CRM with a sales pipeline, purchase requests/orders with a real approval chain, and inventory with real stock movements — including purchase orders that actually move inventory when received. Every record is department-scoped and queryable by the AI assistant. See BUSINESS_OPERATIONS_TASKS.md, _CRM.md, _PROCUREMENT.md, and _INVENTORY.md for what's covered and what's explicitly not yet (e.g. warehouse-to-warehouse transfer UI, PO line-item editing after creation).

07

Finance & HR

Live

Secure financial and people-management capabilities built directly into the Business Workspace.

Finance

  • Invoices
  • Expenses
  • Payments
  • Accounting records
  • Financial workflows
  • Financial reporting

HR

  • Employee records
  • Employee documents
  • Leave management
  • HR workflows
  • Department administration

Both modules are real and shipped: invoices with a cron-driven overdue status, expense approval workflows, payment recording/approval, and CSV financial reporting; employee lifecycle management, computed leave balances, leave approval, and Department Manager assignment. A testnet demonstration/validation layer, not regulated banking, tax filing, or payroll processing — every Finance/HR screen carries a visible "Testnet / Beta" badge. See BUSINESS_OPERATIONS_FINANCE.md and _HR.md for what's covered and what's explicitly not yet (e.g. no PDF invoice generation, no multi-currency conversion).

08

Business Intelligence

Live

Inaya Business Insights & KPI Dashboard — business activity turned into live dashboards and AI-generated insight.

  • Business dashboards
  • KPI cards (revenue, expenses, pipeline, task completion, headcount, low stock, pending approvals)
  • Period-over-period comparison
  • Revenue/expense/task/deal trend charts
  • Business alerts (overdue invoices, low stock, overdue tasks, significant KPI swings)
  • AI-generated summaries
  • AI business insights
  • Natural-language reporting
  • Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Yearly Business Brief
  • “How's the business doing this month?”
  • “Any alerts I should know about?”
  • “Explain why revenue changed this period.”
  • “Give me my weekly brief.”

Real and shipped: KPI cards, period-over-period comparison, trend charts, and business alerts all compute from the same permission-scoped data every other Business Workspace module already reads — no separate, weaker-scoped path. The AI Business Assistant answers KPI/trend/alert questions directly via a dedicated get_business_insights tool. The Business Brief (new 2026-09-01) is a periodic recap on the same real data — deterministic highlight bullets plus a best-effort AI narrative paragraph on top, available as its own Workspace view and conversationally via get_business_brief. See BUSINESS_OPERATIONS_INSIGHTS.md for what's covered and what's explicitly not yet (no custom date-range picker, no trend charts on mobile yet).

09

AI-Powered Business Operations

Live

The AI Business Assistant can propose real changes across 9 business domains — it never executes anything itself. A human with the exact same real authority the underlying action would require must approve; the server independently re-validates that authority; a mandatory 36-hour delay passes; only then does the change execute — and every step is recorded in a tamper-evident, cryptographically verifiable audit trail.

AI recommends. Humans authorize. The server validates. The system executes. The audit trail remembers.

  • Guarded task status changes
  • Guarded expense decisions
  • Guarded document workflow transitions
  • Guarded employee status changes
  • Guarded invoice actions
  • Guarded leave request decisions
  • Guarded purchase order transitions
  • Guarded purchase request transitions
  • Guarded CRM deal pipeline moves
  • Risk classification (LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH)
  • Proposal expiration for unreviewed requests
  • 36-hour mandatory delay after approval
  • Cryptographically hash-chained, tamper-evident audit trail
  • Self-service, independently verifiable audit export (JSON / CSV)

Real and shipped across 9 domains, covered by 19 automated tests including 11 adversarial security scenarios (forged approval, cross-tenant access, replay, expired-proposal execution, prompt injection, and more — all fail safely). Explicitly not yet covered: AI-driven record creation (a new task/contact/etc.), task reassignment, transaction categorization, and drafting/sending customer communications — none of these exist anywhere in the app yet, gated or not, so there's nothing yet to guard. See docs/ai-controlled-actions.md for the full phase-by-phase breakdown.

The Inaya Business Platform

Inaya's long-term goal is to make decentralized infrastructure invisible to everyday business users.

Businesses should experience a familiar SaaS platform for documents, projects, teams, workflows, operations and business intelligence.

Underneath that experience, Inaya provides privacy-focused decentralized infrastructure, encrypted storage and verifiable data integrity.

Make decentralized infrastructure as easy to use as traditional cloud software.
