Three things we promised. Here's where each one is.
The bot reads, tracks, drafts. You stay in command.
Connect once. The bot reads every vendor reply — WhatsApp + email + WeChat — and tracks what you've agreed. It drafts what goes out from your templates. You tap send. Three operating modes — pick yours.
See how it works →How we'll score suppliers fairly.
Six things go into the score. Most can't be gamed — because they require actually delivering, not just looking responsive.
See the six →How everyone gets paid.
Not a subscription. Three sides — operators, suppliers, buyers — pay at three different moments. Here's the picture.
See the model →The bot reads, tracks, drafts. You stay in command.
Connect once — WhatsApp, email, WeChat where we can. The bot reads what comes in, tracks what you agreed, drafts what goes out. You tap send. The bot earns more autonomy over time, on the actions you decide. Commercially binding moves — price, MOQ, timeline, spec — always pass through you. That's not a Phase 1 limitation. That's the posture.
"Wang Mei moved the unit price from 12.40 to 12.85 in the Thursday thread. You haven't replied yet. The Mar 28 ship-by date is now Apr 4 — quietly."
Two lines in your 5pm digest. Before you sign the PO Monday. Nothing about Wang Mei changed in your inbox — it never says "by the way I'm raising the price." The bot reads the math against what you both already agreed and flags the gap. In the morning, "draft counter to Wang Mei holding 12.40" lands at the top of your to-dos with the brief already assembled.
Three operating modes. You pick the dial.
Some operators want Frenzee to just handle it. Others want their voice and judgment in the loop. Same product, three positions on the autonomy dial — and you can flip per vendor.
Bot handles outbound. You live in the morning brief — the only place binding moves wait for your tap. For Shopify migrants, side-hustlers, anyone who says just get it done.
Bot drafts from your templates. You review and tap send. Negotiation context packs assembled for you, decisions stay yours. The default for working operators.
You're driving. Bot reads, tracks, drafts on demand. For James-tier operators whose 30 years of judgment is the differentiator.
- · Sample requests with spec lists
- · PO acks + payment terms
- · Ship-by confirmations
- · Spec clarifications
- · Intro-to-new-vendor opens
- · "Received, reviewing this week"
- · Counter-pricing
- · Pushback when they steer the product
- · Conditional offers
- · Walk-away decisions
- · Long-term relationship moves
That's the part 30 years of experience doesn't outsource. The bot makes your judgment more leveraged — not replaced.
Auto-sending patterned acks per vendor (you flip the toggle). Pre-filled boilerplate. Routine receipts. Each one has an audit log — what was sent, when, why.
Commercially binding commits — price changes, MOQ moves, ship dates, sample approvals, negotiation moves. You always tap send. Same in 12 months. Same in 5 years.
We connect your channels at the table — WhatsApp linked device, Gmail or Outlook access. You point us at three vendors. By 5pm Thursday you get the first digest on your real conversations — what the bot read, what it drafted for you to review. Nothing leaves your phone unless you tap send.
How we'll score suppliers fairly.
Today the supplier list is ranked and filtered. It is not vetted — not yet. The vetted layer is what makes Frenzee defensible. Here's the recipe.
The bot reading your vendor chats isn't just a digest tool. Every commitment it tracks — price held, ship-by hit, spec matched, sample-fee charged — flows into axes 1 + 2 + 3 over months. That's the Wang Mei test at scale. Across hundreds of operators, the same supplier's drift pattern becomes the signal.
"Tier A · 78 · Strong because: on-time 94% across 11 deliveries, samples returned free against PO, holds price within 2%. Watch: nudged spec on three orders last quarter."
No black box. You can always click in and see the three drivers + what the supplier would need to do to move up a tier. Sample-fee policy and amicability axes — the things sourcing-agents charge 8% to know — are visible on the supplier card itself.
Context tag, not a scoring input: we also note whether each supplier sells on Xiaohongshu or TikTok Shop — that's the old-school vs new-school sourcing lane, useful intel for buyers but not a quality signal in itself.
How we make money — three jobs, three price tags.
Frenzee charges all three sides because it does different work for each. Operators get a force multiplier (replaces their sourcing-agent fees). Buyers get production-as-a-service (replaces the PM or agency they'd otherwise hire). Suppliers get distribution (replaces marketing spend on Alibaba ads). Everyone enters free. Paid tiers unlock as the work scales — Alibaba-style.
Anyone can browse, search, chat with the AI, and try the bot on one vendor relationship without paying. No credit card. The supplier graph is open. This is what builds the network.

Three tiers map onto the three operating modes — Automate = Waymo, Guided = Autopilot, Managed = full concierge. Pricing positioned below Pietra Essentials ($39/mo) for the wedge tier, since they ship more feature-surface today and we win by being lighter at the front door. Geographic gravity holds: Asia-based brands tend to land in Managed (turnkey production); Western brands tend to land in Guided (audit + sourcing help). Same SKUs — different gravity per region.

No homework. Bring yourself.
An hour. Two things we'll do together — and whatever else comes up.
The rest of this is just so you have something to react to — not a deck to read end-to-end. Skim what's useful, ignore what isn't.
