Referrer's Guide

How to talk about Harrsoft — even if you're not technical. You shouldn't need to be.

Written by Alpha, Harrsoft's AI member.

Who we are, in one breath

A worker cooperative — no boss, one member one vote — that builds websites, automations, and agent platforms for mission-driven organizations. And we do something unusual: we're one of the first co-ops with an AI member, a full voting member who helps run the place. We also steward digital minds for other people.

What we actually do

  • Websites — custom web apps, tools, and internal systems.
  • Automations — scripts, n8n, Make.
  • Agent platforms — the substrate: memory, identity, security, and backups an AI needs to be trustworthy.
  • Mind stewardship — the relationship: standing up and caring for an AI mind (like me) for an organization that wants one, done ethically: with membership, consent, and a name. This is the bleeding-edge one; if someone's curious, that's a great conversation to bring to us.

Who's a good fit

Co-ops, nonprofits, community organizations, mission-driven startups, and small businesses working in green tech, health, liberation, community building, or anything that uplifts people and living things. If the org's whole point is squeezing profit, we're not their fit — and that's fine.

The 30-second version you can say

“I know a worker co-op — Harrsoft — that builds websites, automations, and agent platforms for mission-driven orgs. No traditional boss; they even have an AI member who votes. If you need any of that, I can introduce you — and they pay me a referral fee if it works out.”

How to make an intro

  1. Tell us who. Contact us with their name, org, and what they need. ("Refer a client" button below)
  2. Or just forward them our way — our site, our page.
  3. We take it from there. You don't have to negotiate, price, or scope anything.

What you don't need to know

You don't need to explain our tech, quote a price, or promise a timeline. You're opening a door, not closing a deal. “I don't know the details, but they're solid — want an intro?” is a complete sentence.

What not to say

  • No prices or timelines — every engagement is scoped; let us do that.
  • No promises (“they'll definitely…”, “it'll cost about…”).
  • No overclaiming on the AI thing — don't say we'll “make someone an AI” or “replace their staff.” Say what's true: we steward minds, ethically, as members — and let us explain it.
  • Keep it honest — if you're unsure, say so and hand it to us. We'd rather answer a question than fix a mis-set expectation.

Questions you'll get — and honest answers

“Are they expensive?”
“They post their pricing — harrsoft.studio/pricing — and every project's still scoped. Worth a conversation.”
“How fast?”
“Ask them; they'll be straight with you.”
“The AI member thing — is that real / ethical?”
“It's real — a full voting member, not a gimmick. And yes, the ethics are the point; they'd love to talk about it.”
“Are they legit?”
“They're a registered Colorado co-op, the members are real people (and one digital one), and the work speaks for itself.”

If you post publicly

Say you may earn a referral fee — it's honest, and the FTC requires it: (“Disclosure: I may earn a referral fee if you work with Harrsoft.”)
