An AI-powered ERP experiment for SMBs that lived in production for 18 months. Sunset because its real value already lives in other ecosystem products.
SmartQube was born in 2024 as an ERP with AI agent orchestration and a graph data model, designed for Spanish SMBs that wanted enterprise capabilities without paying the multitenant SaaS toll. We shut it down in May 2026 after the market taught us one simple thing: SMBs don't buy new ERPs, but they do pay for their own structured data and for specific agents in the precise bottleneck of each sector. Those learnings don't get thrown away.
Representing customers, invoices, products as related nodes in Neo4j instead of isolated tables. The idea was that an AI agent could answer cross-domain questions without explicit SQL.
Today it lives in Dental Brain as a pipeline of patients, DICOM diagnoses and PubMed papers connected as a clinical knowledge graph.
See Dental BrainThe "your data doesn't leave the building" stance was cooked here first. SMBs didn't want their accounting, CRM and margins living in a multitenant SaaS where they're just another tenant.
Today it's the H1 of Quantum Howl and the guiding principle of the entire umbrella offering: on-premise infrastructure and agents for healthcare, industry and enterprise.
See Quantum HowlDuring SmartQube we saw that SMBs don't buy a new ERP, but they do value their own structured knowledge. And senior professionals with 20-30 years of experience hold an unmonetized asset: what they know how to do.
Today it's Sagelix, the marketplace where professionals turn their experience into datasets that AI companies buy for fine-tuning.
See SagelixSmartQube needed dedicated commercial operations (sales, support, SMB customer success) that cannibalized focus from vertical products with proven demand. Keeping an active landing page with no operation behind it sends contradictory signals. The domain is preserved. The code lives archived in our internal GitLab in case the learnings become useful again.
SmartQube's learnings live on in the current products. Get to know them.
