About Simplify AI

Simplify AI is the decision intelligence for independent operators.

30 million small businesses in the US pay for 5 to 10 disconnected tools — Booker, Square, QuickBooks, Instagram, Mailchimp — and have no way to see what's actually working across them. Enterprise BI skipped them. Vertical SaaS shows them one slice at a time.

We connect the tools they already pay for, and tell them what to do Monday morning.

This publication has two streams:

One Decision — published every Thursday. Decision intelligence for owners of independent businesses. Long-form one week, a quick signal the next. Stop guessing. Start deciding.

The 2 Percent — published the first Tuesday of each month. Notes from a female founder building in Silicon Valley. Women receive roughly 2% of venture capital. These are the lessons, the patterns, and the honest reflections from inside that statistic.

Both are free.

About the founder

Anne-Cécile Guillot Bellisario is the founder and CEO of Simplify Digital AI. She spent 23 years at Cisco across sales finance, strategic alliances, and channel strategy and operations, where she built the partner analytics platform that enabled data-driven decisions for global channel strategy.

She recognized she could apply her analytics and reporting acumen to help small business operators thrive in a tool-saturated era. Simplify is the systematized version of that work, built for the 30 million small businesses that never got a BI tool of their own — without needing an IT department or business analyst team.

Simplify Digital AI is a Delaware C-Corp incorporated January 2026. Yijie Wang is our CTO. We are in concierge MVP stage with live pilots running.
