How Shrubs works
Four steps. Most people have their first Shrub live inside an hour.
Build the room
A Shrub is the deal. A Branch is a section inside it: offering memorandum, financials, rent roll, floor plans, environmental, video walkthrough.
You decide the order, because order is argument. The buyer reads what you want read first, not whatever sorted to the top alphabetically.
Branches hold anything: PDFs, spreadsheets, images, video, audio, links, or a full embedded web page.
Set the rules
Permissions are per branch, not per room. A lender sees the financials and the appraisal. A prospective buyer sees the marketing package. A broker’s assistant sees neither.
Switch on watermarking and every file you upload from that point carries the viewer’s name and email, one setting, then it happens on its own. Switch on a waiver and nobody sees anything until they’ve signed the NDA, captured, timestamped, tied to a named person.
Turn watermarking on before you upload. It applies to new files, not retroactively to ones already in the room.
Share one link
One link, per person or per group. No zip files, no expiring transfers, no “can you resend that.”
It’s branded as yours. The buyer sees your name and your identity, not a file-hosting company’s.
Change a document and everyone has the current version instantly. Kill the deal and access dies with it.
Watch what happens
This is the part a folder link can’t do.
You see which person opened which section, how long they spent, what they skipped, how many times they came back, and where they stopped. Notifications hit in real time.
Which means your follow-up is a response to something, instead of a calendar reminder. Call the investor who reopened the model this morning, today, while it’s live.
Then do it again
Turn a finished room into a template. The next deal starts fully structured, correctly permissioned, already branded. Most people build the structure once and reuse it for years.
Tell your AI what you need.
It builds the shrub.
Shrubs works with the AI you already use. It knows every part of the platform, asks before it builds, and never publishes anything without your yes. Included on every plan, and on Pro it can build full multi-page websites inside your shrub.
Connect your AI once
Add Shrubs to ChatGPT, Claude or Grok and sign in. You choose which shrubs it can see and whether it can make changes.
Describe what you want
“Build a deal room for 2470 Bayview with the financials, renderings and a booking link.” Your AI asks a few questions, then shows you the plan.
Approve, and it builds
Branches, pictures, colours and lettering, done in your shrub while you watch. Change your mind? Say “undo that”.
