A brief history

The secretary is older than the office.

  1. 1500s

    Secretarius

    The keeper of secrets. One trusted person who held another's letters, confidences, and time.

  2. 1800s

    The private secretary

    Statesmen, industrialists, and writers ran their worlds through one person who knew everything and told almost nothing.

  3. 1930s

    The office age

    Shorthand, switchboards, dictation. The secretary became the operating system of every working office.

  4. 1980s

    The executive assistant

    Computers arrived, and the profession retreated upward: one assistant per executive. Everyone else queued.

  5. 2000s

    Software, everywhere

    Email, calendars, chat. The tools multiplied, and managing them became everyone's second job.

  6. Today

    The return

    AI makes the secretary affordable again. This time, one for everyone.

The problem

Work is a hundred tangled threads.

Questions wait on time zones. Context lives in one person's head. Commitments sink into the scrollback.

Capabilities

What your secretary does.

  1. 01

    Approved answers

    Ask your secretary instead of a coworker. It comes back with a summary that coworker approved. The source conversation stays private.

  2. 02

    Work prepared ahead

    Turn on proactive help to let your secretary prepare useful work from your direct chats. Finished summaries wait for the right person's approval before sharing.

  3. 03

    Instant catch-up

    After a week off, or on day one: ask what happened, what matters, and what's waiting on you.

  4. 04

    Commitment tracking

    Your secretary helps identify commitments, draft next steps, and track work. Task updates depend on the tools and permissions enabled for your account.

Access and privacy

Your secretary represents you.

It works from the messages, files, and records you are authorized to access, and it doesn't move information to a new audience on its own. It reaches someone new when you send it, approve a summary, or set a narrow sharing rule you control. Its answers depend on the conversations and connected records your account is allowed to use.

Where this comes from

Built from real operations.

We build the custom operational software that businesses in the UK and Indonesia run on day to day. Alora connects that same kind of operational record to the conversations where decisions happen.

Questions

How do I get access?

Alora is running an invite-only pilot. Contact us for an invitation, then sign in with the email address we invited. Proactive preparation is an optional setting in your Secretary preferences.

Do we have to replace Slack or Teams on day one?

No. Alora is its own messenger, and you can start with one project team and one workflow while the rest of the company keeps using what it has.

Can it read everyone's private messages?

No. Your secretary works only inside your own access. When an answer depends on someone else's messages, their secretary drafts a short answer and that person approves, edits, or declines it before you see anything.

Does every employee get their own secretary?

Yes. Each secretary belongs to one person and works inside that person's access, tools, and history. Two employees can ask the same question and get different answers, because their access differs.

What can it do besides answer questions?

It prepares drafts and can propose changes to tasks, reminders, CRM records, and notes when your role allows them. Email and calendar actions require the relevant connection and permissions. You review the proposed action before it runs.

Do we need Alora's custom software first?

No. Start with Alora messaging and your personal secretary. Other tools depend on your workspace setup, role, and connections.

A secretary used to be a privilege.
We want to make it a normal part of work.
