Are.na, worked by an AI employee

Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your Are.na account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What Are.na is

Are.na is a platform for collecting, organizing, and connecting ideas, images, links, and other creative research.

You paste in a key from your own Are.na account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Are.na whenever you like.

How a run works

One message in, the work done in Are.na.

  1. 01

    You ask

    You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.

  2. 02

    It works out the step

    It decides what the job needs in Are.na. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own Are.na account, inside the access you granted it, doing the thing you asked for.

  4. 04

    It reports back

    It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.

Access, and who is in charge of it

You stay the boss of your Are.na account.

Nothing connects until you approve it. You grant access one app at a time, you can take it back the same way, and everything your AI employee does in there is written down where you can see it.

Other apps in the same corner of the business

It works in Are.na and the rest of your software in the same job

A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.

No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in Are.na, your team carries on in the same screens they used yesterday, and your AI employee works alongside them in there.
How does it get into my Are.na account?
You paste in a key from your own Are.na account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Are.na whenever you like. You approve it before anything connects, and you can take the access back the same way you gave it.
What can it actually do in Are.na?

Can it use Are.na and the rest of my software in the same job?
