Alfera

Alfera is an AI coworker that operates across the tools a company already runs on, aimed at founders and operators who want to hand off recurring work in sales, support, finance, marketing, and operations rather than stitch together single-purpose agents. This launch broadens the pitch from a sales pipeline assistant to a general-purpose worker that connects knowledge sources like Google Drive, Confluence, and Gmail into what the company calls a "company brain," then acts on that context inside the apps a team already uses. The product runs in Slack, email, WhatsApp, web chat, and via API and MCP , and can be given its own inbox to receive forwarded jobs. Typical uses shown in the launch video include triaging inbound support tickets against a saved returns policy, sending morning business reports with follow-ups, turning a Slack thread into a spreadsheet, prospecting lookalike accounts from a top-customer list and logging them into HubSpot, and managing Google and Meta ad campaigns from prompts. Sensitive actions like refunds are gated behind human approval, and the app exposes per-integration permissions with an audit log of every read and every action . Users are also not tied to one provider and can pick any supported model or bring their own API key. Alfera is built by Oliviero Pinotti, based in San Francisco , who has been posting iterations of the product publicly for months, including earlier "AI Workers" concepts that ran 24/7 in their own cloud computers. This launch consolidates those threads into a single coworker aimed at replacing the next hire a small team was about to make.
