Common questions

Who is alfred_ designed for?

alfred_ is designed for professionals who need leverage: consultants, founders, freelancers, and anyone whose time is too valuable to spend on email coordination. If you're drowning in email and can't justify hiring an executive assistant, alfred_ handles that work for $29.99/month.

alfred_ offers a trial period when you sign up. Check the pricing page for current trial length and subscription options. You can cancel anytime through the billing portal in your account settings.

Email & Triage

alfred_ triages your inbox automatically, reading every message, classifying by urgency and importance, drafting replies, and archiving noise. You see the 10–15 emails that need your brain, not the 100+ that don't. Every draft is based on your communication style and the full thread context. Noise like newsletters, notifications, and low-priority updates gets archived so your inbox stays clean.

    Emails arrive

    alfred_ reads and classifies every new message by urgency, sender importance, and action required.

  2. 2

    Noise is archived

    Newsletters, notifications, and low-priority messages are archived automatically.

    Replies are drafted

    For messages that need a response, alfred_ drafts a reply based on your communication style.

  4. 4

    Decisions surface in your Brief

    Everything that needs your judgment appears in your Daily Brief, ready for one-tap action.

Note

Every draft waits for your approval before it goes out. The only mail alfred_ sends on its own comes from automations you set up, such as a forwarding rule or a scheduled send.

Common questions

How does alfred_ prioritize emails?

alfred_ scores every email based on: urgency keywords, action-required language, sender importance (VIP status, executive titles), follow-up count from the same sender, and email age. Revenue-critical messages and follow-ups get escalated. Newsletters and noise get archived.

How does alfred_ track follow-ups?

alfred_ monitors every thread for response status. When someone follows up, alfred_ flags it with increasing urgency: first follow-up, second follow-up, third-plus. You see exactly which threads are waiting on you before they become problems.

How does alfred_ draft replies?

alfred_ drafts responses automatically based on email content and your communication patterns. Drafts appear ready for you to review, edit, and send with one tap. A draft never sends itself. You stay in control of your voice.

Can alfred_ send emails automatically?

Drafts always wait for you. Automations you create can send on their own: forwarding rules, scheduled sends, and workflows you set to run automatically. You create them, and you can review, pause, or delete any of them in Settings.

Calendar

alfred_ analyzes your schedule automatically, calculating meeting load, identifying conflicts, and scoring each day's "health" based on focus time vs. meeting time. It helps you understand where your time actually goes. Short gaps between meetings are flagged as unproductive context-switching windows, so your Daily Brief shows actual available focus time, not just empty calendar slots.

Common questions

How does alfred_ calculate focus time?

alfred_ identifies gaps between meetings and calculates realistic focus time: short gaps between meetings don't count because context-switching makes them unproductive. Your Daily Brief shows actual available focus time, not just "free" calendar slots.

Can alfred_ schedule meetings for me?

alfred_ analyzes your availability and suggests optimal meeting times. Creating calendar events or sending scheduling emails from chat is confirmed with you first. By default alfred_ also handles routine calendar responses for you, such as accepting an invite that fits; you can switch to suggest-only mode in Settings at any time.

Daily Brief & Tasks

The Daily Brief is what alfred_ prepares for you when you open the app each morning. It contains emails that need your judgment, draft replies ready to send, tasks due today, your calendar, and patterns alfred_ has noticed. It's designed for quick action: review, approve, move on. You can also receive a 7am SMS with your calendar and tasks for the day (enable in Settings).

  1. 1

    Open alfred_

    Your Daily Brief generates automatically when you open the app each morning.

  2. 2

    Review what matters

    Triaged emails, draft replies, tasks due today, and calendar insights, all in one view.

  3. 3

    Take action

    Send drafts with one tap, dismiss or snooze tasks, and review calendar conflicts.

Tip

alfred_ scans every email for action items: commitments, deadlines, and requests. Tasks are created and linked to the source email automatically. No manual entry required.

Common questions

What if alfred_ extracts something that isn't a real task?

Dismiss any extracted task with one click. You stay in control of what makes it onto your list.

How does alfred_ track overdue tasks?

alfred_ monitors how long tasks stay on your list. Tasks older than 7 days are flagged as "stale." Tasks overdue by 3+ days are marked "critical" and escalated in your Daily Brief so nothing slips through the cracks.

Can I create tasks manually?

Yes. Create tasks directly in the todo widget. Manual tasks work exactly like auto-extracted ones: they appear in your dashboard, can have due dates, and are tracked for procrastination patterns.

Are tasks linked to emails and meetings?

Yes. Tasks extracted from emails link back to the source email. Tasks can also link to calendar events and notes: full context, one view.

How does alfred_ generate the intelligence briefing?

alfred_ synthesizes information from your email, calendar, and tasks into natural language summaries. The briefing highlights what needs your attention, flags concerns, and suggests priorities, so you focus on decisions, not data processing.

Privacy & Security

Your data security is non-negotiable. alfred_ uses OAuth (never passwords), encrypts everything in transit and at rest, and never uses your data to train AI models. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time. We use Supabase with row-level security so you can only access your own data. All email content sent to AI services is for inference only, never for training.

Note

alfred_ authenticates through Google and Microsoft OAuth. We never see, store, or have access to your email password.

Common questions

What data does alfred_ access?

When you connect accounts, we access: email subjects, bodies, and metadata; calendar events including titles, times, and attendees; contacts for autocomplete; and cloud files in Google Drive or OneDrive when you use file features. We store OAuth tokens (not passwords), tasks, notes, and your preferences. See our Privacy Policy for complete details.

Is my email content sent to AI services?

Yes. To generate draft responses and analyze content, we send email data to third-party AI services. This is necessary for AI features to work. We do not use your data to train AI models.

What analytics do you collect?

We use PostHog for product analytics (page views, feature usage, session data). We also track AI token consumption internally to manage costs. See our Privacy Policy for the complete list.

Can I delete my data?

Yes. You can delete your account from Settings, After a 14-day grace period, during which you can cancel, your data is permanently deleted. You can also disconnect email/calendar accounts at any time, which deletes that account's credentials immediately and stops all access to it. To export your data, use the Export Data option in Settings, or contact connor@get-alfred.ai.

Is my data encrypted?

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest in our database (Supabase). OAuth tokens are stored securely. Our database uses row-level security so you can only access your own data.
