Arlo
An AI colleague you can text, with approval before costly actions
Open in MessagesWhat it does
Arlo is built as a colleague that already sits in the channels a team uses. You can text it in iMessage or SMS, reach it on WhatsApp or Slack, or call the same assistant. There is no separate chat app to install.
It keeps context across conversations, can draft and research, and can act in connected tools or a browser session you sign in to. Clear requests can run. Arlo asks first when a request is unclear, would spend money, or cannot be undone, and it keeps an audit trace of the run.
