FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about what an AI coworker actually does, and how you stay in control.
What is Alfera, exactly?
Alfera is an AI employee for your business. It connects to the tools you already use, understands a plain-English request, and does the whole job — then hands you the finished result. It is not a chatbot that gives advice; it does the work.
How is it different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT writes you a draft and a to-do list. Alfera reads your real data, takes the action across your tools, and reports back with the finished output. It closes the loop instead of handing it back to you.
Do I need to be technical to use it?
No. If you can describe the job to a new employee, you can assign it to Alfera. There is no code, no workflow builder, and no IT project.
What tools does it connect to?
Email and calendar (Gmail, Outlook), messaging (Slack), CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce), accounting and payments (QuickBooks, Stripe, Square), spreadsheets, scheduling, your store, and thousands more. When an app has no connection, it can use a controlled browser.
Will it send things to my customers without asking?
Only if you let it. Anything customer-facing or sensitive waits for your one-tap approval by default. You decide what runs automatically and what needs a review.
How do I know what it actually did?
Every run ends with a plain-English summary: what it read, what it changed, what it sent, and what it skipped. You can inspect each action and its sources.
Is my business data secure?
Connections use secure sign-in and are scoped to only what a task needs. Credentials are encrypted, access is owner-controlled, and you can disconnect any tool at any time.
Can it make mistakes?
Yes, like any worker. That is exactly why approvals, summaries, and a full audit trail are built in — so mistakes are caught before they reach a customer and are easy to reverse.
What happens if it cannot do something?
It tells you plainly, explains what it needs, and asks for a decision instead of guessing. It will not silently produce wrong work.
How long does setup take?
A few minutes. Connect your first tool, assign one real job, and review the result. Most owners see something useful on day one.
How much does it cost?
You can start free with no credit card. Paid plans start at $50/month when Alfera is handling recurring work, and you can cancel anytime.
Can my team use it too?
Yes. On team plans, everyone can assign work, and you get shared run history and seat-level controls.
What should I have it do first?
Pick the repetitive job that is slipping right now: chasing quotes, triaging the inbox, sending invoice reminders, or building a weekly report. Start there and expand.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There is no annual contract required. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel whenever you like.
