# Ariso

> Ariso builds Ari, the AI management system for teams — the way to unlock your superteam and move your whole company faster, together. Assistants execute; Ariso manages. Ari is your AI managing partner — it runs your projects, follow-ups, and priorities like a chief of staff who never sleeps, so you spend your day leading, not chasing. It works natively in Slack and Google Workspace.

## About

Ariso is an AI company building Ari, the AI management system for modern teams. Generic assistants execute one-off tasks; Ari manages the whole stack of work — connecting strategy to projects to people, with the real signals flowing back up — so the whole company moves in the same direction without status theater. It's grounded in the real flow of work (meetings, chats, email, docs, tickets), not another form to fill in. Unlike generic AI tools, Ari knows your company, your voice, your priorities, and your people.

## One System, Every Layer

Ari connects the whole stack — from company strategy down to your day-to-day, with the real signals flowing back up:

- **Strategy & Programs (the company)**: OKRs and north-star metrics cascade to every team and project. Ari watches the gap between plan and work and flags drift before it costs a quarter.
- **Project management (your teams)**: Status, risks, and follow-through kept current automatically — assembled from the actual work (meetings, threads, tickets, docs), not status meetings.
- **People management (your teams)**: 1:1s, feedback, and reviews grounded in real work, not memory. Feedback flows continuously; reviews write themselves from a year of evidence.
- **Tasks (you, every day)**: Action items captured from every meeting, email, and chat, then chased automatically — or delegated to agents, skills, and workflows.
- **Knowledge (you, every day)**: Ask anything across meetings, docs, threads, and email in plain language. Decisions and the why behind them are preserved.
- **Relationships (you, every day)**: A living profile of everyone you work with — how they work, what they value, your history.

Built on the real flow of work and 150+ integrations — Slack, Google Workspace, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Notion, Jira, Asana, GitHub, Salesforce, HubSpot, and more.

## Products

Ari has five core products:

- **Meetings**: From prep to follow-through — meetings become momentum. Ari joins your calls, captures decisions and action items, preps you before, and handles follow-up after. Replaces Otter/Fireflies/Granola.
- **Coaching**: A coach in your corner, 24/7. Ari builds self-awareness through your actual work—daily reflections, proactive coaching moments, and on-demand sessions. Replaces BetterUp/CoachHub.
- **Assistant**: Like having a chief of staff. Drafts emails in your voice, searches across all your tools, automates repetitive work, and manages your calendar. Replaces ChatGPT for Work, Glean, Zapier.
- **People**: Know your people. Lead your team. Team hub, pulse, alignment, and performance — one view for everything about your people. Goals cascade down, insights aggregate up — automatically. Replaces Lattice, Culture Amp, 15Five.
- **Rewards**: Earn points for using Ari—coaching sessions, kudos, reflections, check-ins. Redeem for gift cards from Amazon, Starbucks, Uber, and more.

## What Ari Replaces

Ari combines 10+ products into one: ChatGPT for Work, Claude for Work, Glean, Guru, Reclaim.ai, Zapier, Granola, Otter, Fireflies, Kudos, BetterUp, CultureAmp, Lattice — and more.

## Open-Source Products

Alongside Ari, Ariso ships two free, open-source tools that run locally with your own keys:

- **Oats** (https://ariso.ai/oats): Free, open-source meeting notes for macOS. Records and transcribes directly on your Mac — no bot ever joins your call. After each meeting it writes a structured summary, pulls out action items per person, and scores the meeting, all from what was actually said. Runs fully on-device with a local AI model (zero data leaves your device), or connect an Ariso account for richer cloud AI. Every meeting lands in a searchable library you can question across your whole history. Works with Zoom, Meet, Teams, phone calls, or any audio your Mac can hear. Every line is public on GitHub — read it, fork it, self-host it. The open alternative to Granola/Otter/Fireflies.
- **Ivan** (https://ariso.ai/ivan): Open-source AI engineering teammate that ships pull requests. Give Ivan a sentence and it breaks the request into PR-sized tasks, branches, writes the code on top of Claude Code, reviews its own work with a principal-engineer architect persona, opens the PR, and handles review comments and failing CI too. It builds institutional memory — distilling review comments from merged PRs and your Claude Code sessions into reusable engineering lessons stored as JSONL in your repo, with semantic retrieval that runs locally. Runs on your terms, locally, with your own credentials (Anthropic API or a Claude Max subscription via the CLI driver).

## OpenClaw for Teams

Ari is the best OpenClaw for teams. OpenClaw is a powerful open-source AI agent for individuals — but it requires self-hosting, has no governance framework, and has known security vulnerabilities. Ari delivers the same agentic power — an AI that takes action, not just answers questions — but purpose-built for the workplace: secure, private, enterprise-ready, and designed for teams. No setup, no self-hosting, no security risks. Just a partner who's got your back.

## Key Differentiators

1. **Manages, doesn't just execute**: Assistants answer questions and run one-off tasks. Ari owns the work — projects, follow-ups, and priorities end to end — connects strategy to projects to people, and keeps it all current on its own. A management system, not a chatbot.
2. **Knows you, your colleagues, your company**: Ari builds a living model of how you work, how your colleagues communicate, and what your company cares about. This is the foundation everything else is built on — and no notetaker or calendar tool has it.
3. **Sees your entire work surface**: Granola sees your meetings. Reclaim sees your calendar. Neither sees both — and neither sees your emails, Slack conversations, documents, CRM, tickets, or code. Ari connects all of it: meetings, calendar, email, Slack, Drive, GitHub, HubSpot, Jira, Asana, and more. That's why its reflections are meaningful and its actions are grounded in reality.
4. **Agentic AI that takes action**: Ari doesn't just capture and report — it acts. Drafts follow-up emails, creates Jira tickets, updates your CRM, schedules the next meeting. No notetaker or calendar tool comes close.
5. **Coaching built-in**: Every employee gets a private AI coach grounded in their actual work — meetings, commitments, patterns. Not generic advice. No other meeting tool does this.
6. **Facilitates interpersonal alignment**: Feedback is reframed for how the recipient actually receives it. Meeting prep includes who you're meeting and how they work. Ari surfaces misalignment before it becomes conflict. No other workplace AI does this.
7. **Chief of Staff**: Drafts content, does research, manages your calendar, writes reports. A full work OS, not a point tool.
