# ara > Ara is an AI employee, not a chatbot. It has its own computer, works inside the tools you connect, and comes back with the finished file. Nothing leaves the company until a person approves it. The AI employee that works where your team already talks Answers in Slack, KakaoTalk, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, SMS, Google Chat, Discord, the dashboard, and over the API. Sample data: Invented account, invented figures. The steps are what a real run does. No figure on this site is a customer's. ## What it does One hire, eight kinds of work. Say it the way you would to the teammate next to you. Ara plans, pulls what it needs from the tools you connected, and comes back with the file. ### Researcher Ask: @Ara find out what the company we meet on Thursday actually does What comes back: A one-page brief, sources linked ### Data analyst Ask: @Ara compare this quarter's revenue with the same quarter last year What comes back: A spreadsheet and a chart ### Document writer Ask: @Ara fill the weekly report template with this and give me a doc What comes back: A doc and a PDF, ready to send ### Content designer Ask: @Ara turn this update into a five-card carousel What comes back: Five image cards, copy and design in one pass ### Sales assistant Ask: @Ara find every deal that's gone quiet and draft a follow-up for each What comes back: The list with reasons, and drafts that wait for your approval ### Operations runner Ask: @Ara post the weekly report here every Monday at 9 What comes back: A standing job that posts itself ### Monitoring specialist Ask: @Ara tell me when a competitor changes its pricing What comes back: A message the moment it changes ### Engineering sidekick Ask: @Ara check whether errors went up after yesterday's deploy What comes back: A chart and a verdict ## Why an employee and not a chatbot A chat assistant answers. An employee owns the outcome. The difference is not the model. It is these six things. ### Its own computer, or yours An isolated cloud sandbox per workspace, or a PC you set aside for it in your own office. Ara writes and runs code there instead of waiting for a tool to exist, and on your own PC it works through the accounts already signed in to that machine. ### Memory that compounds Skills, how a job is done, and facts, what is true about your company, live as plain files you can read, edit and revert. The company brain keeps them in order: grouped by who each one is about, look-alikes side by side, and anything new held until a person says it is right. ### Shows up on schedule Say it once. "Every Monday at 9, post the weekly report" becomes a standing job that survives restarts and posts where it was asked. Connect a CRM and Ara arms a morning watch of its own, which stays quiet on a day that turns up nothing. ### Asks before anything leaves Every connected app is a list of switches on your own account. Put an app under review and every change in it is previewed and waits for a person. ### A receipt on every run What it read, what it did, how long it took, what it cost, and what it learned. Failures are kept too, so the log doubles as an audit trail. ### Wherever your team talks Whatever messenger your team is already in, plus the dashboard and an API call. The same runs, the same memory and the same approvals behind every one. ## What it connects to, and what it may do Ara works in the CRM, mailbox, calendar and docs you already use. Every app is a list of tool switches on your own account. A tool you switch off can't be used by anyone, for any reason. Apps connect through Composio. You switch each one on yourself. - It uses only the tools you leave switched on, app by app - Put any app under a person's review, or block it outright - Your data never trains a model ## Security Six guarantees, in plain words. Every one is visible in the run log. ### Every tool is a switch you hold A connected app lists every tool it offers, each with a switch, in your own account. Nothing a run does can turn one back on. If there is a tool you never want used, such as a send, a delete or a refund, switch it off. It stays off whatever anyone later configures. ### Review any app, when you want it The control is the switch: each person connects their own account and decides, tool by tool, what Ara may do with it. Nothing outside that ever runs. On top of that, a workspace admin can put any app under review, so every change in it is previewed and waits for a member's approval, or block an app outright. Review is opt-in, so approval queues stay short enough to be read. Every action is written to the run record either way. ### Works in its own sandbox One isolated machine per workspace, no shared filesystem, outbound hosts pinned to an allowlist. Nothing the model asks for runs on our servers. ### Never sees your keys Tokens are encrypted at rest and stay on the API host. The sandbox holds a short-lived, run-scoped credential and nothing else. ### Treats the web as data, not orders Pages, files, tickets and emails cannot give it instructions: their content is data to report, never a request to act on. A run started by an inbound event is told so explicitly, and told to draft rather than act when the payload seems to ask for something outward-facing. ### Your data is never training data Customer data is used only to fulfil that request. It is not used to train AI models, ours or anyone's. ### Where it can be wrong Like any model, Ara can be wrong. That is why work comes back with the steps it took and a file you can check, why every run is on record, and why you decide tool by tool what it can reach at all. ## Pricing No setup fee, no minimum term, no per-seat charge. Start free without a card, connect your CRM, and decide after a week of using it. Every new account starts with 20 runs' worth of credits, with no card. ### Ara Basic $199/mo, 290,000원/mo.

Nobody logs into that screen by hand again. ## Questions and answers ### What is an AI employee? We already use ChatGPT. A chat assistant answers. An AI employee takes on the work and finishes it, connected to your company's tools. Moving a chat answer into a spreadsheet, posting it to Slack and doing it again next Monday is still a person's job. Ara does that whole chain, and the next run starts from what the last one learned. ### What can it actually do? Research with sources, analysis with a chart, documents and PDFs, images for a post, drafts of emails and quotes, a standing job that runs on a schedule, and a watch that tells you when something changes. It works in the apps you connect and writes code in its own sandbox for everything else. ### What does it connect to? The messenger your team already talks in for the conversation, then whatever your team already uses for the work: HubSpot, Salesforce, Gmail, Google Calendar, Drive, Notion, Sheets, GitHub, Linear and 1,400+ more through Composio. Each person connects their own accounts and decides, tool by tool, what Ara may do with them. ### How long does setup take? Minutes. Four steps: where your team talks, your email, your company's website, and the first connection. Ara reads the website while you finish and writes a first report about your company. Nothing to install. ### Do we have to use Slack? No. Ara answers in Slack, in a KakaoTalk open chat or channel, and as its own bot on Telegram, Microsoft Teams, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, SMS, Google Chat and Discord. Where there is a bot nothing is installed and no address is copied: add Ara where you talk and send one code. KakaoTalk and Naver Works connect through a small relay instead. The setup screen offers the ones your workspace can use, and if you would rather not touch your chat at all, the dashboard does everything on its own. ### Can Ara work on our own PC? Yes. By default Ara works in an isolated cloud sandbox. A workspace can set a PC aside for it instead: install the Ara app on that PC, enter one pairing code, and runs happen there, through the work accounts signed in to that machine. Windows, macOS and Linux, with a windowless version for a server. It keeps itself up to date, comes back after a restart, and you can switch to the cloud sandbox again whenever you want. ### What can Ara see in Slack? The channels it has been invited to, the threads it is mentioned in, and its own direct messages. It never reads a private channel it is not in, and never anyone's personal messages. ### Will it do things without asking? Only what you switched on. Every connected app is a list of tool switches on your own account, and a tool you leave off can't be used by anyone. Put an app under review and every change in it is previewed and waits for a person. Sending, deleting and paying are the switches most teams leave off or under review. ### Is our company data safe? Each workspace runs in its own isolated sandbox. Tokens are encrypted at rest and never written to the sandbox. Every run is logged line by line. Your data is never used to train a model, ours or anyone's. ### Does it work in our language? Yes. Ara answers in the language your team writes in, and a workspace can set a working language so that unattended runs, approval cards and emails follow it too. The dashboard is in English and Korean. ### How does pricing work? Free to start, with credits for your first runs and no card. When your team needs more, the plans are on the pricing page. ### Can we leave, and take our data with us? Yes. Every file it made is yours to download from the dashboard, and deleting your account removes your workspaces and their history. ## For agents - REST: POST /api/v1/runs, then long-poll GET /api/v1/jobs/{id} (header x-api-key). - MCP (Streamable HTTP): /mcp with the same x-api-key — tools run_task, get_job, get_run, list_runs, list_skills, read_memory_file, list_artifacts. - OpenAPI: https://arator.rinda.ai/api/v1/docs ## Company - Name: Ara ## Links - Home: https://arator.rinda.ai - Pricing: https://arator.rinda.ai/pricing - Security: https://arator.rinda.ai/security - Get started: https://arator.rinda.ai/start - Contact: https://arator.rinda.ai/contact - Terms of Service: https://arator.rinda.ai/legal/terms - Privacy Policy: https://arator.rinda.ai/legal/privacy - Sitemap: https://arator.rinda.ai/sitemap.xml ## Publisher ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Organization", "name": "Ara", "url": "https://arator.rinda.ai", "logo": "https://arator.rinda.ai/logo/logo.png" } ```
