About Arlo

Why we built it

Most AI assistants live behind a tab you have to remember to open. That is the whole problem. The work that actually piles up — the reply you owe, the call you did not make, the follow-up that slipped — happens in your messages, not in a chat window you visit when you remember to.

So Arlo starts from the other end. It lives where the conversation already is, keeps the context, and does the follow-through. You text it the way you would text a colleague, and it comes back with the thing done — or with a draft waiting for your yes.

What Arlo actually does

• Works where you talk — one colleague across iMessage and SMS, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and live phone calls.
• Remembers — persistent memory across conversations and channels, so you are not re-explaining your business every morning.
• Acts in your tools — Gmail, Slack, Notion, Linear, GitHub and 3,000+ others, including tools with no API, through a secure browser session.
• Asks first — an approval gate before anything sends externally or writes to a connected tool.
• Shows its work — a full audit trace of every run: what was called, what came back, what changed.

The position we take

Plenty of tools will let an agent act on your behalf with no seatbelt. We think that is the wrong trade for work that touches customers, money, or your reputation. Arlo is built so the useful thing and the safe thing are the same thing: it drafts freely, researches freely, and reads freely — and then it stops and asks before the send. Governance is the default here, not a toggle in an enterprise tier.

The category we are building in is what we call an AI colleague — closer to a teammate with memory and judgment than to a chatbot or a brittle automation. If you want the longer argument, the guides lay it out, including honest comparisons with the other assistants in this space.

Arlo the AI colleague, not Arlo the cameras

The name is crowded, so to be direct: this Arlo is an AI assistant company at arlo.sh. We are not affiliated with Arlo Technologies, the home-security camera brand, and not with the other products that share the name. If you arrived here looking for a camera or a doorbell, you want a different site.

Pricing and getting started

There is a free tier, and paid plans scale with how much you actually use. The current numbers live on the pricing page so they never go stale in a blog post. The fastest way to understand Arlo is to text it — you can be running in a couple of minutes without installing anything.

Frequently asked questions

What is Arlo? Arlo is an AI colleague for work. You reach it by text in iMessage or SMS, in Slack, in Microsoft Teams, or on a phone call. It answers questions, drafts and triages, schedules, researches, and acts in your connected tools — asking for approval before anything sends or writes.

Is this the same Arlo as the security cameras? No. Arlo at arlo.sh is an independent AI assistant company and has no affiliation with Arlo Technologies, the home-security camera manufacturer, or with any other company using the Arlo name.

Who is Arlo for? Teams and the people who run them — founders, operators, sales and support leads, recruiters, and consultants who spend their day in messages and want the follow-through handled without losing control of what gets sent.

How does Arlo handle permissions and safety? Governance is the default, not a setting. Anything that sends externally or writes to a connected tool waits for an explicit approval, and every run keeps a full audit trace of what was called, what came back, and what changed.
