Aleria is a sovereign AI platform for real business work. You bring your documents, data, and questions, and Aleria helps you finish the job. You chat with it the way you would talk to a capable colleague who already knows your files, your databases, and how to build the things you need.
Two things make Aleria different from a regular chat assistant:
- It runs inside your own boundary. Aleria is deployed either in Aleria Private Cloud or on your own premises (including fully offline, air-gapped setups). Your data never leaves that boundary, there are no external API calls, and your information is never used to train shared models. See Deployment and security.
- It delivers finished work, not just answers. Ask for a report and you get the report. Ask for a dashboard and you get a live dashboard. Ask for an internal tool and Aleria builds it and gives you a link.
There is no special mode to pick. You describe what you want, and Aleria figures out whether that means answering a question, writing a report, running a query, building an app, or starting a longer task that runs in the background.
There are no prompts to learn and no mode to choose. Describe what you want in plain language, and Aleria decides whether to answer, build, or run it in the background.
What Aleria is in sixty seconds
- One chat box is the front door to everything.
- It can read your files, query your connected systems, generate documents, build apps, and run long tasks on its own.
- Everything lives inside a workspace that your team shares.
- You do not need to learn prompts or switch between modes. Just ask.
The 10-minute tour
Do these six steps once and you will understand how the pieces fit together.
1. Open your workspace
When you sign in, you land in a workspace. Think of it as a shared folder for one team or one project. Your chats, files, and connected data all live inside it. If you are on a team, you probably share one. See Workspaces.
2. Say something in chat
Click the main text box and type what is on your mind. For example:
- "Summarize the most recent file I uploaded."
- "What is on my calendar this week?"
The reply comes back in seconds. See Chat basics.
3. Drop in a file
Drag any document, spreadsheet, image, or PDF into the chat and ask a question about it. Aleria reads the whole file, not just the first page.
4. Ask for a dashboard
Try: "Build me a one-page dashboard of our pipeline, grouped by owner, with a filter by quarter."
Aleria works through the steps in the chat, shows its progress, and hands you back a live page you can share as a link. See Boards.
5. Ask for an app
Go bigger: "Build me a small internal tool where our ops team can log incidents, tag them by severity, and see the weekly trend."
Aleria builds the app and deploys it to a temporary Aleria address such as yourteam.aleria.app/incidents. Copy the URL, send it to a colleague, or open it on your phone. No hosting account and no deploy step are needed. See Apps.
6. Let it run in the background
When a task is long, such as reviewing 200 contracts or ingesting a database, the chat promotes itself into a background agent. You can close the tab. Aleria notifies you when it is done. See Agents.
Core concepts
- Workspace: your team's home. Holds sources, files, chats, skills, agents, workflows, boards, and shared memory. See Workspaces.
- Sources: where your data lives. This can be a database you create inside Aleria, an external system you connect, or files you upload. See Connectors and Big Data Fusion.
- Chat: the main surface where you ask, upload, and get results. See Chat basics.
- Skills: specific capabilities, such as reading a database or applying your pricing rules. Describe your team's know-how in plain language and Aleria turns it into a reusable skill. See Skills.
- Agents: AI specialists built from instructions, skills, and sources, such as "Legal Reviewer" or "Ops Analyst." They do real work and keep a visible log of every step. See Agents.
- Workflows: repeatable, multi-step pipelines that run on demand or on a schedule, with a full audit trail. See Workflows.
A note on what you can see
Aleria is one product, but some features are turned on per plan or per workspace. For example, Boards is part of the Enterprise plan, and Apps and Tasks may need to be enabled by your administrator. If you do not see something described in these guides, check Plans and feature availability or ask your workspace admin.
