ChatGPT writes you a draft and a to-do list. Alfera reads your real data, takes the action, and reports back with the finished work.
Start with one recurring job that already slips. Good examples include inbox triage, invoice follow-up, CRM cleanup, and weekly reporting.
No. Connect a tool through its normal sign-in, then describe the job in a sentence. Your team does not need a workflow builder.
You can start after connecting one tool. A larger setup takes longer when Alfera must read more company material or needs tighter permissions.
