Everything you do at work needs "managing": projects, tasks, priorities, customers, meetings, teams, strategy. You can't remember it all. Ari, your second brain that manages it all for you: it tracks things, stays current without constant updates, and tells you what matters. Less admin. More building. Free to start.
This is the 2nd launch from Ariso. View more
Ari by Ariso
Launching today
The greatest companies like Amazon and Uber have long used “bar raisers” to grow their talent—and now you can too. Ari helps you and your team maintain and grow a higher standard of execution by handling the work about work, tracking commitments, reporting progress, aligning communications and priorities, driving follow-through, and showing what’s working so you can double down. You and everyone gains more time and mental space for meaningful work, to tackle your most ambitious projects.

@erkang We also use Astra for smarter model routing! Right now when Ari detects that a task requires more thinking power she'll route it to Astra. We've seen significant improvements in speed and inference from astra over other frontier models.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Erkang, one of the people behind Ariso. We are building the AI bar raiser for your team, and the operating system that shapes the future of work. 🚀
We built Ari around something I learned slowly across engineering, consulting, leading teams, and now building a company:
The hardest thing about work isn’t the work.
It’s the work around it: keeping decisions from disappearing into a black box, surfacing risks early, staying clear on priorities, following through, and making sure the right people know what changed and what needs attention. As work gets more complex, that coordination layer becomes the work.
Amazon and Uber use "bar raisers" to help maintain and raise the standards across the company. Ari brings that to you, automated into the daily flow of work. It connects projects, meetings, follow-ups, priorities, contacts, strategy, management, reflections, and coaching, then helps your team run the loop:
Track what is happening, including commitments, decisions, tasks, and risks
Report what changed and what needs attention, without endless status chasing
Align people and priorities before work drifts
Measure follow-through and reflect on whether it worked
It's working nonstop behind the scenes. It's got your back.
Here's my personal experience with Ari:
It's not here to replace or to judge. It's here to give you more time and mental space for the work you are uniquely good at, while helping the team take on work that used to feel too costly to coordinate.
We’re early, building in public, and listening closely. Glad to have you here.
Oh btw, my team and I have built and defended the most sophisticated cybersecurity systems before, and we've built that into Ari. And we never use your data to train our model.
We'll be around all day. Ask us anything 🙏

@erkang and @chihan_tung walked me through Ari in the Ariso (short for Aristotle!) workspace and I was impressed.
There's a lot here to get chaotic teams aligned and rowing in the same direction.
The underlying premise is to delegate the work about work to robots — personal Ari-bots — so that the team can focus more on the creative, high-level, high-impact work.
Ari works on each layer of the stack empowering with the individual with a personal chief-of-staff.
Then there's a set of tools for managers with direct reports who need to oversee and coordinate others' work.
And those tools bubble up to org-wide visibility and shared context. It's quite profound once you dig in — and I recommend you do. It's free to start, and then just $1/day after that.

@erkang @chihan_tung @chrismessina Thanks Chris! So glad you liked it!
Ariso
@chrismessina Thank you for taking the time to dig into Ari and describe it so clearly. “Work about work” is exactly the problem we’re trying to take off people’s plates so teams can spend more energy on the work that requires judgment, creativity, and care. 🙂
The personal chief-of-staff layer matters to us, but so does the connective tissue between individuals, managers, and the wider organization. We’re still early, and we’re learning a lot from people who use Ari in the messiness of real work. Really appreciate the thoughtful walkthrough and recommendation!
Can you ask Ari about past decisions and get the context instantly?
Ariso
@indigo_carpiniello Yes! We track decisions made as a first party feature. Beyond decisions, we have built out our own best-in-class memory system for our agents using some novel techniques (we will release a paper on it eventually).
The memory system and profile system are the best I've seen in an agent.
Ariso
@indigo_carpiniello 100%, that’s one of the core ideas. You can ask Ari about past decisions and get the relevant context from meetings, docs, messages, and follow-ups, so you don’t have to dig through everything yourself.
Shawn here, founding engineer at Ariso.
Ari starts as a Slack app because so much of work already happens there: decisions, questions, commitments, feedback, and the small moments that shape how teams work together.
The challenge is that this context is easy to lose. Especially when switching context among tools. Important details get buried in conversations, meetings, documents, and follow-ups. As work becomes faster and more distributed, people are expected to remember and manage more than any one person reasonably can.
We’re building Ari to help bring that context together while treating trust as foundational. Our architecture uses tenant-isolated envelope encryption with HashiCorp Vault, helping protect each customer’s data boundary while supporting the performance needed for real-time work. Checkout how we built the encryption system with HashiCorp: High-performance envelope encryption at Ariso.ai with Vault.
I also believe the future of work will require humans to adapt in a deeper way. As technology takes on more of the operational load, people need to take greater responsibility for direction, judgment, relationships, and care. The goal is not to remove humans from the center of work, but to give them more capacity to lead well.
Ari helps bring that context together for both individual and teams, so people can spend less energy searching, remembering, and coordinating—and more energy leading, thinking, and supporting their teams, less hands on touching different tools, just ask Ari to do it.

Hey everyone, Max here. I’m the CTO and founding engineer at Ariso.
I joined @erkang in building Ariso because I’ve spent most of my career watching good teams lose time to invisible coordination work: hunting through Slack, reconstructing decisions, chasing updates, and trying to remember what someone committed to three meetings ago.
Ariso brings that context together across the tools you already use. Ari helps you prepare for meetings, capture decisions, track follow-ups, keep projects moving, surface what changed, and spot what’s slipping before it becomes a bigger problem.
The latest thing that we're super proud of is utilizing Astra to build out the new GPT-Live-1 API into a voice agent on top of Ari. Definitely check that one out! We're especially proud to have been featured in OpenAI's recent blog post about our coaching agent.
It’s built for the whole team, too. Managers get a clearer view of priorities and progress without needing another status meeting, while everyone gets an AI partner that remembers the context behind their work and helps them focus on what matters next.
We’re still early, so I’ll be around to answer technical questions and dig into anything that breaks. Thanks for checking us out!

@abod_rehman We have a meeting note taker that listens on your meetings, you can connect your google workspace using our custom made workspace MCP server for email, task and calendar analysis. We also support nearly 400 other integrations, so all of your data can go directly into Ariso! As for messaging channels, you can message Ari on slack (public channels, DMs and private channels), text her once confirming your number, message her on teams or just use our web chat (emailing the bot is coming soon!)
Ariso
@abod_rehman good to see you too!
Not just work with Slack. Ari gets context from meetings, documents, and other work collaboration tools, too. The idea is that decision-making and follow-up should be tied together no matter where the work takes place.
