Why people use it.
Most AI chats start from nothing, so you keep explaining your business to them. Alacrán keeps what your AI needs to know in one place, and keeps you in charge of what it changes.
Stop hunting for the fact that changed.
Your facts, decisions and notes live together in one company folder. You can see what your AI always knows, and what it is unsure about.
Stop wondering what your AI changed.
Every change your AI proposes comes back as a before-and-after for you to approve, send back with feedback, or discard. Nothing is saved until you say yes.
Know what needs you. Give AI the work it can help with.
See what needs your attention.
Bring recent changes, pending work, and department activity into one briefing. Check what is current and what needs a refresh.
Give AI your business context.
Keep business facts, working notes, and past decisions together so your connected AI can use them in the next task.
Build a routine for recurring work.
Use built-in skills and recurring jobs for summaries, department updates, research, and reviews. See what is running and what is ready.
Review changes before keeping them.
Inspect proposed file changes from managed workflows, request revisions, and approve the work you want to save.
Four ordinary situations, and what Alacrán does with each.
Each one starts with a problem you will recognise, shows what you ask, shows what you get, and says how you stay in control. They use only what the app does today.
Monday morning, and you cannot tell what needs you.
Example · illustrative scenario, not a customer result
The situation You open your laptop and cannot tell what moved while you were away, or what is waiting on you.
You ask What needs my attention this week, and what is waiting for my approval?
You get Home shows what needs you today, which agents are working, and what Alacrán knows about your company. Ask for a weekly summary and it is written from your own notes.
You stay in control The summary arrives in Approvals as a draft to read. Nothing is saved until you approve it.
A customer writes back and you do not want to start over.
Example · illustrative scenario, not a customer result
The situation The owner of Northstar Café answers your quote with a question about delivery. You want a reply that matches what you actually offer, without pasting your whole business into a chat.
You ask Draft a follow-up to Northstar Café using our service description and their last question. Do not promise a date.
You get A draft written from your saved company profile and notes, with the change laid out for you to read.
You stay in control You can approve it, choose Ask for changes, or choose Discard. Approving saves the draft to your company records and history. It does not send anything, so you send it yourself from your usual account.
Your AI keeps using a fact that is no longer true.
Example · illustrative scenario, not a customer result
The situation You changed what you charge in a meeting last week, but your AI is still working from the old price.
You do Press “Save what we learned” at the end of a session with your AI, once you have settled something new.
You get Proposed changes to your company facts, each marked with where it came from. Alacrán also shows which parts of your company profile look out of date, and the Brain map shows what your AI always knows and what it is unsure about.
You stay in control You see which facts changed and where each one came from, and you approve them together with the note, or keep the note and drop the fact changes. Nothing is added to your company history until you approve.
You keep correcting the same thing.
Example · illustrative scenario, not a customer result
The situation Every draft comes back a little too formal, and you keep asking for the same change.
You do Press “Learn from my feedback” on Home. Alacrán offers it after you have asked for changes to the same kind of work three times.
You get Short preference lines that quote your own words, kept in a plain file you can read.
You stay in control You approve each line. Delete a line and it stops applying.

FAQ
What is Alacrán?
Alacrán is a local-first desktop workspace for managing business information and working with AI agents. It brings company knowledge, operational departments, repeatable workflows, and review tools into one app.
Who is it for?
Founders and business owners who want help organizing and progressing daily work. It also includes advanced tools for operators and developers managing agents, skills, and custom workflows.
Is it free?
The app is currently free to download and use. Your AI provider and connected services may charge separately.
Do I need to be technical?
The main workspace uses guided screens and business-focused tools. Some installation steps, provider connections, and advanced workflows may need technical setup. The setup guide explains the current requirements.
Does everything stay on my computer?
Company records are stored locally. Relevant information may be sent to connected AI, voice, and other services when you use them. Optional backups also transfer files to your chosen destination.
Does Alacrán send messages or publish posts automatically?
Not unless you set it up. Everything starts as a draft for your review. If you create an unattended job, it can send only a message you approved once, within the limits you set: how often, how many, and who never to contact. Change the message and sending stops until you approve it again. Approving a local draft does not itself mean it has been sent.
Can I use more than one business?
Yes. Each company has its own workspace and records. You can deliberately share eligible context through Company Strings.
Which computers are supported?
macOS and Debian or Ubuntu Linux. A Windows version is not currently offered.
What happens if I stop using Alacrán?
Your company files remain yours. Keep a backup and continue using the readable files in other tools.
