Chat
Ask a question, or hand over the whole job. Background work shows up as live progress you can cancel.
Every sticky note on your desk, handled.
AKAL is the AI colleague for every Aras employee. It reads, researches, writes and tracks work alongside you, on your own servers.
Click a sticky note, or drag one onto the AKAL window to hand it over.
AKAL workspace
Your work is scattered. AKAL puts it on one desk.
Inbox, shared drive, task tracker, whiteboard and a public AI chat. Every switch loses context. AKAL keeps all of it in one workspace that remembers.

Inside the Aras environment
Flip the switch. Watch where your work goes.
A public AI chat sends every question out of the building. AKAL is a colleague who works inside it, so your documents, your questions and the answers stay on Aras servers.

Thoth modelson Aras servers
I sit in here, next to you. I read the company files, think with the Thoth models, and hand you the answer. Nothing goes out the door.
AKAL drafts, you send
It reads and triages mail and drafts replies. Sending is always yours.
Done means reviewed
Only the assigned reviewer can close a task.
Knowledge with owners
Documents belong to teams. Every answer says where it came from.
Connected to the tools you already use
Each person connects their own accounts. Every connection unlocks more of AKAL, and nothing breaks if you skip one.

What the pilot teams say
“I dropped a 40-page tender into chat before lunch. By the time I was back, the obligations were on the board with owners.”
“We built the asset tracker in an afternoon and handed engineering a real codebase, not a slide.”
“My Monday report writes itself. I only hear from AKAL when something is blocked.”

Questions people ask first
Where does my data go?
Nowhere outside Aras. Your files, the AI models and the knowledge base all run on Aras servers.
Do I need to set anything up?
Log in with your Aras account. AI access is ready. Paste your Thoth key into chat once to unlock the knowledge base and task board.
Can AKAL send email for me?
No. It reads, triages and drafts replies. You send them from Outlook.
What happens to files AKAL makes?
Every document, report and app is saved in Documents, Research or Projects, not only in the chat.
Does it work without Microsoft 365?
Yes. Chat, research, documents and the task board work on their own. Connecting adds your calendar, to-dos and files.
Who can see my chats?
Your workspace is personal to your account. Team work lives on the shared board.
