Is Prio a secure alternative to OpenClaw?

Yes. Prio is a managed AI agent service with EU data residency, encrypted credential storage, approval gates on all actions, and rate limiting. Unlike OpenClaw (which has had 512 security vulnerabilities identified including remote code execution and plaintext credential storage), Prio was built with security as a first principle. There is no self-hosting, no exposed instances, and no supply chain risks from third-party skills.

Does Prio use my data to train AI models?

No. Prio never uses your conversations, emails, documents, or any other data to train AI models. Your data exists to serve you, not to improve the product at your expense. This applies to all tiers, free and paid.

Where is my data stored with Prio?

Your data is stored in European data centers, subject to GDPR protections. Prio is operated by a European data controller based in the Netherlands. Data is not transferred to non-EU jurisdictions for processing.

Can Prio send emails or create events without my approval?

No. Every action — sending emails, creating calendar events, managing tasks — requires your explicit approval through inline approve, edit, or reject buttons in the chat interface. The only exception is auto-archiving newsletters and marketing emails, which never includes invoices, bills, calendar invites, or business-critical messages.

How much does Prio cost compared to OpenClaw?

Prio starts at €29/month (Starter) with a Pro tier at €79/month for all features. Usage is rate-limited to 50 AI requests per hour with predictable pricing. Unlike OpenClaw where users have reported spending $300+ in two days due to uncapped API usage, Prio has built-in cost controls so there are no surprise bills.

Is Prio GDPR compliant?

Yes. Prio fully supports all GDPR requirements including right to access, right to erasure, data portability, lawful processing basis, and data processing agreements with sub-processors. The service is operated by a European data controller in the Netherlands.

What can Prio do as an AI personal agent?

Prio handles email triage and drafting, calendar scheduling with smart rules, task management with voice input, deep web research, workflow automation, contact management, voice note transcription, and daily briefings. It connects to Gmail, Google Calendar, and other business tools through a single chat interface.

Who is Prio built for?

Prio is built for solo founders, agency owners, and busy professionals who need an executive assistant but cannot justify hiring a full-time VA. It is especially relevant for European businesses that require GDPR-compliant AI tools, and for anyone concerned about AI agent security following the OpenClaw vulnerability disclosures.

ImprovedApr 7

NewApr 7

Proactive email draft replies

Prio classifies your unread emails overnight and drafts replies directly in your Gmail or Outlook drafts folder. Scheduling replies, acknowledgments, and simple follow-ups are handled while you sleep. Conservative by default — configure aggressiveness in settings.

NewApr 7

Personality presets: casual, executive, friendly

One-click personality modes for how Prio communicates. Casual mode: no em-dashes, contractions, light humor. Executive mode: ultra-brief, numbers-first. Friendly mode: warm and encouraging. Each preset auto-configures communication style, formality, and personality traits.

Inline approval cards for Attio and GitHub

Attio CRM and GitHub write operations now show inline approval cards in chat, matching the existing email and calendar approval flow.

ImprovedMar 26

Hallucination detection

The AI can no longer claim it completed an action without calling a tool. Server-side detection logs warnings when this happens. Core actions like drafting emails and scheduling events are always available regardless of message keywords.

FixMar 26

Attio CRM tools fully operational

Attio search, record details, create/update, notes, pipeline entries, and deal stage moves all work end-to-end. Fixed tool group routing and Attio API filter format. Test endpoint available at /api/integrations/attio/status?test=true.

Calendar events now execute after approval

FixMar 26

Timezone and date validation

Default timezone is now Europe/Amsterdam instead of the server timezone. The AI verifies day-of-week matches the date and uses timezone offsets in all event timestamps.
