# Prio - AI personal agent for founders

> Prio is an AI personal agent that manages email, calendar, and tasks through a single chat interface. Built for solo founders, agency owners, and busy professionals in Europe. EU hosted, GDPR compliant, no AI training on user data. Pricing starts at EUR 79/month.

## What Prio does

Prio handles the daily admin work that costs founders 4+ hours every day. Users connect their Gmail and Google Calendar, then manage everything through natural language chat. The AI triages email, drafts responses, schedules meetings, manages tasks, and delivers daily morning briefings. Every action requires explicit user approval before execution — nothing sends, schedules, or changes without the user clicking approve.

### Core capabilities

- Email triage and management (read, draft, send, archive with approval gates)
- Calendar scheduling with smart rules, conflict resolution, and travel buffers
- Task management with recurrence, voice input, and smart reminders
- Voice notes with AI transcription and automatic task extraction
- Daily morning briefings (calendar, tasks, priority emails)
- Contact management with auto-creation from email and calendar
- Workflow automation with triggers and conditions
- Moneybird integration for Dutch business accounting

### Security and privacy

- All data hosted in EU data centers (Netherlands)
- GDPR compliant with data processing agreements
- No user data used for AI model training — guaranteed by contract
- End-to-end encryption in transit and at rest
- Voice transcription by Mistral (European AI company)
- Full data sovereignty: export or delete anytime
- Approval gates on every action

### Who it's for

- Solo founders who need help but can't justify a full-time VA
- Agency owners managing multiple client relationships
- European businesses requiring GDPR-compliant AI tools
- Busy professionals who want inbox zero without the effort

## FAQ

Q: How does Prio handle my emails?
A: Prio connects to your Gmail via OAuth. It reads incoming emails, categorizes them by urgency, drafts responses in your tone, and archives noise like newsletters. Nothing sends without your explicit approval.

Q: Is my data safe?
A: Yes. All data is hosted in EU data centers, encrypted in transit and at rest. We never use your data to train AI models. We're GDPR compliant and working toward SOC 2 certification.

Q: What integrations do you support?
A: Gmail, Google Calendar, and Moneybird today. Slack, Notion, Linear, and more are on our roadmap. We also support MCP — the open protocol — so any compatible tool works with Prio.

Q: Can I try before I pay?
A: Yes. Join the waitlist for early access. We offer a 14-day free trial on all plans, no credit card required.

Q: How is this different from ChatGPT?
A: ChatGPT is general-purpose. Prio is purpose-built for founders — it connects to your actual email, calendar, and tools, takes real actions on your behalf, and learns your preferences over time.

Q: Do you support languages other than English?
A: Yes. Prio works in English and Dutch, with more languages planned.
