Elric is a business AI assistant for SMBs. Unlike a simple chatbot, Elric deploys a team of specialized AI agents (sales, HR, legal, finance, tech, marketing) that access 33 everyday tools and share a persistent company memory.

Is Elric different from meeting bots like Otter or Fireflies?

Yes. Meeting bots mostly stop at transcription. Elric also transcribes, but goes much further: it extracts tasks, delegates them automatically to the right AI agent, triggers follow-up emails, updates the CRM, and enriches its company memory. Meetings are only one trigger in a complete automation system.

Which tools does Elric integrate with?

33 tools: email (Gmail, Outlook), Slack, Notion, Google Drive, Google Calendar, HubSpot, Stripe, Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, and more. Each Elric agent can combine several tools to complete a task end to end.

Is Elric GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Elric is hosted in France on Supabase EU-West-1, all data stays within European territory, RLS is active on every table, and conversations plus memories can be purged on request.

What kind of company is Elric designed for?

Elric is optimized for SMBs (5 to 250 employees), professional firms (consulting, law, accounting), family offices, and small organizations that want to share support functions (admin, sales, HR) without hiring.

How is Elric different from ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot?

ChatGPT and Copilot answer questions but do not execute, are not visible working, and offer no governance. Elric executes the work, shows each agent at its desk in a virtual Open Space, logs every action, and requires human approval before sensitive actions (external emails, deletions). It is the governed alternative to ungoverned "Shadow AI".

Can Elric execute tasks autonomously?

Yes. You delegate a task to an agent and it runs on its own with its connected tools, then reports back; meeting action items can execute automatically. Sensitive actions (sending an external email, deleting data) always require explicit human validation.

Can a chatbot become an AI OS?

Not without orchestration, integrations, governance and persistent workflows. It is a distinct product layer.

Is Elric an AI OS or a chatbot?

An AI OS: Open Space multi-agents, Orbit DAG, 72 tools, Brain RAG, Recall meetings, crons, approvals.

Enterprise AI OS: definition and checklist for decision-makers

An Enterprise AI OS is not a chatbot. It is the execution layer orchestrating agents, memory, integrations and governance — so AI does the work, not just answers.

Definition

Most SMBs mix all three levels without naming them. The diagram below shows where each category stops — and why an Enterprise AI OS is a distinct product layer.

Three levels of AI tools

An Enterprise AI OS orchestrates agents, memory and integrations — it does not stop at answering in a chat.

AI chat: answers questions (ChatGPT, Claude).
App copilot: assists inside one app (Copilot Word, Cursor).
Enterprise AI OS: orchestrates multi-agent workflows that read, decide, act and are auditable — at workspace scale.

12-point checklist

Use this checklist in a vendor RFP or internal audit. Each point maps to a concrete capability — not marketing wording.

Enterprise AI OS architecture

The 5 building blocks to move from conversational assistant to governed execution at workspace scale.

Multi-tenant isolation (RLS or equivalent)
Exportable audit log
Human approval before sensitive actions
Permissions-aware RAG
Multi-step workflows (DAG, not just chat)
Schedulable agents (crons)
Business OAuth integrations (CRM, email, drive…)
Operational supervision (no black box)
Predictable SMB pricing
Compliant hosting (EU/GDPR if Europe)
Time-to-value < 2 weeks
Data not used to train third-party models
