Your autonomous chief of staff

The chief of staff you could never hire.

Rafou doesn't wait for you to ask. Overnight it reads your inbox, calendar and meetings, decides what matters, and hands you the work already done: replies drafted, meetings prepped, calls summarised. You wake up to a 60-second brief on WhatsApp or email. Nothing sends without your yes.

For operating partners, founders, advisors and fractional execs who juggle too much and can't afford to drop a thing.
Works with Gmail Outlook Google Calendar Slack Drive WhatsApp + your call recorder
Same brief, your channel
It runs itself

No app to open.
No prompt to write.

Rafou lives on its own server and works on a schedule — before every meeting, after every call, every morning at 7:27. You don't run it. It runs for you.

The proactive part

It works while you sleep,
and comes to you before you ask.

A chatbot waits for you to type. Rafou doesn't. Overnight it pulls from every source, decides what matters, drafts what you owe, and lands a brief on your phone, before your first coffee.

1
It works while you sleep
Every source read, every thread tracked, every reply drafted, overnight, no prompt required.
2
It comes to you
One 60-second brief lands on WhatsApp or email at 7:27. You don't open another tab to find it.
3
It acts before you ask
It surfaces what's slipping and proposes what to take off your plate next. You nod; it's done.

How it works

Every source in. One engine.
Your day comes back handled.

You don't run Rafou. It runs for you. Inbox, calendar, calls and chats: connected once, then read every night, weighed against your priorities, and handed back as a single brief with the work already done.

A look inside

Your whole week, on two screens.

What needs you today — and which relationships are quietly going cold. Both kept current by Rafou, on its own.

It talks back

It comes to you. And you can reach it, anywhere.

Rafou isn't a one-way feed. Reply to the brief, ask it something, or hand it a task — on WhatsApp, in Slack, by email, or right inside Claude on your phone. Same context, same chief of staff, wherever you already work.

WhatsApp

Rafou has its own number. Text it like you'd text an assistant — it answers with your full context.

Slack

DM Rafou in your workspace. It reads the channels that matter and replies in the flow of work.

Email

Your brief and every draft land in your inbox. Reply to it and Rafou picks the thread back up.

Inside Claude

Add Rafou to Claude on desktop or mobile. Your whole context, one tap away, anywhere you are.

There's a real model of your world underneath

It holds your whole world.
And never reloads from zero.

Rafou maps your world into a living graph: a hub per company, client, deal and person, all cross-linked. It never reloads from zero, it sees the connections you'd miss, and it gets sharper every week.

A hub per entity. Every company, deal, client and person becomes a node, with its own dated history of how things actually moved.
Cross-linked relationships. It knows this LP backs that fund, that this board member also sits at a co-investor, so it sees the connection you'd miss.
It gets sharper every week. Every email, call and meeting updates the graph live, so context compounds instead of resetting.

Use cases in action

Just ask. Or let it move first.

On demand when you need it, a step ahead when you're not looking. The star is the right column: the part no chatbot does.

You ask
Rafou, summarise my last 3 calls and draft the follow-ups.
Rafou, who that matters am I leaving on read?
Rafou, prep me for my 4pm: who's in the room, what do they want?
Rafou, stay on top of the Acme deal and flag anything that moves.
