FAQ

What is Pelorus?

Pelorus is a personal chief of staff — the kind of support that used to come with a corner office. It works quietly across your inbox, your calendar, your meeting prep and your travel, so your attention stays on the work only you can do.

What does Pelorus do for me?

It triages mail and drafts replies in your voice, keeps the calendar honest, writes a brief before every meeting, and books travel end to end. Anything routine it finishes outright; anything consequential arrives on your desk with a recommendation already attached.

Who is it built for?

Founders, partners, clinicians and anyone carrying a full calendar without a full-time assistant. The average member handles about 240 emails a week and sits in 19 meetings — enough volume that the first hour saved covers the month.

How much can it take on?

More than most people hand it at first. A typical week runs 60 to 90 delegated items, and there is no cap on requests. The real limit is context, which is why the first fortnight matters more than any setting you will ever change.

How does it learn my voice?

From your sent mail, with your permission. It picks up tone, sign-offs, sentence length and who you are formal with, then drafts to match. Every draft stays editable, and each correction is folded back in — most members stop editing by about day nine.

Does it ever act without me?

Only inside limits you set. You decide which actions run on their own — accepting an invitation, confirming a seat, paying a recurring invoice — and which always wait for a yes. The default is to ask, and every action is logged with the reasoning behind it.

How does privacy work?

Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, is never used to train shared models, and runs on infrastructure we operate ourselves. Revoke a connection or delete your history whenever you like; deletion finishes within 72 hours. We are SOC 2 Type II audited and GDPR compliant.

What tools does it connect to?

The mail and calendar you already use, plus Portage for documents, Signalline for team chat, and any service that publishes a calendar feed. New connections ship most weeks — if the one you lean on is missing, say so and it usually lands within a month.
