Brogan is an AI operations assistant for small business owners, built and managed by Athencia.
Sound familiar?
I spend my entire morning just figuring out what I need to do today.
I know I'm dropping follow-ups but I don't have time to track them.
I walked into a meeting last week and forgot the last conversation.
I have invoices aging that I haven't followed up on because I don't have time to write the awkward email.
Before you open your laptop, Brogan sends your day: calendar, urgent emails, deadlines, open follow-ups. Start oriented, not reactive.
What needs my attention? Brogan prioritizes your inbox and drafts replies in your voice. You approve before anything sends.
Brogan catches commitments in your email and tracks them. When something slips, you know before it becomes a problem.
30 minutes before a meeting, Brogan sends you a brief: recent emails, open items, relevant deadlines. Walk in prepared without trying.
Every Monday: email volume, meetings, follow-ups closed. The COO view you've never had.
Connected to your Microsoft 365 email and calendar.
Your business: your clients, your communication style, your deadlines and workflows.
Morning briefings arrive before you open your laptop. Reply to Brogan via Signal anytime.
Brogan is your first hire. Operations leverage without the overhead. Less than a part-time VA, available 24/7.
Brogan augments the owner. Stop being the bottleneck in your own business.
Ask Brogan is a managed AI service from Athencia. Setup is covered by your $249 founding deposit. Ongoing service is billed monthly with no long-term contract.
Does Brogan have access to all my email?
Yes, and that is the point. Brogan connects to your Microsoft 365 inbox and calendar so it can actually do useful work.
Here is the honest picture of where your data goes. Brogan runs on a dedicated device on your own network, so local orchestration stays local. When Brogan needs to reason, draft a reply, or summarize a thread, that content goes to an enterprise-grade LLM via API. Think Anthropic or OpenAI, not a free consumer account with your business data mixed in with everyone else's.
Your data is not used to train any model. It is not stored beyond the immediate request. It is processed under commercial API terms with serious security controls behind them. That is meaningfully different from an employee pasting client emails into a personal ChatGPT account, which is almost certainly happening somewhere in your business right now. (We can help with that.)
Will your client data end up somewhere embarrassing? No. Will it be used against you? No. Is this perfect, zero-footprint privacy? Also no. That is the honest answer, and it is why Brogan is not the right fit for firms operating under strict data residency requirements.
Can Brogan send emails on my behalf?
No, not without your approval. Brogan drafts replies and surfaces them to you. Nothing leaves your outbox until you have reviewed and approved it. This is not a setting you configure. It is how Brogan works by design.
What does the $249 deposit actually cover?
It reserves your spot and is credited in full toward your setup fee when you are ready to move forward. If you decide Brogan is not right for you before onboarding begins, it is fully refunded. No questions asked, no process to fight through.
What is the setup process like?
We start with a 90-minute discovery session. That is where we learn your business: your clients, how you communicate, what is slipping through. If you are in the Seattle metro area, we will come to you for that session if you would like. If you are remote, we will do it over a video call. For clients who want the full white-glove experience regardless of location, on-site is available for an additional fee.
From there, Brogan gets configured specifically for you. There is a shadow period where you see the output before anything goes live, so you can validate that it sounds right and catches the right things.
Most clients are fully live within two to four weeks of their discovery session. I build and configure each instance personally, which is why there are only ten founding spots.
What if Brogan gets something wrong?
It will, occasionally, especially early on. That is why there is a shadow period before go-live, and why nothing sends without your approval. When Brogan gets something wrong, you tell it, and it adjusts. The first 30 days are intentionally tuned alongside you. This is not a set-it-and-forget-it product. It is a managed service.
Do I need to be technical to use this?
No. You interact with Brogan the same way you would text a colleague, over Signal. You do not touch any configuration or log into any dashboard. If something needs adjusting, you tell us and we handle it.
What if I want to cancel?
Month-to-month. No long-term contract. If Brogan is not working for you, 30 days notice and you are done. We would rather earn your business every month than lock you in.
Does this work with my existing email setup?
If you are on Microsoft 365, yes. Brogan connects to your existing M365 tenant. No migration, no new email system, no disruption to how your team works today. Gmail and other providers are not currently supported.

I've spent 30 years in Microsoft technology, managing environments from enterprise scale down to small businesses. The operational overhead that drowns business owners is a solvable problem. Brogan is how I'm solving it.
