Description
Focor is designed to help individuals regain perspective and clarity in their professional lives by providing a "quiet place" to understand their work. It addresses the common challenge where everything feels urgent but nothing feels important, especially in an era where AI makes producing work effortless but doesn't guide attention.

The platform connects various work tools such as Outlook, Microsoft Calendar, Slack, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, Google Drive, Gmail, and Microsoft OneDrive. By integrating these sources, Focor builds a comprehensive context around your work, including the people involved, past conversations, agreed-upon decisions, and open questions. This holistic view helps users understand where things stand, prioritize effectively, and make informed decisions.
Focor is built for human attention, aiming to bring the context of a working life into view. It helps users prepare for meetings by surfacing relevant history, understand their work patterns to identify recurring interruptions, and keep their own goals and ideas in focus amidst daily demands. Unlike a task manager that organizes things to do, Focor focuses on the "why" behind tasks, who is involved, and how they relate to the broader work landscape.
A key capability of Focor is its ability to enhance existing AI tools. By bringing the rich context it builds—such as people, objectives, and decisions—into other AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT, Focor significantly improves the relevance and quality of AI-generated answers. An internal comparison showed that Focor context improved AI answer quality by 8.9 points beyond email and calendar search alone, scoring 35.7 out of 45.
Privacy and security are central to Focor's design. Users decide what information Focor reads, and all connected data is encrypted at rest and in transit. The platform is aligned with GDPR and CCPA requirements, with SOC 2 Type I work in progress. Focor explicitly states that it does not use connected-source content or private models to train shared or public AI models, ensuring user data remains private and sovereign. Access to the platform is currently by invitation, with users requesting access through the website and joining small cohorts.
