How does Alertora work?

Alertora is your AI travel buddy on WhatsApp. Just text her like a friend — she helps with travel tips, safety check-ins, and alerts. No app download needed.

Is Alertora free to use?

Yep! The free tier covers travel tips, translation, packing help, and Walk-With-Me mode. Premium adds trip planning, automatic check-ins, quick emergency contact access, and the travel journal.

Do I need to download an app?

Nope. Alertora works entirely through WhatsApp. If you have WhatsApp, you're good to go.

What languages does Alertora support?

Alertora supports 57 languages and works in over 180 countries. You can chat in your native language and get help with translations for signs, menus, and documents.

How do safety check-ins work?

Tell Alertora about your plans (dinner at 8pm, morning hike, etc.) and she automatically checks in after your activity. If you don't respond, she follows up. Still quiet? She suggests reaching your emergency contacts.

Is my data private and secure?

Absolutely. All conversations are encrypted through WhatsApp. We never share your personal information or location data with third parties. Your emergency contacts are only used when you explicitly ask.

What is Walk-With-Me mode?

Walk-With-Me mode is a virtual companion feature. Say "walk with me" and Alertora stays in conversation to keep you company while walking home at night or through unfamiliar areas. It's like having a friend on the phone.

Alertora started with a simple question: What if solo travelers had someone to talk things through with? A calm voice. Thoughtful guidance. Someone who actually gets it.

How it started

After traveling solo across Southeast Asia, we realized how isolating and uncertain travel can sometimes feel. Even with all the guidebooks and apps, there's something missing: someone who listens, understands, and helps you think things through.

We started building Alertora to fill that gap. Not as a safety service or emergency app, but as a genuine travel companion. A voice that's there when you need to process a decision, calm down, or just talk about your experience.

"The best part of Alertora wasn't the logistics help—it was having someone to talk to when I wasn't sure about something. That made all the difference."
