MyHandler.ai vs Alyna
Alyna is an AI chief of staff with approval-first workflows, email/calendar management, and multi-agent research capabilities. Early-stage company based in San Francisco.
Both are personal AI assistants that brief you and draft with your approval. The difference is architecture: Alyna works from its cloud on your inbox and calendar. MyHandler works from your own machine — screen, meetings, and files included — with named encryption you can verify, not just "industry-standard security."

Key advantages
Alyna promises "industry-standard" security in its cloud. MyHandler's promise is verifiable architecture: an encrypted SQLCipher vault on your own disk, key in your Windows Credential Manager, optional on-device AI.
Alyna works from your email and calendar. MyHandler also remembers your screen, transcribes meetings on your own hardware, and indexes your documents — context a cloud inbox assistant never has.
MyHandler Personal is $15/month, flat. Alyna's Pro tier is $49/month metered in task credits — heavy use burns through them.
Both draft only with your approval — MyHandler never sends anything itself. The difference is how much each can draw on: MyHandler answers from your whole working day, stored privately on your machine.
