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.

What should I try if I like spicy food?

7:31 PM

Go for the Miso! It's usually richer and pairs well with spice. You can ask for 'karai' (辛い) which means spicy. Point to your choice and say 'Kore, karai de onegaishimasu' — they'll add chili oil or spicy paste!
