Alvora Cyber · Founder

AI agents read everything. Someone has to read it first.

Alvora is a desktop security layer that stops prompt injection, jailbreaks and data exfiltration before they reach an enterprise's AI agents. The name comes from alvorada, Portuguese for dawn.

The Leverage Era

My working paper argues that AI won't wipe out human work evenly. It splits it: people who direct AI get far more output from each hour, and people whose tasks AI absorbs get squeezed. The paper is about where that line falls, and what businesses and policymakers can do about it.
