Heimdal by Bearlog is an innovative attendance tracking tool designed to turn any standard device equipped with a camera and a web browser into a fully functioning face recognition time clock and attendance kiosk.

Staff simply tap IN or OUT, look at the screen, and their attendance record is logged in seconds. No complex installations are required.

About Alfred By Aligno
Alfred by Aligno acts as an 'AI Head of Product,' designed to streamline and demystify the product discovery and decision-making process. By integrating deeply into a company's existing tech stack—including customer calls, support tickets, Slack conversations, product analytics, and even the codebase—Alfred centralizes scattered data. When a product manager asks a question about what to build next, the AI sifts through these diverse sources to find concrete evidence rather than relying on gut feelings or opinion battles. Once the research phase is complete, Alfred evaluates the potential impact and technical feasibility of the proposed feature. It doesn't just stop at analysis; the tool goes a step further by recommending a strategic path forward and drafting a fully cited Product Requirements Document (PRD) or roadmap item for human review. This comprehensive approach aims to significantly reduce the time spent digging for context, allowing product teams to focus on execution and strategy.

- Highly dependent on the quality and organization of a company's internal data; messy data will lead to poor recommendations.
