Alexandria launches a desktop recorder to turn employee workflows into AI training data

Alexandria founder Raphael Volpert launched a desktop recorder on October 27 that captures how employees work across desktop software to build an internal "human datalab" for training AI agents, pitching the product as a way to reproduce complex workflows without surveilling employees. The company's current Calmar site describes screen capture with local processing and employee controls, though the recorder raises questions about worker consent, access to derived workflow data, and how employers use it. Volpert's launch thread compared the ambition to companies building their own Mercor.

Why it matters #

Alexandria is betting that AI agents need detailed records of how employees work across desktop software. Its local-processing pitch addresses a real data concern, while the recorder still raises questions about worker consent, access to derived workflow data, and how employers use it.

Raphael Volpert (@raphaelmosaic) introduced Alexandria on October 27th, pitching it as a way for enterprises to build an internal "human datalab" for AI agents without surveilling employees. The product's premise is to capture how people actually work across desktop software, then use those observations to help agents reproduce complex workflows. Volpert's launch thread compared the ambition to companies building their own Mercor.
