The Story of Aluma
Aluma began as a simple question: How do we protect what makes human care human in an AI-shaped world? What followed was a framework, a philosophy, and a suite of tools built to strengthen-not replace-the professional judgement at the heart of social work
Created by a social worker who spent nearly two decades watching the gap widen between real-world practice and emerging technology, Aluma was designed to restore clarity, protect ethical boundaries, and give practitioners a place to pause before the work moves forward. From reflective decision tools to documentation support and structured trainings, Aluma exists to help professionals think more deeply, lead with integrity, and navigate the future with confidence rather than overwhelm.

Our

Reflective Strategy
Aluma begins with one principle: ethical clarity must guide every interaction between humans and intelligent systems. Our reflective strategy framework helps practitioners slow down, surface judgement, and make decisions that protect both clients and professional boundaries
Execution
Execution at Aluma means turning reflection into action.
Through tools like Ask Aluma and Aluma Scribe, we help translate thoughtful practice into documentation, communication, and workflows that honor the realities of care work
A Changing Landscape of Practice
Professionals across human services are voicing the same concerns; staying grounded, protecting judgement, and finding clarity as the work evolves
"I'm worried about losing the human instinct in our work. How do we protect the parts of practice that can't be automated. "
- Practitioner Voice "Linkedin"
"I'm trying to stay grounded, but everything feels like it's speeding up. AI tools are popping up everywhere with no guidance on how to use them safely."
- Insight from the Field (via Linkedin)
"While AI can support with information, reminders, and documentation, it cannot replace the empathy, nuance and psychological safety a real human being offers."
