Overview

Alliesia is a voice-first AI project-management and client platform — positioned as a faster alternative to ClickUp and Monday — that turns voice and client conversations into organized, automated execution. It was the company's own product, and I built three of its core modules: real-time chat, role-based permissions, and payments.

My Role & Contributions

  • Slack-like chat (Socket.IO) — built the entire chat module: channels, DMs, private channels, and secret channels. I also connected channels to task boards and interlinked task messages, so conversations tie directly into the work they're about.
  • Role permissions — implemented the permission system for the product's different roles — Owner, Manager, Employee, Admin, and more — with access scoped correctly per role.
  • Payments (Stripe) — built the full payment module: subscription plans, add-ons, and feature gating, so what a workspace can access is tied to its plan.

Key Features

  • Real-time chat — channels, direct messages, and private & secret channels.
  • Chat ↔ work linking — channels connected to task boards, with task messages interlinked.
  • Role-based permissions — Owner / Manager / Employee / Admin and more.
  • Subscription plans & add-ons — flexible billing through Stripe.
  • Feature gating — access gated by plan and add-ons.

Tech Stack & Architecture

  • Backend: Node.js with MongoDB.
  • Real-time: Socket.IO, powering the chat module.
  • Payments: Stripe — plans, add-ons, and feature gating.
  • Web: Next.js with Tailwind CSS.

Challenges & Solutions

  • A full Slack-like chat — building channels, DMs, and private/secret channels on Socket.IO is involved on its own; the harder, more valuable part was wiring chat into the rest of the product — linking channels to task boards and interlinking task messages so conversations stay connected to the work.
  • Scoped permissions — modelling several roles (Owner, Manager, Employee, Admin, …) so each one sees and does exactly what it should.
  • Plan-based feature gating — tying Stripe plans and add-ons to feature access cleanly, so billing and capabilities stay in sync.
