Living in Denmark without fluent Danish means one thing above all: paperwork you did not choose, in a language you are still learning, with deadlines that do not wait. You can paste every letter into a chatbot — or you can have a secretary who reads it, tells you what to do, writes the answer, and remembers your situation next time. That second thing is Sofia.
A chatbot answers. A secretary handles.
General AI tools are genuinely useful in Denmark — for translation, for quick questions, for checking how an email sounds. Their limit is that they stop after the answer: nothing gets sent, no deadline is tracked, and tomorrow they have forgotten your case. A secretary's job starts where the answer ends:
| Step | Chatbot | Sofia (secretary) |
|---|---|---|
| Explain the Danish letter | Yes — if you paste it | Yes — from a photo or PDF |
| Find the deadline and required action | Sometimes | Yes — stated explicitly |
| Draft the reply in polite Danish | Yes | Yes — in YOUR tone |
| Send the email | No | Yes — from your connected mail |
| Put the deadline in your calendar | No | Yes — with a reminder |
| Remember the case next time | No | Yes — that is the point of a secretary |
The jobs internationals actually bring
- «What is this letter?» — kommune decisions, jobcenter invitations, Skat, debt collection: photograph it and get the meaning, the deadline and your next move in plain English. Start with our free guides: kommune letters, jobcenter letters, debt collection.
- «Check this before I sign» — rental contracts (§ 11!) and payslips.
- «Write it in Danish for me» — the note to your boss, the reply to the landlord, the professional email — described by you in English, written by Sofia in natural Danish.
- «Don't let me miss it» — deadlines from letters land in the calendar with reminders.
Why it is different for people who dread writing
SkrivSikkert was built dyslexia-first, by a severely dyslexic founder — for everyone who feels a knot in the stomach before hitting send. That is a different starting point from productivity tools built to save executives minutes. If writing in a second language makes you double-check every word, the secretary is built for exactly you: read-aloud, your own tone preserved, and no judgement. 80,000+ people use it every month.
Danish, by design
SkrivSikkert is a Danish company; data is processed on Danish servers and the service is GDPR-compliant — see our EU AI Act overview (SkrivSikkert is classified minimal-risk). It understands the Danish context: what a partshøring is, why § 11 matters in a rental contract, and what your a-kasse expects on day one.

Explain my letterFrequently asked questions
What is the difference between an AI secretary and ChatGPT?
A chatbot answers; a secretary handles. Sofia explains your Danish letter AND finds the deadline, drafts the reply in your tone, can send the email, puts the date in your calendar and remembers the context next time. General chatbots stop after the answer.
Does it work in English?
Yes — you write in English (or Ukrainian), Sofia answers in your language and writes the Danish text for you when something must be sent in Danish. The whole interface runs in English with ?hl=en.
Do I need to install an app or create an account to try it?
No. It runs in the browser and you can try it without login or card. A paid plan unlocks the full secretary — email, calendar and memory.
Where is my data processed?
SkrivSikkert is a Danish company and processes data on Danish servers, GDPR-compliant. You can read the details on our EU AI Act page — SkrivSikkert is classified as minimal-risk and uses no biometric identification or social scoring.
