Hi There!
Let’s be honest, most AI talk sounds like it came from someone who’s never opened Outlook or had to track down an exec’s flight confirmation and their favorite board member’s gluten-free cake preference in the same hour. 🥴
This week, we’re cutting through the hype and talking about AI agents that actually save you time as an EA.
Not “make a cute summary” tools… We’re talking real automations like:
✉️ Agents that send calendar confirmations (so you stop chasing people down)
📊 Agents that audit your exec’s time and make suggestions
🧾 Agents that remind you to file receipts, follow up, and breathe
These are tools that take recurring, brain-draining admin tasks off your plate.
The best part? You don’t need to code. You just need to think like an EA (which you already do).
With love, and lots of coffee ☕
