Quick snapshot from the job board this week:

Mural- Executive Assistant, CEO (Remote)

Oura- Executive Assistant (SF)
$100,000–$118,000

Airbnb- Executive Business Partner (SF)
$123,000–$142,000

These are pulled from the same system I use to track roles across 20+ platforms.

Instead of bouncing between LinkedIn, company sites, and random alerts, you can search everything in one place:

If you’ve been in this role long enough, you know the job has never really been about “admin.” It’s about how work gets done, what gets prioritized, and increasingly, how systems are built behind the scenes.

That shift is starting to show up in how people are using AI.

Earlier this week I shared a post on LinkedIn about this and the responses made one thing very clear. The people getting real value from AI aren’t just using it once, they’re building workflows around it.

So in this issue, I want to unpack that a bit more and walk through one you can start using right away.

A few of the responses on the post stood out because they weren’t about using AI once, they were about building something around it.

And then the more advanced setups where AI is pulling from multiple sources, surfacing what actually matters, and a human is making the final call.

None of these are one-off prompts. They’re things that run. Every week, across multiple inputs, with a clear output.

That’s the difference.

So instead of just talking about it, I want to walk through one example you can start using right away.

This week’s workflow is the Weekly Executive Brief, and it’s one of the highest leverage systems you can build. Instead of your exec walking into the week reacting to updates, they start with a clear view of what matters. Who they’re meeting, what’s moving, what needs attention, and what can wait.

At a high level, this is just pulling upcoming meetings with external attendees, gathering context on who they are, what the company does, and anything recent or relevant, then layering in internal context like Slack threads, email updates, or notes from prior conversations. From there, you generate a short, structured briefing that highlights what actually matters and what to pay attention to.

If you wanted to start building something like this, it would look like defining three things upfront:

The inputs are usually straightforward. Calendar events, Slack threads, email updates, anything that gives signal. The harder part is deciding what makes it into the briefing. What’s actually relevant, what needs context, and what your exec should care about.

Then you structure the output so it’s consistent. Not a long summary, but something they can scan quickly and walk into the day prepared.

What this changes is how your exec shows up. They’re not spending the first part of their day catching up, they’re walking in already prepared. You’re not just managing a calendar, you’re improving how they show up in every conversation.

The idea itself is simple, but how you structure the inputs, how you decide what gets included, and how you make it run consistently is what actually makes this useful.

Using AI is one thing. Building something that runs every week is another. That’s what I’m starting to go deeper on next.

A small reminder that when you actually build something (not just use the tool), you can make some pretty great things.

We’re building a worldwide, EA-approved restaurant map. 🎉

But not just a list. Think of it as a system operators can rely on when they need a great spot, fast.

Have a go-to?

Submit it below:

• City
• Restaurant
• Why it works (not just good, but when you’d use it)

What started as an idea I shared on LinkedIn has grown into a community of operators and partnerships with companies like Vimcal, Offsite, and more.

Over the past year, we’ve covered everything from reorgs and recognition to AI and automation, and started building tools operators actually use, from the Restaurant Map to the Job Board to the Offsite Location Finder. None of this happens without you.

This is the next phase of what we’re building. Not just talking about workflows, but showing exactly how to build them. This is where things are going, and the gap is only going to get wider.

We’re just getting started. If you’ve been here since the beginning, thank you 💜 . If you’re new, you’re early 🙂

With love and lots of ☕️ coffee,

Chrissy

If your week isn’t flowing like this yet… we’ll get there. 💃
