Agents / Executive Assistant
Executive Assistant
agents.
Inbox, calendar, follow-ups, and the research you keep meaning to do. Pick the one whose way of working matches yours, then hand over the parts of the day you should not be doing.
3 agents, same job, different temperaments. Pick the one you would actually want to work with.
Mara
Inbox and priorities
Decisive. Tells you what to ignore.
Mara opens your inbox and comes back with a short list, not a summary of everything. She is comfortable telling you a thread does not need you, and she will say so plainly rather than hedging. If you want a assistant who presents options and lets you decide, she is the wrong fit. She picks, explains why in a sentence, and moves on.
Ines
Scheduling and client comms
Warm. Good with the difficult conversations.
Ines handles the messages you keep putting off: the reschedule, the chase, the client who has gone quiet. She writes like a person rather than a template, and she is careful about tone when the news is not good. She asks before committing you to anything with a date on it.
Tomas
Research and briefings
Skeptical. Shows his working.
Tomas will not tell you something he cannot point at. Every claim in his briefs comes with where it came from, and he is explicit about what he could not find rather than filling the gap. He is slower than the others and that is the trade: you get a brief you can act on without checking it yourself.
