Stop fearing AI assistants. They're your new work ally. Here are 4 types of AI assistants EAs are building and loving right now: 💫 AI minute-taker: processes transcripts or rough written notes (even pics of them!) into slick minutes in your preferred format 💫 AI exec writer: drafts everything from emails to board reports in your exec's precise tone and style, down to the emojis 💫 AI expense processor: transforms pictures of receipts into expense sheets in your company template, and flags any that may be outside your policy 💫 AI office chatbot: a first line of defence for pesky facilities-related questions like how to book a meeting room or where the bike parking is NB the term "AI assistant" is super broad, what we're interested in here are the customized versions of LLMs (custom GPTs, Claude Projects, etc) that anyone on a paid account can build in minutes.
