Concept

Software for Executive Assistants.

Longer Description

Executive Assistants are often at the center of multiple people and large companies. Their workflows are incredibly unique and difficult to transfer between employees. In downtimes, EA budgets often get put under pressure and are forced to cover multiple people with different priorities and workflows, putting immense bandwidth constraints on a given person. During boom times, EAs are often viewed as the key support function that helps some of the top performers in an organization maintain high leverage. Software that is purpose-built for managing both the professional and personal side of a given EA’s Subject is an underserved market that could proliferate in a bottoms-up fashion incredibly quickly ahead of enterprise distribution.

With the rise of AI and things like prompt interfaces and tools like Adept’s latest release, this could only lead to a variety of compelling product choices and experiments surrounding high time-value but low $-value tools (like booking a table) as well.

Other Thoughts

  • It’s likely you can figure out what parts ot automate over time but the product begins as a dashboard for utilization, and a database for transferability of key knowledge of the Subject (who the EA helps support).
  • Web first, then mobile, with ability for the Subject to see a version of the tool is also very helpful/interesting angle.
  • Probably would want design + product DNA on founding team.
