Inbox
Bookings & calendar
Book meetings and appointments in the shared calendar
Matching availability and sending invites is easy to automate, with exceptions coming back to the assistant.
Phone & voice
Answer incoming calls and take messages
An agent can answer simple calls and log messages after hours. During the day a friendly human voice still matters for most callers.
Spreadsheets & data
Update client and job records in the system
Copying details from emails and forms into records is repetitive data entry.
Documents
Format letters, proposals and forms from templates
Merging details into templates is mechanical. The assistant checks names, figures and tone before sending.
Take and distribute meeting notes
An agent can transcribe and draft notes with actions. Someone who was there should check them.
Customer chat
Look after a visitor or caller who is upset or confused
Calm, personal help in the moment is a human strength and part of the business's reputation.
Admin
Chase missing documents from clients
Reminder sequences for outstanding paperwork can run automatically until the item arrives.
Prepare permit, compliance or application paperwork
An agent can prefill forms from project details. Requirements vary, so a person checks before submitting.
Order office supplies when stock runs low
Regular reorders are predictable and can be placed from a list.
Time freed, and where it goes.
