An executive assistant we recruit, train, and keep managing
Hired and managed by HelpFlow
We recruit, hire, and train your executive assistant. After onboarding, a dedicated success manager keeps managing them. The service grew out of the customer service operations we run for ecommerce brands.
Your work and your personal admin
Your assistant handles your email and calendar along with travel, expenses, and projects. Household admin like appointments and gifts is part of the service too.
A daily report and a weekly review
Your assistant sends an end-of-day summary of what was handled and what's waiting on you. Your success manager runs a weekly business review with you to adjust scope and priorities.
AI for drafts, people for judgment
We set up an AI brief of your inbox and calendar during onboarding. Your assistant uses AI for drafts and summaries and makes the judgment calls.
Why choose HelpFlow over Wing
A HelpFlow assistant is built around your week. Onboarding starts with a five-minute interview about your priorities, and we turn it into an AI brief of your inbox, calendar, and open threads. Your assistant learns your contacts and preferences as well as how you like to communicate, and we QA every deliverable for the first four weeks.
The work comes to you. Your assistant ends each day with a report on what was handled and what’s waiting on you. Every week your success manager reviews the work with you and adjusts its scope and priorities, so the assistant keeps pace with what you need next.
