AI Executive Assistant Setup

Your first hire is an AI assistant.

You talk. She does the work. I come to you and set it up in person, step by step.

Every setup is custom, starting at $4,000. I take two clients at a time.

The real problem

You started a business. Somehow you became its assistant.

The inbox, the reminders, the client messages, the paperwork. It all lands on you, and the work that grows your business waits until tomorrow.

11 hrs

a week, roughly what a small business owner spends on admin, according to a survey of 1,000 owners.

#1

Email and the inbox top the list of admin work that eats owners' time.

$500+

a month is what a part-time US virtual assistant usually costs. Often a lot more.

What changes

Work that happens through a conversation

The setup I run my own business on, every day.

You talk, she talks back

Speak naturally. She answers out loud.

She works behind the scenes

Emails, calendar, reminders, paperwork and research, handled.

She learns you

She remembers your business. Nothing goes out without your yes.

"I always ask, can you do this? And almost every time, the answer is yes. The only thing she can't do is show up in person. That's my job."

Just a few things

Ask, and it's done.

Real tasks from my own week. The list keeps going.

See the math
The virtual assistant math
  1. $25 an hour ร— 10 hours a week = $250 a week
  2. $250 ร— 52 weeks = $13,000 a year
  3. $13,000 รท 12 months = about $1,083 a month
  4. Two years: $13,000 ร— 2 = $26,000
The AI assistant math
  1. $4,000 setup รท 12 months = about $333 a month
  2. $333 + $20 AI plan = about $353 a month for months 1 to 12
  3. Months 13 and on: $20 a month, just the AI plan
  4. Two years: $4,000 + ($20 ร— 24) = $4,480

$26,000 โˆ’ $4,480 = $21,520 you keep in the first two years.

Based on a $4,000 setup and a virtual assistant at about $25 an hour for 10 hours a week. Your quote may be different. Affirm and Klarna set your actual monthly payment when you're approved, and it may include interest. Your AI plan is paid to Claude or ChatGPT, not to me.

I only work with two clients at a time, because I set everything up in person. If you handle patient or client health information, your assistant stays away from it, and I'll show you how.

Who's coming to your office

Hi, I'm Shea.

I wanted assistants who never sleep. So I spent sleepless nights and one full week of trial and error teaching myself to build them, one skill at a time.

Now I run my business mostly by voice. I talk to my laptop, it talks back, and the work gets done. I even run it from my phone when I'm out.

I come to you so you can skip the week I spent figuring it out. You get the setup that works, built around your business.

Questions

Before you reach out

Do I need to be good with technology?

No. If you can talk, you can run your assistant. Our first visit is all about getting comfortable, and I don't leave until you are.

What kind of computer do I need?

A Mac you use for work is the simplest, since that's what I run my own business on. On Windows or a tablet? I can usually make it work, sometimes with a small cloud computer. That's part of your quote.

Will she send emails without asking me?

No. She drafts, and you approve. Nothing goes out until you've read it and said yes.

Is there a monthly cost?

Only your AI plan, which you pay to Anthropic or OpenAI directly, plus any app upgrades your setup needs. I list those in your quote, so nothing is a surprise. Follow-up visits with me are optional.

Can I pay over time?

Yes. You can pay at each visit, pay upfront and save $500, or use Affirm or Klarna at checkout.

Where do you travel?

Greater Boston and Massachusetts. If you're farther out, ask me on our call.

What if I want more than an assistant?

Once she's running, you can add specialists, like a marketing or strategy agent, priced as part of your quote.

Stop doing the work. Start running the company.
