What you can hand your agent — a menu to order from. These are the jobs your agent can take off your plate today. You don't have to use all of them. Skim the list, pick the ones that hit closest to your own busywork, and hand those over first.
Everything here is plain-English delegation: you say what you want in normal words, your agent goes and does it.
YOUR PERSONAL ASSISTANT WORK
The everyday small stuff that eats your hours and leaves nothing behind:
- Email drafts — you give the gist, it drafts the reply, you glance and send.
- Message replies — the same deal on your chat apps, kept in your voice.
- Calendar wrangling — meetings booked, moved, and de-conflicted.
- A morning brief — your day, your priorities, the one thing that needs you, ready when you wake.
- Follow-ups & reminders — the loops that quietly slip, chased and closed.
- Inbox triage — the important email surfaced, the noise set aside.
RESEARCH & THINKING
- Quick research — "go find out X and summarize it, with sources."
- Comparisons — options weighed side by side in a one-pager you can act on.
- Summaries — long documents, threads, or transcripts boiled down to what matters.
- Drafting & rewriting — first drafts of posts, docs, and messages, in your tone.
- A second opinion — talk a decision through and get the case for and against.
KEEPING WATCH
- Watch and alert — keep an eye on something and tell you when it changes.
- Scheduled checks — a report or a status look that runs on its own, on a schedule.
- Overnight work — hand it a task at night, wake up to it done.
WORKING ACROSS YOUR TOOLS
- Reach into the software you already use — once you grant access the safe way, it can work inside your real tools, not just talk about them.
- Fetch and file — pull the document you need, put things where they belong.
- Turn one thing into another — a transcript into notes, a list into a table, notes into a draft.
HOW TO ORDER FROM THIS MENU
- Start with one line. Pick a single item above and just ask for it in plain words. No setup, no special phrasing.
- Be specific about the outcome. "Draft a friendly reply declining this, and offer next month instead" beats "handle this email."
- Say how you want it back. Bullets or prose, short or full, now or by end of day.
- Grant access only when a task needs it, and always the safe way — your agent tells you the exact, revocable steps when the moment comes.
Not sure where to start? The three most common first wins are: inbox triage, a daily morning brief, and "research this while I'm in a meeting." Any one of them earns its keep on day one.
