What is an AI executive assistant?
An AI assistant is software powered by artificial intelligence (AI) designed to help you complete tasks. Often using large language models (LLMs), AI executive assistants can free up your day to focus on more important matters.
There are many different types of AI assistants, each made for a specific purpose. For example, Zoom's AI assistant can help you take notes during long Zoom meetings. There are also AI assistants designed to manage meetings or respond to email inquiries.

What type of AI assistant is the best?
The best type of assistant — human or otherwise — is one that's fully integrated into your life and unique workflow.
You don't want to stop what you're doing every 15 minutes to loop in your assistant and explain what you need. That would defeat the purpose of having an assistant in the first place — freeing up your time. The same goes for AI assistants.
In our opinion, the best use of assistive AI tools is in your inbox. Email is still the most common way of communicating in the workplace, and it's also a common way to chat with friends, family, and more. That means our inboxes are often chaotic, and it can be hard to sift through all the messages and figure out what needs to be responded to.
By using an app with AI functionality that integrates directly into your email, you can eliminate this stress entirely. An AI assistant in your email can free up your time, help you prioritize, and make your life easier overall.
Superhuman is the most productive email app ever made. Fly through your inbox twice as fast, respond two days sooner, and save more than four hours every week. Sign up for Superhuman today.
What can an AI executive assistant do for you?
There are countless tasks an AI executive assistant can help you complete. It all depends on your preferences and individual needs.
That said, here are some common examples:
Organize your schedule
No matter if you're interested in an AI assistant for your personal or professional life, the prospect of having someone else organize your schedule is appealing. AI executive assistants can help with scheduling, pulling dates and appointments from your email, and adding them to your calendar before you lose track.
They can also help you organize your inbox. For instance, Superhuman's Auto Labels can automatically classify every incoming message, while Auto Archive automatically archives marketing, cold pitches, and social network updates.
Meanwhile, our Split Inbox function makes streamlining your communications a breeze. Many email apps can group emails by basic type, but in Superhuman, you can design your own categories, choose a workstream, and process those messages together.
Find the answers you need
Think about all the information in your inbox alone. Then, think about how impossible it is to find the message or attachment you need when you need it. It wastes valuable time, and it's easy to miss things with traditional search functions.
With Superhuman's Ask AI, you can get rapid answers without having to remember senders, guess keywords, or comb through messages. Instead, we'll immediately generate succinct answers.
Pay attention to the details
Executive assistants should ensure you never drop the ball. Instead of setting reminders, circling back, and twiddling your thumbs while you wait for a response, an AI assistant can make sure tasks and messages don’t slip through the cracks.
With Auto Reminders, Superhuman will set a reminder for when an email needs a response and write the follow-up. All you need to do is hit send. And with Auto Follow-Up, you don’t even need to hit send. You'll never drop the ball again!
Stay on top of your email communications
A good executive assistant should make communication a breeze — especially if they can access your inbox. They can draft emails, help craft professional responses, and take a massive weight off your shoulders.
AI assistants are no different. Rather than agonizing over the perfect reply, let AI lend a digital hand. For example, Superhuman's Auto Drafts automatically drafts replies to emails that need you to follow up. It can also adapt its voice to suit your unique style for each person, using the tone, length, and structure from emails you've sent to those people before.
The final word
Executive assistants offer a crucial way to unlock productivity.. By removing busy work and admin tasks from your daily to-do list, you can work smarter and propel your business. That said, hiring your own executive assistant isn't always feasible.
When you need support, AI executive assistants can do the trick. Superhuman is the most productive email app ever made.ly through your inbox and save four hours per week, every single week.
