Employee 001 — Executive Assistant
Your first AI employee starts on probation.
It reads your calendar, drafts in your voice, and finds the time nobody else could. Then it stops and asks — because on day one it has not earned the right to send anything on your behalf.
It arrives with the narrowest possible remit.
- Reports to
- You, and nobody else
- Working hours
- Yours, learned over time
- May act alone
- Read, research, draft
- Needs your sign-off
- Anything that leaves the building
Why probation
Any model can book a meeting. Almost none can be trusted to do it four hundred times.
Agentic error compounds. At 95% reliability per step, a ten‑step task finishes correctly about 60% of the time. A competent human operates near 99.9%. That gap is why most AI assistants stay demos.
We close it by refusing to let the model improvise. Work runs as a fixed graph, and the model fills only the genuinely fuzzy steps.

Before anything leaves
Five things happen between a decision and an email sending.
Every one is recorded. This is the part competitors skip, and it is why this can be trusted with a real inbox.
- 01
Verify
Four checks, cheapest first — shape, your rules, what we know about you, then a second model prompted to attack it rather than approve it.
- 02
Apply policy
Reading is automatic. Reversible writes are automatic and you're told. Anything irreversible stops here.
- 03
Ask you
Arrives where you already are. Approve it, or send it back with a reason it will remember.
- 04
Execute once
Guarded so a retry, a replay or a double-click can never send the same thing twice.
- 05
Write it down
What it did, what it checked, what you said, and when. Not a reconstruction — a record.
The trust ladder
Autonomy is granted, never assumed.
Every action class keeps a measured record. When one earns it, the system asks you — per action, per company, revocable the moment you change your mind.
This is the real control from the product. Try promoting it.

Fourteen bookings in a row went out exactly as your assistant drafted them. It’s asking to stop interrupting you for this one thing.
What it is expected to do
- The morning brief
- By the time you're awake: today's meetings, the mail that matters, what needs preparing, and every conflict it found.
- Inbox triage
- Sorts the day's mail, surfaces what genuinely needs you, and leaves the rest handled or waiting.
- Scheduling
- Reads real calendars, proposes a time that survives everyone's constraints, drafts the invite, then waits for you.
- Replies in your voice
- Drafts the response you would have written, learned from the ones you've sent and the edits you've made.
Hire one and keep it on a short leash.
It arrives fully gated. Widen what it may do only when it has given you a reason to.
