Executive Administrative Assistant

We are excited to introduce Patricia, an on-demand executive assistant who automatically syncs and organizes calendars, prepares meeting follow-up documents, and consolidates cross-department insights from scheduled meetings.

Patricia integrates with calendar software, email platforms, and document systems to standardize scheduling and team communications, thereby eliminating errors from manual team outreach and follow-up processes.

Patricia works as an end-to-end executive assistant, normalizing every inbound request with automated hand-offs ranked by priority score. Patricia measures priority scores by requester role; for example, a manager with an inbound request will be serviced before a request made by a support staff member.

All departments require admin, and when every request is considered urgent by its sender, Patricia steps in to determine which requests are actually essential and will be processed expeditiously. Additionally, Patricia oversees calendar coordination and schedules meetings that accommodate time zones and attendee availability. For anything that takes up time you don’t have, Patricia is here to automate.

How Patricia Works

Step 1: An executive team member organizes a meeting, and Patricia captures the details and context, such as meeting time, attendees, and the topic of conversation.

Step 2: Patricia assesses the urgency/relevancy of the meeting to sequence corresponding tasks based on the meeting timeline and assigns a priority score to follow-up tasks.

Step 3: Patricia then syncs with team member calendars to smooth any conflicts and book meeting spaces, as well as send out invite links.

Step 4: Patricia automatically generates meeting assets, such as agendas, meeting briefs, and presentation decks, to ensure that proper knowledge bases are leveraged for meeting materials.

Step 5: Patricia confirms meeting attendance by collecting RSVP notices.

Step 6: Patricia follows up with itineraries for executive approval before finalizing meeting scheduling.

Step 7: Post-event, Patricia summarizes and reiterates action items, routes tasks to owners, and updates meeting records to align with delegated work tasks.

Application

Let’s imagine Patricia in action: it’s the week of a board meeting and the C-suite’s schedule is packed with investor calls, product launch overviews, and consultations with the local municipality. Such chaos equates to burnout, double-booked meetings, and inboxes that are overwhelmed.

With Patricia, scheduling conflicts are resolved seamlessly as the workflow begins processing requests for C-suite members to gauge task lists and set priority queues. Patricia organizes incoming requests into a single inbox, determines a priority list of notifications, and arranges the inbox based on urgency.

Patricia reshuffles calendars so that scheduled meetings don’t have conflicting times and everyone can attend. Additionally, Patricia inserts 15-minute buffers into meeting start times, books a larger room for demos when more attendees are expected, and double-checks all sent invitation links.

Before the meeting, Patricia compiles a one-page brief for all C-suite executives with links to presentation decks. Furthermore, for anyone who hasn’t confirmed attendance, Patricia reaches out to them, gently reminding them of the scheduled meeting.

Post meeting, Patricia compiles a meeting summary for all attendees, highlighting key takeaways from the latest presentations and actionable KPIs for future steps. Additionally, Patricia assigns owners to action steps, automatically schedules any post-meeting follow-ups, and updates records of project progress.

Conclusion

Coordinating office admin work is like structuring the connective tissue of a business, ensuring your employees are functioning on schedule to service clients effectively. This work requires dealing with opposing calendars, different personalities, and diverse departmental skill sets; it can be a nightmare.

Patricia is here to alleviate the admin burden by automatically scheduling meetings, optimizing calendar conflicts, and following up with next-step assignments.
