Executive assistant training, not AI training

I help executives set up an AI assistant that actually knows their world — so it takes real work off their desk instead of just answering questions.

I'm Andy. I work one-to-one with senior people who have more work than hours, and teach them to hand real work to an assistant that remembers how they think.

The problem

Most executives are using AI like a search engine. I teach them to use it like an assistant.

Most executives who try AI are doing something closer to using a search engine with better manners. Open a chat window, ask a question, get an answer, close it. Nothing accumulates. Nothing gets easier the second time — and the hours that should be freeing up for the business never actually show up, because nothing was ever handed off, just answered.

A real assistant is different. They learn your context, keep it, and get more useful every month. That's a training problem, not a tooling problem — which is why none of this starts with picking software.

How it works

Five steps, in order. Each one only works if the last one did.

I teach executives to delegate to AI — properly, with the same rigour they'd use with a person.

  1. 01

    Know

    Give the assistant the context you'd give a new hire: your role, your people, your priorities, how you make decisions.

  2. 02

    Remember

    Set it up so nothing has to be re-explained. What you established in March still holds in October.

  3. 03

    Hand over

    Delegate whole pieces of work with a proper brief, the way you would to a person — not one question at a time.

  4. 04

    Systematise

    Turn the handoffs that worked into standing routines, so the same work stops arriving on your desk at all.

  5. 05

    Verify

    Know how to check the work before you rely on it. Judgement stays with you; the drafting doesn't.

Who it's for

This works for some people and not others. Worth knowing which you are before we talk.

A good fit

Real volume. Enough email, writing, analysis and follow-up that handing some of it over would visibly change your week.

A genuine time problem. You're not curious about AI — you're out of hours, and the business needs some of them back.

Enough autonomy. You can change how you work without asking three committees first.

Probably not for you

You want tips and shortcuts. If what you're after is a list of prompts, a newsletter will serve you better and cost nothing.

Your organisation blocks it. If policy rules out putting work context into an assistant, the method has nothing to stand on yet.

You want it done for you. I train you to delegate. I'm not the assistant.

Where this stands

I'm currently working one-to-one with executives across building compliance and insurance. No case studies published yet — this is early, and I'd rather say so.

I'd rather tell you that than put invented testimonials on a page. Ask me on the call what has and hasn't worked so far, and I'll tell you plainly.

Working together

One-to-one coaching, built around your actual work.

We work through the five steps using the real things on your desk — your inbox, your reporting, your decisions. It's one fixed program covering all five steps, not sold piecemeal — the first conversation is about your week, not a curriculum.
