Not for the status, but for the relief. Someone to handle all the pointless admin that fills my days.
I got to use one at work for a while. It changed my life. Suddenly I could focus on what mattered. Email, scheduling, follow-ups - all handled. I wanted that for everyone.
Try BadAtMailA good PA goes through all your email. They know what's important, what needs a response, what can be archived, and what requires your immediate attention. You don't have to triage your own inbox.
The best part isn't just that they handle tasks - it's that they remember everything. They know your priorities. What projects you're working on. Who matters. What you care about. That context makes them invaluable.
You don't write emails from scratch. They draft them. You review and send. Or tell them what to change. It's collaborative but they do the actual work of translating thoughts into messages.
Over time, a good PA learns how you work. Your communication style. What annoys you. What you never want to deal with. They adapt and improve and you don't have to keep explaining things.
Personal assistants are expensive. Only executives and wealthy people can afford them. Most of us just dream about what it would be like to have someone handling our admin.
Reading and understanding email? AI does that. Remembering context and learning preferences? AI does that. Drafting replies in your voice? AI does that. All the things a PA does for email - it's possible to automate.
BadAtMail learns what you care about. Which emails you respond to, your tone and style. It builds the same contextual understanding that makes human PAs so valuable.
Just like working with a PA, you're still in control. The AI drafts replies, you review them. It suggests what to archive, you confirm. It learns from your edits.
Personal assistants shouldn't be a luxury good. The relief of having someone handle your admin shouldn't require a six-figure salary. If we can build it with AI, everyone should have access to it.
