Why now

AI is already in your inbox, your calendar and your meeting notes. The assistants who learn to direct it will set the new standard for the role. Nobody needs to become an engineer to get there.

Your judgment

AI drafts, you decide

You know your executive, the politics and the unwritten rules. AI does the first pass; you make the call.

Your time

Hours back each week

Briefings, travel plans, follow-ups and first drafts take minutes instead of an afternoon.

Your career

A skill that travels

Using AI well, and safely, is fast becoming part of the job description. Get ahead of it.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. The workshops, the recordings and the toolkit are free. There’s nothing to buy.

Who runs the Academy?

ANCI AI (Calndr Inc.), the team behind ANCI, an AI scheduling agent for executive assistants. The teaching covers AI in general and the tools you may already have. ANCI appears in one clearly marked part of a workshop.

I’ve barely used AI. Is this for me?

Yes. The first workshop starts from zero, and every demo is something you can repeat with a free tool the same day.

What if I can’t make it live?

Register anyway. Everyone who signs up gets the recording and the demo steps by email.

Is it safe to use AI with my executive’s information?

Only in tools your company has approved. The first workshop covers what never goes into a chatbot, and the toolkit includes a short checklist you can share with IT.

Who is it for?

Executive assistants, administrative assistants, chiefs of staff and office managers, anywhere. Workshops are in English, timed for US hours.

Your Assistant Got an AI Assistant.
