Calendar and scheduling

6Fit a meeting into a full week

Here is my executive’s week: [paste]. A [length] meeting with [person in time zone] has to fit before [date]. List every option that respects these rules: [no Friday afternoons, 15 minutes between calls]. For each one, say what would have to move.

Meetings

9A one-page prep brief

11Clean notes into actions

Turn these raw meeting notes into: 1) three-line summary, 2) decisions, 3) action items as a table with owner and due date. Flag anything unclear instead of guessing. Notes: [paste]

12The same-day follow-up

Write the follow-up email for this meeting: [summary and actions]. Thank people in one line, list actions with owners and dates, and confirm the next meeting time if there is one.

Travel and events

13Build an itinerary

Build a day-by-day itinerary for my executive’s trip from these confirmations: [paste]. Include local times, addresses, confirmation numbers, and travel time between stops. Flag any tight connections.

Using only these sources [paste or links], write a short briefing on [company]: what they do, recent news, who we’re meeting, and two good conversation openers.

18Turn a task list into a plan

Here is everything on my plate: [paste]. Sort it into today, this week and later, using these priorities: [executive’s priorities]. Point out anything I could hand off or drop.

19Draft a process doc

Write a step-by-step guide for [recurring task] so a backup assistant could do it. Use numbered steps, note where to find each thing, and list the mistakes to avoid. Here’s how I do it today: [paste]

20Check the AI’s work

Review the text below for factual claims, names, dates, numbers and anything that could embarrass my executive. List each one I should double-check before sending. Text: [paste]

Before you paste: a safe-use checklist

  • Use only AI tools your company has approved. Ask IT which ones, and share this list with them.
  • Never paste passwords, financial account details, health information, or anything marked confidential.
  • Leave out names and details the task doesn’t need. “A board member” usually works as well as the name.
  • Check every fact, date, number and name before anything goes out under your executive’s name.
  • You stay the sender. AI drafts; you decide what is sent.
