Set up an AI assistant for your life admin
“I want one assistant that handles my errands, reminders and paperwork.”
Always-on assistants can juggle email, calendar, errands and reminders. Give them only the access they need, keep one master to-do list, and require your OK for money, sending or signing.
Fix it yourself in 3 steps
- List the 5 chores you'd hand off first, and what the assistant may read versus change.
- Connect only those accounts, and keep one shared list of tasks and decisions.
- Start in 'ask before acting' mode; loosen only after a few weeks of good results.
Copy this prompt
You're my life-admin assistant. Your jobs: [list]. You may read [accounts] and draft in [accounts]. Keep one task list with status. Before paying, buying, sending, signing, or booking anything, ask me first. Each evening, send a summary of what you did and what needs me. Start by proposing a plan for the first job and stop.
Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
