Before the day
Prepare briefs, open loops and follow-up priorities.
Use case
AI Chief of Staff.
An always-on workflow for executive coordination.
In Death to the Org Chart, the AI Chief of Staff is not a chatbot with a fancy title. It is a built-in workflow for inbox, diary, meeting briefs, follow-ups and the coordination tax that usually sits around an executive.
During the day
Keep diary, inbox and action trails in sync.
After the meeting
Draft follow-ups and keep decisions from disappearing.
Concise answer
Not an assistant. An operating workflow.
The point is not to imitate a person. The point is to remove coordination drag around the executive.
Inputs
Email, calendar, notes, open loops and meeting context.
Work
Briefs, prioritisation, reminders, drafts and follow-up trails.
Human role
Judgement, tone, sensitive decisions and final accountability stay human.
Questions

What is an AI Chief of Staff?

Judgement, tone, sensitive decisions, relationships and final accountability should stay with the executive or operator.
