AI Executive Assistant Setup

Practical help with your day-to-day work.

An AI assistant built around your day-to-day work, with files you own. It helps draft replies, prepare briefs and organise next steps from the information you provide. You check every result before it goes out.

Watch it run

This is my own setup, running my real business.

A demonstration of my own setup. It includes connections and scheduled jobs beyond the customer starter setup. We agree and test what your version will do before building it.

The morning brief Meeting prep Follow-ups chased Quotes drafted
Ships with every tier

Every tier includes these automations.

They come as standard, and they don't count against the 2, 6, or 12 you choose from the menu.

The business brain

A private record of how your business runs, kept in files you own.

Self-updating memory

Updates approved notes when due while you use the app.

Document intake

Ask it to read a quote or note you provide.

Drafts in your voice

Use approved writing examples so drafts follow your tone.

Weekly health check

Checks for stale notes and setup issues when due while you use the app.

How it works

Two to three weeks, and very little of it's your time.

1

The first call

A free 30-minute call. We find the work that costs you most, and I tell you honestly if this isn't a fit.

2

Setup

In 2-3 weeks I build the automation around your inbox, files, quotes, and tone, then send you the files and walk you through setting them up.

3

Handover

You approve everything it sends. I train you, then it's yours.

One setup fee. No subscription to me, no price rise next year. If you stop the care plan, everything keeps working - you own it.

One-off fee. You own the system. Care plan optional, USD 295 a month - maintenance and improvements, not rent.

You stay in control

Useful help, clear boundaries.

You approve everything before it goes out

Emails, messages, and follow-ups wait for your sign-off. Nothing external leaves without it.

It can read, it can't send until you say so

I connect only the sources you choose and start with the safest access I can.

Nothing sends itself

It drafts, prepares, and reminds. You stay the one who presses send.

What it won't do

No trading, no payments, no posting in your name. The routine work, not the decisions that are yours.

More detail: the real risks of AI customer communication, and the controls.

Who sets it up.

Matt Wills

I'm Matt Wills. Before Quietly Smart, I spent 15 years running creative teams - Dark Horse Comics, theme parks, and licensing. I built this system to run my own business first, and it still does, every day. I only set up the thing I use myself.

Setup happens over video calls and your own screen, so where you are is rarely the problem. There's no team behind this, and I answer every message myself.

Straight answers

The questions owners actually ask.

What can it do without asking me?

Nothing external. It prepares briefs, drafts, reminders, and prep packs, but anything that leaves your business waits for your approval. You stay the one who presses send.

What will it not do?

No trading, no payments, no posting in your name. It handles admin and preparation, not the decisions that are yours to make.

What does it run on?

Your own computer, using the files and information you provide. I check your email, calendar and tools before agreeing any connections. Where a connection is not supported, I explain the manual step.

What is it built on, and what do I maintain?

The core setup uses Claude Code or Codex on your own computer and your own AI account. You keep paying for that subscription. Day to day, you provide current notes and documents, ask for the work you need and review drafts. Other connections, schedules and costs are agreed before building. The optional care plan covers agreed fixes and maintenance.

What if I'm not around?

Quietly Smart is me, so it's a fair question. The system sits on your computer, is written up in plain English, and you own it outright. It carries on working whether or not I'm involved. If you want someone else to take it over one day, everything they need is already in your files.

What is the care plan?

Optional, USD 295 a month, the same on every tier. It covers maintenance and improvements, not rent. If you stop the care plan the system keeps working - you own it either way.

How long does setup take?

Two to three weeks from the first call to handover. See the week-by-week timeline.
