# What is an AI chief of staff?

> An AI chief of staff is a personal AI that handles high-level coordination - inbox triage, scheduling, follow-ups, prep, and research - the way a human chief of staff would, for founders and busy professionals.

A chief of staff removes friction before you feel it: deciding what needs your attention, drafting the reply, prepping the meeting, and chasing the follow-up. An AI chief of staff does this continuously and instantly.

It works best with memory and integrations - it has to know your priorities and connect to your email, calendar, and tools to actually take work off your plate, not just remind you of it.
