Put AI to work—one measurable workflow at a time.

All AI employee roles

An AI executive assistant that guards your calendar and your focus

Founders drown in coordination: scheduling, inbox triage, meeting notes, follow-ups, and the small admin that fills a day without moving the business. A great EA fixes this but is a senior salary. This stack covers the mechanical layer — taking notes and action items in every meeting, drafting email replies, organizing your inbox, and helping you plan the week — so you get hours back. Where it stops: it can't exercise real discretion about priorities, handle sensitive relationships, or make decisions on your behalf, and you'll want to review anything it drafts before it goes out. That honesty is below. Every tool price shown is live with dated evidence, and the $99 one-time setup unlocks the plan that ties the workflow together — meeting capture, email drafting, planning prompts — with an optional $29/month subscription to keep it current.

AI stack vs hiring — what you'd keep

Compare the yearly cost of a hire against the AI tool stack that does the repetitive work.

Hiring: Executive assistant$96,434 / year
AI stack (Coach & Consultant)$339+ / year

This stack includes usage-based pricing, so the exact monthly cost depends on volume — see the live prices below.

This compares cost only, and deliberately understates hiring (it excludes recruiting, onboarding, equipment, software, and management overhead). An AI stack does specific tasks with your oversight — it doesn't replace judgment, relationships, or accountability. The plan is a one-time cost added to year one.

What an AI executive assistant can't do

The honest limits. This is a tool with your oversight, not a person.

  • Decide your priorities — it organizes, you choose.
  • Handle sensitive or confidential relationships with real discretion.
  • Make commitments or decisions on your behalf.
  • Replace the trust and context of a long-term human EA.
  • Be sent unreviewed on anything that matters.

Questions about an AI executive assistant

Will it join my meetings?

The meeting tool in the stack records and transcribes calls, then extracts action items. You control which meetings it joins.

Is my data private?

You choose tools with clear data policies, and the template flags privacy considerations. Sensitive workflows can use a local option where noted.

Can it send emails for me?

It drafts; you approve. That keeps your voice and judgment on every message that leaves your name.

And what does Dapols cost?

The tool prices on this page are paid to those vendors, monthly, for as long as you use them. This is the separate — and much smaller — cost of the plan that works out which of them you actually need and wires them together.

$99

once, to unlock your plan

The tools, the prompts, the connectors and the order to set them up in, customized to your answers and reviewed by a person before it reaches you. It does not renew, and we keep no card for a later charge.
$29

a month, optional and later

Only if you want the plan kept current as these prices move. We ask about a month in — you start it, we never start it for you, and stopping it leaves the plan you bought exactly as it is.
