An AI Secretary That Handles the Admin So You Can Lead
Email, calendar, messages, follow-ups, research, and admin tasks — your AI secretary handles them all, 24/7, for a fraction of what a human executive assistant costs.
Why BrainRoad
Purpose-built infrastructure for AI agents that work for you
Full Executive Assistant Coverage
Not just email or just scheduling — your AI secretary handles the entire admin stack. Email triage, calendar management, message handling, follow-ups, and research.
Works While You Sleep
A human VA works 8 hours a day. Your AI secretary works 24. Emails answered overnight, meetings confirmed on weekends, follow-ups sent on holidays.
No Privacy Concerns
Unlike a human assistant, your AI secretary does not read your messages out of curiosity, share details with friends, or quit and take your contacts with them.
Sound Familiar?
Problems you shouldn't have to solve manually
Admin work steals your best hours
You became a founder or executive to do meaningful work, but you spend half your day on email, scheduling, and admin tasks that anyone could handle.
Good human VAs are hard to find and keep
Hiring a reliable virtual assistant takes weeks. Training them takes longer. And when they leave, you start over from scratch.
Offshore VAs create timezone gaps
Your VA in the Philippines is asleep when your US clients email. Messages sit unanswered for 8–12 hours while you wait for the next shift.
You cannot justify the cost yet
A quality human executive assistant costs $3,000–$6,000/mo. You know you need help, but the budget is not there for a full-time hire.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an AI secretary cost?
BrainRoad Pro is $29/mo. API usage typically adds $10–$40/mo depending on how many tasks your agent handles. A comparable human VA costs $1,500–$6,000/mo.
Is it hard to get started?
No. BrainRoad has a setup wizard that connects your accounts and configures your agent in about 15 minutes. No technical skills needed — if you can describe what you want in plain English, you can set up your AI secretary.
Can an AI secretary really replace a human assistant?
For 80% of typical admin tasks — yes. Email management, scheduling, follow-ups, reminders, and message handling are all handled reliably. For tasks requiring physical presence or complex judgment calls, you still need a human.
How does it handle tasks it cannot do?
Your AI secretary flags anything it cannot handle and sends you a notification with context. You can set rules for which tasks require your approval and which can be handled autonomously.
Can I use it alongside a human assistant?
Absolutely. Many users have their AI secretary handle the high-volume, routine tasks — email triage, scheduling, reminders — while their human assistant focuses on relationship-heavy work and complex coordination.
