Home / Jobs / Run Admin & Scheduling
Assistants & schedulers, priced at one seat.
This job is three jobs in one coat: executive assistants that work your inbox and calendar, scheduling optimisers that defend your time, and meeting-notes agents that turn calls into searchable text. Most solos need one of the three — each listing says plainly which slice it owns, and every price comes from the vendor’s own page.

What to look for
- Which slice it owns: inbox/calendar assistant, scheduling optimiser, or meeting notes
- Verified 1-seat price and billing period — ignore blog prices in this category entirely
- Calendar and inbox access it requires, and what it does with that data
- Approve-before-acting controls on anything that sends email or moves meetings
- Whether meeting notes feed anywhere useful (CRM, docs, follow-up drafts) or die in the app
Questions, answered
AI assistant or scheduling app — which do I buy first?
Follow the pain. If other people fill your calendar and tasks slip, an optimiser like Motion or Reclaim pays back first. If email, follow-ups and meeting admin fill your day, an assistant like Lindy does. Notes tools are the cheapest add-on and combine with either.
Is it safe to give an agent my inbox and calendar?
It's the most sensitive access on this site, so choose deliberately: prefer tools with approve-before-sending defaults, clear data policies and easy revocation. Each listing states its human-control model. A sensible pattern is to start the agent in draft-only mode for two weeks before letting it act.
Why do prices for these tools differ across websites?
Plans change fast and many roundups are stale or copy each other. We only use the vendor's current pricing page, show the billing period next to every figure, and date-stamp the check. If a price looks different on the vendor's site today, their page wins — tell us via the claim form and we'll re-check.
Do meeting-notes bots annoy clients on calls?
Less than they used to — joining as a visible participant with a recording notice is now normal in business calls, and most tools offer bot-free browser/app recording modes. For sensitive calls, use those modes and get consent. Listings note recording options where vendors publish them.
