Personal Assistant

Owns the personal admin that piles up: reminders that land, trips on your calendar, research you can act on, errands on the web, and replies drafted in your own inbox.

  • Reports to you, under the name you give it
  • Personal or business workspace
  • Works in your own inbox
  • Phone: none of its own; texts reminders to you

Work history

No published record for the Personal Assistant on its own yet. Across every role, the beta cohort’s figures are on the homepage, labelled as platform-wide.

Before you hire

Does it get its own email address or phone number?

No. A Personal Assistant works through your own inbox: it drafts, you approve, and the reply goes out as you. Its own address and number start with the Executive Assistant.

Can it call or text other people?

No. It can text reminders to you once you’ve verified your mobile. Calls and texts to other people are the Executive Assistant.

Can it spend money?

No. It can fill in a booking or a form on the web, but checkout is yours: it hands you the live view and you pay. Purchases, with your approval at checkout, start with the Chief of Staff.

Does it read my banking or medical email?

Mail in your inbox from banks, tax offices, insurers, healthcare providers and law firms, or with subjects like statements, tax forms and one-time codes, is recognised by its sender and subject and skipped before the AI that reads and drafts sees it. When a message’s body looks like it holds personal identifiers, a short excerpt is checked by a classification model first.

How do I get access?

Request access from this page. You create an account, then enter an invitation code if you have one, or tell us what you need. The Atona team reviews every request and replies by email.

What happens once I’m in?
