CEOs Are Connecting AI to Their Mail and Calendar — Do They Still Need an Executive Assistant?

CEOs are increasingly connecting AI tools such as Claude and other platforms directly to their email, calendars, documents, and workflows.

They can find information buried in an inbox, draft a response, summarize a document, prepare for a meeting, pull together numbers, and even organize information for a presentation — all in seconds.

No waiting. No back-and-forth. No delegation required.

So the question is no longer hypothetical: If AI can do many of the tasks traditionally handled by an executive assistant, what is the assistant's role now?
