Our Personal Executive Assistant has one monthly price. Websites, business systems, custom applications and onsite AI audits are scoped and quoted after a 15-minute call.
Your assistant lives in a private Telegram conversation. It brings your morning brief, email drafts, calendar and reminders together, with a second brain that remembers the context. We handle setup, account connections, hosting and ongoing support.

An AI assistant is not a like-for-like replacement for a person. Here is what each one does.
| A human personal assistant | Personal Executive Assistant | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | About R5,700 to R23,800 a month in salary, before employer costs such as UIF, leave and equipment. | R6,000 a month, plus R4,000 once-off setup. The first 10 clients pay no setup fee. |
| Can write and send email on your behalf. | Prepares replies as drafts in your own mailbox. You review and send them. | |
| Money | Can be given access to pay bills. | Can log a payment you tell it about and remind you when a bill is due. It has no bank access and never moves money. |
| Where the work happens | In person: at your office, on errands and in meetings. | In a private Telegram text conversation on your phone. Nothing in person. |
| Context | Learns your world over time. | Keeps a second brain of the people, preferences, projects and decisions you share with it. |
The assistant takes on drafting, briefs, reminders and diary admin. Anything that needs a person in the room, sending on your behalf or access to your bank stays with you or your team.
