The world of work is changing rapidly, and one of the most significant changes is the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on various industries, including the role of executive assistants and administrative professionals.

Chat GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is one such AI free technology that is increasingly being used in the workplace. Use it to draft emails, contracts, product research, and even in your Excel formulas to reinvent your productivity. We will use ART AI to create logos and graphics for your company.

One of the biggest advantages of using Chat GPT and other AI technologies is that they can automate many of the mundane and repetitive tasks that EAs perform daily. This automation frees up time, allowing EAs to focus on higher-level tasks that require their expertise and strategic thinking. By automating administrative tasks such as scheduling meetings and managing emails, Chat GPT can help EAs be more productive and efficient, enabling them to accomplish more in less time using Microsoft Copilot.
