It triages the inbox, holds your event dates and chases the unpaid speaker invoice. The morning of every gig, you get a one-page brief.

The booking email, the contract, and the invoice are all on you

A keynote inquiry lands at 11pm from a conference in another timezone. They want your fee, your availability for a Thursday in October and your AV rider. If you don't reply before they email the next speaker on their shortlist, the slot is gone. Meanwhile you're three chapters behind on the manuscript, and the last event organizer still hasn't paid the second half of your invoice.

You're the author, the speaker, the publicist and the accounts department.

The assistant takes the parts that don't need you. It reads the inbox and separates a real paid booking inquiry from a podcast pitch or a fan email. It drafts the reply with your fee range and travel terms, then pencils the date onto your calendar as a hold so it can't collide with a book-tour signing.

What it carries for you:

It works from your own inbox and calendar. It remembers that you don't fly red-eyes and that your minimum corporate fee differs from your nonprofit rate, and it pings you only when something needs a human decision.

Frequently asked questions

Will it send emails to organizers without me seeing them first?

Only if you tell it to. By default it drafts replies and waits for your okay. For low-stakes things like a thank-you note or a routine invoice reminder you can let it send on its own, and you pick which categories those are.

I have a manager and a speakers' bureau. Does this replace them?

It works alongside them. It handles the admin that piles up between deals (triage, holds, invoice chasing, briefs) for the direct inquiries that come to your own inbox. Bureau-sourced gigs and negotiation stay with the people who do them.

How does it know my fee for a given inquiry?

You tell it your ranges once, corporate, nonprofit and virtual, plus travel rules, and it remembers. When an inquiry comes in it applies the right one in the draft, and asks you when the situation is ambiguous.

Can it brief me before an event without me digging through the thread?

Yes. From the booking emails it builds a one-page brief with the audience, format, your intro line, the promised AV and arrival logistics. You can have it land in your inbox automatically the morning of the event.

What if I write in two languages or get inquiries from abroad?

It reads and drafts in the language the email came in. A German conference inquiry gets a German reply draft, and you review it the same way.
