Magic

Dedicated assistants available around the clock are the core of Magic, a virtual executive assistant service for entrepreneurs, executives, startups and high-growth companies.

Magic hands off work such as administrative duties, customer service, travel arrangements and meeting scheduling to a person rather than a piece of software you have to configure yourself.

AI sits behind the service.

Magic uses it to speed up internal processes, and the company says it keeps training its assistants on an ongoing basis, so the quality of the help depends on both the people and the tooling.

The company also offers apps alongside the assistants.

This is closer to hiring remote help than to installing an AI assistant, which suits busy founders and small teams who would rather delegate whole tasks than automate them one by one.

It also covers email and meeting-related work, so one service can take on several recurring chores.
