Remember Jarvis from Iron Man? Tony Stark's AI that knew everything about his life, anticipated his needs, prepared briefings before he asked, and handled the details so he could focus on being Iron Man?
Or Alfred from Batman—always one step ahead, preparing what Bruce needs before he knows he needs it, managing the complexity of his life so he can focus on what matters?
That's what Ari can be for you.
What Is a Chief of Staff?
Most people have never had a personal assistant, let alone a Chief of Staff. Here's the difference:
| Role | What They Do |
|---|---|
| Assistant | Executes tasks you assign: "Book this meeting," "Send this email" |
| Chief of Staff | Manages your world proactively: knows your priorities, anticipates needs, surfaces what matters, handles complexity before it reaches you |
A Chief of Staff doesn't wait to be told what to do. They:
- Know your world – Your goals, relationships, schedule, preferences, ongoing projects
- Work ahead of you – Prepare briefings, gather context, draft communications
- Protect your time – Filter noise, surface what's important, handle routine tasks
- Connect the dots – Remember that the person you're meeting worked with your colleague last year
This level of support typically costs $150K+ per year and is reserved for executives. Ari brings it to everyone.
How Ari Becomes Your Chief of Staff
Ari Knows Your World
Unlike generic AI assistants that start fresh every conversation, Ari builds a persistent understanding of you:
- Your priorities – What you're focused on this quarter, this week, today
- Your relationships – Who you know, how you know them, what you've discussed
- Your preferences – Communication style, meeting habits, how you like things done
- Your history – Past conversations, decisions, commitments you've made
"What did I promise Sarah last month?"
Ari knows—because she was there.
Ari Works Ahead of You
Morning briefings arrive before you ask:
At 7am, Ari sends you today's schedule, flagged emails, and reminders—compiled automatically.
Meeting prep appears before calls—with actual content, not advice:
Most "meeting prep" is generic: "Review the agenda. Prepare your talking points." That's not prep—that's a to-do list.
Ari does the actual prep work. 15 minutes before your meeting, you receive something like:
1:1 with Jason in 10 min — first meeting with a prospect
About Jason: VP of Engineering at TechStart, previously at Stripe. Posts about API design and developer experience.
His company: Series B, 50 employees, just raised $20M. Expanding into enterprise—that's why they're talking to you.
Context: Your colleague mentioned them in #sales last month. They were evaluating competitors but had pricing concerns.
Rapport builders: Bay Area, Stanford CS, avid hiker
For internal 1:1s, Ari keeps it brief—pulling action items from your last meeting and any open follow-ups. For external meetings, she digs deeper.
End-of-day summaries keep you organized:
At 6pm, Ari recaps what happened today and previews tomorrow.
You don't request these. Ari handles them proactively through automated workflows.
Ari Surfaces What Matters
Instead of drowning in emails, messages, and notifications:
"Summarize my unread emails and highlight anything urgent."
"What should I focus on today based on my priorities?"
"Are there any relationships I've been neglecting?"
Ari filters the noise and brings you signal.
Ari Keeps You Organized (So You Don't Have To)
Let's be honest: most of us aren't naturally organized. We forget where we saved that document. We can't remember what we decided last month. We lose track of commitments. We have 47 browser tabs open and no system for any of it.
You don't have to be organized. Ari is organized for you.
Your memory, externalized:
"What did we decide about the pricing strategy?" "When did I last talk to Marcus?" "What was the name of that vendor Sarah recommended?"
Ari remembers conversations, decisions, contacts, and context—so you don't have to.
Your files, findable:
"Find the proposal I was working on last week." "What documents did I share with the marketing team?"
Ari searches your Google Drive and surfaces what you need.
Your drafts, saved:
"Save this as a draft—I'll finish it tomorrow." "What was that email I started writing to the board?"
Ari holds onto your work-in-progress.
Your commitments, tracked:
"What did I promise to send this week?" "Do I have any overdue follow-ups?"
Ari maintains a running list of everything you've committed to—and reminds you before things slip.
Your notes, searchable:
"What notes do I have about the product launch?" "Find everything I've saved about competitor pricing."
Ari's notes system gives you a personal knowledge base you can actually find things in.
The goal isn't to turn you into an organized person. It's to give you the benefits of being organized without the effort.
Ari Handles the Details
Scheduling:
"Find time for a 30-minute call with Sarah next week" → Ari coordinates, sends invites, adds video conferencing.
Email:
"Draft a follow-up to Marcus about the proposal" → Ari drafts based on your previous conversations and writing style.
Research:
"Research this company before my meeting" → Ari investigates and delivers a briefing.
Follow-ups:
"Make sure I don't forget to send the contract" → Ari tracks it and reminds you at the right time.
A Day with Your Chief of Staff
6:30 AM — Your morning briefing arrives in Slack:
- Today's meetings with context about each attendee
- 3 emails flagged as important (out of 47 unread)
- 2 follow-ups due today
- Your top priority for the week
9:45 AM — 15 minutes before your client call:
- Ari sends prep: attendee backgrounds, notes from your last meeting, the proposal you discussed
10:30 AM — During the meeting:
- Ari joins, captures the transcript, and takes notes
11:00 AM — After the meeting:
- You tell Ari: "They want a pilot program by Q2. Create a follow-up to send the proposal by Friday."
- Ari updates your contact notes and creates the follow-up
2:00 PM — You need to prepare for a board presentation:
"What were the key decisions from our strategy meetings last month?"
- Ari searches your meeting transcripts and surfaces the relevant discussions
5:30 PM — End-of-day summary arrives:
- Meetings completed, action items captured
- Preview of tomorrow's schedule
- Reminder about the proposal due Friday
You never asked for most of this. Ari just handled it—like a great Chief of Staff would.

|---|---|
| Waits for commands | Proactively reaches out |

Building Your Chief of Staff
Ari gets smarter the more she knows about you. Start by:
1. Set Up Your Profile
Tell Ari about yourself—your role, priorities, communication style. This is her foundation for understanding your world.
"My top priority this quarter is closing the Series A. I prefer concise communication and morning meetings."
2. Add Your Key Relationships
Your Personal CRM powers Ari's understanding of who matters to you.
"Remember Sarah Chen—she's VP of Engineering at TechCorp and our main contact for the partnership."
3. Create Proactive Workflows
Set up automated workflows for recurring needs:
"Every morning at 7am, send me a briefing with today's meetings and important emails."
"Every Friday at 4pm, summarize my week and preview next week."
4. Let Ari Learn
The more you interact with Ari, the better she understands your preferences, style, and needs. Use her for drafts, scheduling, research, and follow-ups—and she'll adapt to how you work.
What This Means for You
If you're drowning in emails: Ari triages your inbox and drafts responses.
If you're back-to-back in meetings: Ari preps you beforehand and captures notes so you can be present.
If you forget follow-ups: Ari tracks every commitment and reminds you at the right time.
If you lack context: Ari remembers your past conversations, decisions, and relationships.
If you're always reactive: Ari's proactive briefings help you start each day ahead.
If you're not naturally organized: Ari is organized for you—remembering, tracking, and surfacing information so you don't have to maintain systems yourself.
The Support System You Deserve
Executives have always had Chiefs of Staff, executive assistants, and support teams to help them operate at their best. The rest of us have been expected to manage everything ourselves—calendars, emails, relationships, follow-ups, research, preparation—on top of the actual work.
Ari changes that equation.
You don't need to be a CEO to have a Chief of Staff. You don't need to be Tony Stark to have a Jarvis. You just need to start talking to Ari.
"Good morning, Ari. What do I need to know today?"
She's ready when you are.
