I built an AI agent to be my Executive Assistant.
Summary
AI-generatedLydia Patel demonstrates how to build a custom AI Executive Assistant using Claude and GitHub to automate the 'manual synthesis' of daily hosting and life tasks. She shares her multi-layered tool stack, including Lodgify for STR operations and Baseline for real estate finance, and provides a framework for auditing systems and documenting operational logic to delegate to AI.
Key insights
Productivity is maximized by using niche tools for specific functions (Asana for tasks, Google Calendar for time, Lodgify for STR ops) rather than one 'all-in-one' tool that does everything poorly.
Mistakes to avoid
Treating AI as a one-time build; agents require an 'onboarding' period with consistent feedback and rule refinement to handle edge cases accurately.
