The Assistant

Sadhbh the red squirrel — yours gets the name you choose

The colleague a freelancer never had. Quietly runs the week so the work gets the attention.

A right hand for people who work alone: diary, invoices, chasing.

Working alone means being the accountant, the receptionist and the PA after 6pm. This one takes the after-6pm half.

What it does

  1. 01

    Keeps the diary honest — books, reschedules, and guards your focus hours

  2. 02

    Sends your invoices the day the work ships, and chases them politely

  3. 03

    Clears the small stuff: confirmations, reminders, the repeat questions

On something older or in-house? It reads a shared sheet instead — how it plugs in.

Questions people ask

I'm a one-person business. Isn't this overkill?

It is the opposite: a team of ten can absorb admin, a team of one cannot. The Assistant exists precisely for the person whose billable hours and admin hours are the same hours.

What does an AI assistant for a freelancer cost?

€2.50 per task closed, with a €45 quiet-month minimum and a hard stop at €350 however busy the month gets. There is no monthly plan to sign — you pay for work done.

Can it invoice through my accounting tool?

Stripe and sheet-based invoicing work today; Xero and friends are confirmed on the setup call. Sending is always from your own address, disclosed as an assistant.
