0:00What is going on, guys? I just built a

0:02personal assistant agent and it is

0:05insane. Now, if you're like me, you're a

0:08million miles an hour and well, you just

0:11quite simply forget to do things. This

0:13one is for you. So, here is what it's

0:15doing at a very high level. One, it's

0:18checking my emails and it's labeling

0:20them. It's putting them into a folder

0:22for me. Two, it then checks that folder

0:24to make sure that I'm replying to people

0:26when I should be replying to people.

0:29Three, it's then looking at any meetings

0:31that I've had and ensuring that I've

0:32done a follow-up based on that

0:34transcription that's coming in. And then

0:37lastly, it's then looking at all of my

0:39Slack conversations to understand if I

0:41haven't replied to anyone when I should.

0:44So, here's how it basically works. We

0:47have two different agents or multiple

0:49agents running, but two kind of

0:50different aantic workflows. The first

0:52one is what I call the email manager.

0:55And I've had this one for a while, but

0:56I've made it a little bit better.

0:59So, first things first is anytime I get

1:02a new email, this agent is essentially

1:05going to go and read the email and start

1:08to categorize it into uh different kind

1:11of uh categorizations. So, it'll have

1:13like an FYI label to respond label, it's

1:16a marketing email, it's a cold cold

1:18email, it's a notification, whatever it

1:21is. How it's doing this is it's looking

1:23at the context of the email, obviously,

1:26and the the content that it contains.

1:28It's looking to see if I've ever

1:29received an email from them in the past.

1:31It's also looking to see if I've ever

1:32sent them an email. It's also looking at

1:34unsubscribe links, all of that to then

1:36label uh certain things for me where it

1:39then adds that label uh into it. And so,

1:41this is awesome just on its own without

1:43anything here. It's just a great way to

1:45keep on top of your inbox. Now, the

1:47other one that we had was this actual

1:50personal assistant. And so here we're

1:51using four different agents doing

1:53various different things. So every day

1:56at uh 8 a.m. it's going to trigger. And

2:00what happens is first of all we have

2:01this email assistant. This email

2:04assistant is going to go and get any

2:05emails that we have um from the key

2:09folders that have been tagged in the

2:11previous uh agent I showed you. So it's

2:13going to get get any emails from my FYI

2:16and my to respond categories. It's going

2:19to then check to see if I've uh

2:20responded to people. It's going to check

2:22any unread messages and just generally

2:24understand, okay, hey, you need to reply

2:25to XY Z and this is the priority of that

2:28uh replying. Then we're looking at this

2:31follow-up assistant. So, here it's going

2:33to find any meetings that I have had

2:36within the last 3 days and then look up

2:39the transcripts inside of Fireflies, uh,

2:42which is a cool recording software that

2:43I use, and then check to see if I've

2:45sent them any messages. if I haven't, it

2:47can help draft the email and whatnot, or

2:49it can just simply flag that I haven't

2:52uh sent a follow-up email based on that

2:54sales call or whatever it was. And then

2:56we go through into this Slack Assistant

2:59um agent. And so here, it's basically

3:02checking to see if I've received any

3:03DMs. It's checking to see if um uh I've

3:08received any messages in threads or

3:10whatever it is. and then basically

3:13creating an action plan if I need to

3:15reply to anyone from there. Mhm.

3:18>> Lastly, we go through to what we call

3:19like the master orchestrator agent,

3:22which essentially takes all of the

3:23inputs from the previous steps and then

3:28basically compiles this into a lovely

3:30to-do list for me where it then also

3:33stores

3:35um the to-do list and also checks

3:38previous to-dos if I still haven't done

3:40something that I should have done

3:41yesterday and adds that on as well

3:43>> and then sends me a Slack message. And

3:45so the example here is um like how it

3:50comes across. I have my to-dos. I have

3:52the priority summaries. I have the

3:53immediate focus that I need to do in the

3:55next 30 hours uh sorry 30 minutes uh as

3:58well. And if I click into here, you can

4:02see I have the to-dos. So this one was

4:05from yesterday. my max to-dos again

4:08broken down lovely and neatly where it's

4:10then emailing me as well uh as sending

4:14me a Slack notification. So, this has

4:16already saved me. I've rolled this out

4:18the last couple of days and it's already

4:19saved me

4:22I would say well the fact is I wasn't

4:26actually actioning these tasks right so

4:27it's actually enabling me to reply to

4:29people faster so has it saved me time

4:31probably not because it's actually

4:32giving me more stuff to do but it's just

4:34organizing me it's organizing my diary

4:37some iterations that I might do is it

4:40gives me a time estimate that it's going

4:41to take to to achieve these tasks I

4:44might even have it block out um some

4:46time in the diary every day to go over

4:49those admin tasks as
