    What an AI Chief of Staff does

    An AI chief of staff drafts your email replies, checks your calendar and adds events, keeps your reminders and follow-ups, and researches what you ask about. It does work, not just answers questions.

    Why founders in particular need one

    Founder time is the most constrained resource in any startup. A chief of staff is the highest-leverage hire - but the salary ($180K-$300K) is prohibitive for early-stage founders. An AI chief of staff fills the gap at a fraction of the cost.

    How Cole works as your Chief of Staff

    Cole works in WhatsApp, Slack, iMessage, LINE, Telegram and email, in private chats and group chats, and replies in the language you write in. He remembers what you tell him about your preferences, people and commitments. On paid plans he places the phone calls you ask for, such as a call to a business to ask about a booking.

    Frequently Asked

    FAQ

    Yes. Cole is an AI assistant you message on WhatsApp like a person: ask for reminders, email drafts once you connect Gmail, calendar checks, research and, on paid plans, phone calls. You can also add Cole to a WhatsApp group.

    Cole does: add it to a WhatsApp, LINE, Telegram, iMessage or Slack group and tag it or call it by name (in Telegram, tag @Cole_chief_of_staff_bot, picked from the list after @, or reply to one of Cole's messages). It can post reminders in the group, and it uses each person's own connected accounts, never someone else's.

    Cole is free to start with 150 one-time credits and no card. Paid plans start at $19 a month; see pocodot.ai/pricing.
