Proxy is a human chief of staff plus an agent.
We only work with the best EAs. Years of judgement, and they know how to use the latest AI tools.
Send the ask in Slack or email. We only ping you when we actually need you.
The agents watch first. Then, slowly, they take over.
Open-source models. Your data stays yours.

- Look at the calendar first. They may already be in a room together.
- Offer two options. Say which one is better for us.
- Always give a fallback, so a no doesn't end the thread.
- Be honest about the cost to the other side. “That's 5 AM for them.”
- Don't move meetings on a Friday.
- When they change something themselves, ask why. Keep the rule.
- Tell them about a mistake before they find it.
