What the work actually involves

You'll be on live, one-on-one sessions playing the role you already know: the person who absorbs a messy request and turns it into a plan. A counterpart — sometimes a human researcher, sometimes a model you're conversing with — will bring scenarios drawn from real assistant work: a double-booked morning, a flight that moved and broke three downstream commitments, a principal who says "just handle it" without saying what it is. Your job is to respond the way you would on a Tuesday afternoon: ask the one clarifying question that matters, name the tradeoff, propose the sequence, and say what you'd drop.

The value you provide is reasoning made audible. Models are fluent at listing calendar tips; they're weak at knowing that a 20-minute buffer before a board meeting is non-negotiable while a standing 1:1 can slip twice before it becomes a problem. That judgment — preference-tracking, escalation instincts, knowing whose time is the constraint — is the actual deliverable.

What the platform screens for

  • Verifiable assistant history. Who you supported, for how long, calendar volume, whether you had authority to decline on someone's behalf. Titles vary (EA, chief of staff, household manager); specifics don't.
  • Prioritization under conflict. Screens present competing urgent items and listen for whether you reason about consequences or just reshuffle the grid.
  • Spoken clarity. These are conversational sessions. Rambling, filler, and unstructured answers surface fast in an audio screen.
  • Guideline adherence. Project rubrics constrain what you may assume, invent, or volunteer. Contributors who improvise past the brief get flagged.

Logistics

Contractor, fully remote, US-based. Sessions are scheduled rather than fully async — expect to book blocks and hold them, often during US business hours to overlap with project staff. Hours are project-dependent and can taper when a batch closes; treat it as supplemental rather than a replacement for a full-time role. The $50–100/hr band is what contributors have reported, not a guaranteed rate; placement within it tracks seniority and project tier. A quiet room and a decent microphone are working requirements, not preferences.
