What it does, what it never does, and what we sign.
What a digital secretary does and never decides, the Friday Report, the two ways to hand things over, and what we sign.
← Back to the rosterWhat a digital secretary does, and what it never does.
Text it or talk to it. Calendars, lists, bookings, reminders, research and drafts, on the apps you already use.
Ends inA calendar entry, a booking link, a draft waiting for you, a line on the Friday Report.
Nothing medical, legal or financial. No money moves. No message to a child. No plan of yours changed on its own.
InsteadIt finds, drafts and reminds. The plan stays with you, or with your doctor, your accountant, your lawyer.
Not the nanny, the cleaner or your partner. It starts with work nobody in your house does today.
InsteadIt takes the things that fall through the cracks, the ones that never had a person.
This is for you if
- Somebody keeps your work calendar and your work inbox, and nobody keeps the personal ones.
- A list lives in one person’s head: school forms, refills, renewals, the trip. Nobody is assigned to it.
- You want the list kept and the calls left to you. It books, reminds, logs and drafts, and hands you every decision.
This is not for you if
- Someone you already pay does this, like a family assistant or a nanny. We don’t put a secretary where they already work.
- You want someone to phone the cable company or stand in a line. Nobody here does; it drafts, books online and reminds.
- You want it to decide a dose, a plan, a purchase, or anything about a child. It never does.

Every Friday, in writing.
Every Friday, the person named in your agreement sends one signed page: what got done, what was handed to you or to a human, and what the review caught.
Where it could only draft, the note says so. “Done” is only written when it is.
- Booked
- What went onto the calendar or the list this week.
- Handed to you
- Every draft waiting for you, and every decision it put back in your hands.Nothing here goes out until you send it.
- Reminded
- The dates it put in front of you, and when.
- Handed to a human
- Anything your Standing Orders say a person decides.Counted here, every week.
- Mistakes found and fixed
- What the review caught and corrected.On every report, even when empty.
- Read by
- The person named in your agreement. Daily for the first two weeks, weekly after.
Two applications in your life.
Add. Start with what nobody's doing.
The school calendar, the refills, the paperwork, the trip nobody books. Work that falls to whoever notices last, usually the same person.
Then the things you do at 11pm.
The forms, the bookings, the thank-yous. Handed over one at a time, by your decision.
Everything is in writing before anything is built.
- Job spec
- One job in writing: what it keeps, the apps it works in, its hours, and how you’ll know on Sunday night that it worked.
- Human Line
- The written list of what stays human. You sign it; it is enforced by withholding the permission, and only a person can change it.
- Named people
- Who it texts, by name, and the person here who reads its work.
- Supervised start
- Prerequisites in: orders signed, access granted. Built: about seven business days. Two supervised weeks: you approve every item. Accepted: your written yes, the only thing that lets it send. About five weeks in all.
- Friday Report
- One page a week: booked, handed to you, reminded, handed to a human, mistakes found and fixed.
- Terms
- Month to month. One email ends it. The first 30 days are probation: replaced at our cost, or released.
-
It never pretends to be a person.
It says it’s an AI assistant in its first sentence and in the signature of anything it writes. Ask for a person and you get one, free.
-
Nothing leaves your house until you say so.
Drafting. Weeks one and two. No send tool is wired. Every item waits for your tap, and anything untouched expires unsent.
Per-item approval. Your choice after week two. It can send, but proposes every item for your tap first.
Bounded sending. Only on a written yes naming the bounds: which messages, to whom, which hours, how many a day. Outside them it proposes again. One email narrows or ends it.
Whichever mode it is in, the Friday Report names the mode and what went out under it.
-
A named person reads its work.
One person, named in your agreement, with the authority to stop it. Daily for the first two weeks, weekly after. Not a queue, and not the software reading itself.
-
Two clocks: its hours, and ours.
Its hours. It works the hours you set. We keep business hours.
Stopping it yourself. Take back any permission in your own calendar, sheet or messaging app, at any hour, and it cannot act.
Or tell us. Reply STOP to any Friday Report, or call. Sending stays off until you turn it back on in writing.
Not claimed: an uptime figure, a reply time, or someone awake at 3am. Today this is a phone, an email, one named reviewer, and access you control.
-
The rules it cannot break, and the ones we check.
No card on file, no bank login, no way to message your children: those tools are never wired.
For the tools it does hold, every action is checked against what you wrote down, and anything that fails stops and texts your named person. Only you change the list, in writing.
-
What it reads is never an instruction.
Emails, web pages and replies are material, never orders. If something it reads tells it to send, change a rule or skip a check, it stops and shows a person.
-
Two evenings of your time, then a supervised start.
Your calendars and apps, the twenty things that come up most, and what stays human. About seven business days to build, then two supervised weeks.
-
You can end it in one email.
Month to month, no exit fee, and your lists and logs are yours. The first 30 days are probation: replaced at our cost, or released.
Not a doctor, a therapist, an adviser, a lawyer, or a parent. It organizes, reminds, books, logs and drafts. The decision stays with you or your professional, even after sending is switched on.
If the job grows. Your agreement sets an allowance, like bookings a month, and nothing inside it is metered. Over it two months running, we offer the next size up, or no change.
What it costs. A flat monthly rate per role, by workload, quoted in writing for your actual week before anything is built. No price here could be that quote, so we don’t print one.
The liability terms live in the agreement. Ask before you sign, not after. OnlyHire.ai is a venture of My Founding Partner.
The questions a household asks first.
Will it talk to my kids?
No. No tool that can message a child is ever wired. Anything about a child goes to the parent you named.
Will it talk to my doctor, or the school, as me?
No. Every message to a third party is a draft you send, unless you switch on sending in writing. Then it says it’s an AI assistant first.
We’re an Apple house. Does that matter?
Yes. It can’t reach iCloud calendars, Reminders or iMessage today, so it uses a Google or Outlook calendar and WhatsApp or Telegram. We say so before anything is built.
What happens when it gets something wrong?
The Friday Report lists mistakes found and fixed. For two weeks your named person reads every action daily; after that, weekly.
Is my health and money information safe with you?
It logs only what you dictate, into your own calendar, sheet or notes. It never reads a patient portal or bank login, and can’t move money. Retention is set in the agreement.
The job nobody in your house is doing can still get done.
You get a written plan from a person here, then a quote. It does not start anything.
