AI chief of staff: cost, role, and fit
A chief of staff keeps the executive’s calendar, inbox, and priorities aligned. An AI chief of staff does the same work with software: triage, briefing memos, scheduling, and follow-through across email and chat.
Cost context
A human chief of staff often costs $120,000 to $200,000 per year plus benefits. Joshu is $95/month after a 14-day free trial, with no token fees. It's aimed at founders and executives who need leverage without hiring a full-time role.
What Joshu covers
- Morning inbox briefs and draft replies
- CC-on-thread scheduling across Google Calendar and Outlook
- Research summaries and file hand-offs via Notion or Google Drive
