AI for Executive Assistants
AI for executive assistants
who keep the mailbox under control
AI for executive assistants is built for the job you actually do: answer in someone else's voice, chase what they promised, and surface the thread before the meeting. Zentor drafts inside the Gmail you were given—using the conversation in front of you, not a blank chat box. A person still sends. Outlook is not connected. Nothing leaves as them unless someone explicitly asks. Newsletters can be listed for you to drop; quiet sent threads can be listed with a short nudge draft beside each one. The mailbox stays theirs. The control stays with whoever owns the send.
The problem
Where a shared inbox breaks without AI for executive assistants
The inbox is not yours
You write as them. The commitments are theirs. A reply that sounds like you, or a promise you cannot find in sent mail, is the failure mode. Generic chat tools start from a blank box; the draft has to come from their thread, in the voice of the mailbox you connected, and stay unsent until someone who owns that reputation reads it.
The promise is buried in sent mail
They told a client the file would go out Thursday. That sentence sits under everything that arrived since. Calendar does not store the wording. Slack has a different cut of the story. Memory is not a system—and the person who needs the exact quote is usually you, ten minutes before the call.
The meeting is soon and the thread is not
The meeting is in an hour. You need the quote, the date, and what was already promised. Hunting the inbox is the work that should already be done. AI for executive assistants should answer from the mail itself—cited, not invented—so you walk in with the facts instead of reconstructing them from memory.
Newsletters sit on top of real work
The mailbox you run is also full of lists they signed up for years ago. The client note is under that pile. Clearing noise is a different job from writing the reply: list the senders that are never opened, let a person pick which ones to leave, and never treat that list as a phishing verdict.
You cannot send on a guess
A wrong tone, a wrong date, or a mail that left before anyone looked is your problem, not the tool's. Drafts must wait. Autopilot that sends as the exec without an explicit ask is the opposite of control. Zentor's default is a Gmail draft. Sending is a separate step.
You do not need another mailbox or another dashboard. You need AI for executive assistants that finishes the prep work—drafts that wait, promises you can find, and a list of what still needs a person.

What AI for executive assistants does in that inbox
Draft in their voice, from the thread
The reply is written from the conversation in front of you, in the voice of the mailbox you connected, and saved as a Gmail draft. Someone still sends it. That is the difference between a writing toy and AI for executive assistants who cannot afford a wrong send.
Track what they promised
Sent mail is checked for what they said they would do, and for threads where the last message is still theirs. You get a list and a short draft nudge beside each quiet thread—not a new CRM, not a second inbox, and not a message that left overnight.
Ask the inbox before the meeting
Ask what was quoted, and when it was promised. The answer comes from the mail, with the thread to open, not from a chat window that has never seen the account. Prep becomes lookup, not archaeology.
Lists you can drop—on purpose
Newsletters they never open can be listed. You pick which ones to leave. That is not a phishing filter, not bulk delete, and not a claim that a message is safe. Control stays with the person who runs the mailbox.
Drafts stay drafts. Control stays with the person who sends.
You send.
They stay in control.
Zentor writes the draft in the connected Gmail. Sending is a separate step, and it does not happen unless someone explicitly asks. That matters when the signature on the mail is not yours. AI for executive assistants only helps if the reputation risk stays human—wrong tone, wrong date, or a premature send is still a person's problem to prevent, which is why the default is a waiting draft.
Gmail only—on purpose
The mailbox has to be given to Zentor by the person who owns it. Outlook is not connected. Zentor does not take over a mailbox it was not given, does not invent a second client, and does not claim to be a phishing filter. It drafts replies in their voice, lists quiet threads with nudge drafts, answers lookup questions from the mail itself, and waits. That is the whole product boundary for AI for executive assistants on this page.
Real examples
Real prompts. Real results.
Three things executive assistants try first. Each one ends in a draft or a list—not an autopilot send as the exec. Product shape: the AI email assistant. If you came from a client comparison, see the Superhuman alternative. Neighboring patterns live on our use cases page.
Reply in their voice
"Tell Zentor: "Draft a reply to this client in the voice of this mailbox. Keep the tone short and decisive. Do not send it.""
A Gmail draft waiting in the thread, written from the conversation and the mailbox voice—not a blank template. You (or the exec) read it and send when it is right.
Who has not replied
"Tell Zentor: "List mail sent from this mailbox in the last two weeks that still has no reply, and draft a short nudge for each. Do not send them.""
A list of quiet threads with a short draft beside each one. Nothing leaves until a person decides the nudge is fair.
Before the meeting
"Tell Zentor: "What did we quote them, and when did we say the revised scope would go out? Cite the thread.""
The facts pulled from the mail, with the thread to open—so the meeting starts from what was actually promised, not from memory.

FAQ
Common questions
Can an assistant use AI for executive assistants on someone else's Gmail?
Only if that person connects the mailbox. Zentor does not take over a mailbox it was not given. Access is explicit, not assumed.
Will it send as them?
Not by default. Drafts wait in Gmail. Sending is a separate, explicit ask. That is the control model for AI for executive assistants who protect someone else's reputation.
Does it work in Outlook?
No. Zentor connects to Gmail only. Outlook is not supported.
What should it not do unsupervised?
Do not let it mail a client, accept a meeting, or decline a commitment without a person looking. Keep human-in-the-loop for anything that binds the exec.
How much does it cost?
Pro is $14.99/month with 1,500 credits each billing period; Power and Max carry more. See our pricing page for the full breakdown.
Can it clear the newsletters?
It can list senders that are never opened. You pick which ones to unsubscribe. It does not delete mail unless you ask, and it does not decide that a message is a scam. It is not a phishing filter.
Is this the same as a shared inbox tool?
No. Shared inbox products are built for team assignment on one address: who owns the ticket, who marks it done. Zentor drafts in one connected Gmail, in that mailbox's voice, and leaves the send to a person. It does not replace Front-, Missive-, or Hiver-style assignment workflows.

That hub lists jobs; this page is for assistants who run someone else's mailbox.
