6. Can my assistant handle scheduling?
Absolutely. Your assistant can coordinate meetings, schedule appointments, and manage your calendar with ease!

7. Can my assistant make purchases on my behalf?
Yes! Your assistant can place orders, make purchases, and schedule payments safely and securely. To share credit card information, passwords, and other sensitive data, simply have your assistant collect your information over the phone. This way, we can ensure your information remains safe. At Alpha Assistant, we are committed to your security!

For your safety we require written confirmation on all purchases over $500 and we restrict purchases over $3,000 USD. This means if you need your assistant to purchase a product for over $500, they will first have to email you a summary of the purchase. Once our assistant receives a confirmation reply regarding this summary (this can be as simple as “okay”), they can then make the purchase. We realize this may slightly lengthen the process, but we do so to protect you from small oversights that can lead to costly mistakes.

8. Can my assistant make and receive phone calls for me?
We are happy to make and receive any calls you need. We simply encourage proper instruction and initial monitoring to ensure it’s what you’re looking for.

9. Can my assistant keep my inbox organized?
Indeed! Delegating your email inbox to your assistant on your behalf is a great way to stay on top of email and keep your inbox tidy.

10. Can my assistant edit and format a presentation for me?
Certainly! Our assistants are well-versed in Microsoft Office products. We can format and edit personal or business presentations with your provided content, images and detailed instructions.

11. Can my assistant work with specialized software?
All of our assistants go through an in-depth certification process to ensure they can best serve you from the start. While we do not offer specific training for specialized software, our assistants are more than happy to learn if you are able to provide instruction.

12. Can my assistant do design, video or audio work?
Your assistant can certainly provide work to the best to their ability. However, with extremely technical tasks it may be best for your assistant to research and find the best possible specialist for your needs.

13. Do my hours roll over?
Unfortunately our arrangements do not rollover. However, we are happy to work with you to discuss in-depth how many hours are suitable for you.

14. Can my assistant work on the weekend or at night?
