For Executive Assistants

From email chaos to structured orchestration

Cadence gives EAs a proper coordination workspace. Propose structured daily plans, manage workflows across executives, and move beyond email-based coordination.

The reality

Your tools were never built for this

Executive scheduling is detailed, high-stakes work. Yet most EAs manage it through email, calendar apps, and memory.

No structured tool for day planning

You build your executive's day in your head or scattered notes. No system exists to propose, approve, and track a structured daily plan.

Managing multiple executives via email

Coordination happens in email threads and chat. Context gets lost, status is unclear, nothing is tracked in one place.

No visibility into what's complete

You can't see at a glance what your executive finished today, what carried forward, or what needs to be rescheduled for tomorrow.

The EA workspace

Built for how you actually coordinate

Cadence gives EAs a structured workspace that replaces scattered email coordination.

Propose daily plans for executives

Create structured daily plans with time-blocked work items, meetings, and focus windows. Cadence helps generate an initial draft, which you refine based on your executive's priorities.

  • Plan drafts generated from your calendar and pending items
  • Add, reorder, and time-block work items before proposing
  • One-click submit for executive review and approval

Manage the full plan lifecycle

Every daily plan moves through a clear lifecycle: Draft, Proposed, Approved, Active, and Closed. You always know the status. Your executive always knows what to expect.

  • Draft plans privately before proposing to your executive
  • Track approval status with clear state transitions
  • Close plans at end of day with completion tracking

Multi-executive management from one dashboard

Supporting multiple executives shouldn't mean multiple tabs and email threads. Cadence lets you manage all your executives from one workspace.

  • See all assigned executives and their plan status at a glance
  • Switch between executives without losing context
  • Each executive's preferences, drivers, and plans stay separate

Quick actions and structured workflows

Common actions are always one click away. Create a plan, add work items, propose to your executive, carry forward unfinished tasks. Every workflow is structured.

  • Quick-action panel for common EA tasks
  • Structured workflows replace ad-hoc coordination
  • Keyboard shortcuts for power users

Multi-executive support

One EA. Multiple executives. One workspace.

Support one executive or five. Cadence gives you one dashboard to manage them all.

Unified dashboard

See every executive you support, their plan status, and today's priorities in a single view. No tab-switching, no context-switching.

Isolated contexts

Each executive's strategic drivers, preferences, and plan history stay separate. Switch between executives cleanly.

Batch operations

Create plans, carry forward items, and manage work across executives efficiently.

The EA workspace

Your coordination command centre

A structured workspace purpose-built for executive assistants. Plan proposals, lifecycle management, and multi-executive support in one view.

I went from managing three executives via email to one structured dashboard. The plan lifecycle alone saved me hours every week. I finally have a real tool for what I actually do.
