EP 48: Getting Started with AI in the EA role

In this episode of The EA Campus Podcast, host Nicky Christmas explores how Executive Assistants can leverage AI to streamline their workflow, reduce administrative burdens, and focus on strategic, high-impact tasks.

Key Takeaways:

AI is not about replacing assistants—it’s a tool for efficiency, helping with email drafting, scheduling, meeting summaries, and report generation.

Assistants can use AI to manage complex calendars, generate executive briefings, draft presentations, research industry trends, and create training materials.

 Effective AI usage starts with well-structured prompts. The more context and detail provided, the better the AI output.

Practical AI Tools for EAs:

• Multimodal AI: Upload PDFs, images, and documents for analysis.
• Advanced Voice Mode: Use AI for voice-to-text brainstorming and dictation.
• AI Data Privacy: Secure sensitive company data by using AI responsibly.

Once comfortable with AI, assistants can explore automation, custom AI workflows, and tools like Claude for long-form content creation.
