A new entrant called Consul has launched as an AI executive assistant, targeting the growing market of professionals who want AI handling their calendar, communications, and daily briefings.
The tool positions itself squarely in the executive assistant category, a space that's gotten crowded fast. Products like Clockwise and Reclaim have tackled calendar optimization, while broader assistants like ChatGPT and Claude handle research and writing. Consul appears to be aiming for the full package: the kind of support a human EA provides, from meeting prep to follow-up tracking.
Details on pricing, integrations, and specific capabilities are thin at launch. The product is live at consul.so, but without public documentation on what LLMs power it or how it connects to existing workflow tools, it's hard to judge where it falls on the spectrum between "smart calendar app" and "actual assistant replacement." Early-stage AI assistant tools tend to nail one or two tasks and struggle with the rest, so the real test will be whether Consul can handle the messy, context-heavy work that makes executive assistants valuable in the first place.
