A San Francisco startup is using an AI agent designed to replicate tasks similar to those performed by a chief of staff, according to reporting cited by Business Insider and Yahoo News. The article features a chief of staff who says her organization assigns an AI “chief of staff” to perform parts of her role while she continues working on human tasks. The worker describes balancing her responsibilities with work outsourced to the AI, framing the AI system as a tool for support rather than a full replacement. She also presents reasons she expects her position will remain necessary, pointing to the kinds of judgment, coordination, and human-led efforts that she continues to provide. Across the coverage, the focus is on how the company implements the AI agent and how the chief of staff adapts day-to-day. The reports do not present details about the AI’s specific training data or performance metrics, but they describe the practical reality of having an AI counterpart that takes on elements of the role, prompting questions about how organizations redefine staffing as automation expands.
