What is a virtual assistant service?

A remote Virtual Assistant (VA) is a skilled professional who helps you manage tasks remotely. Unlike AI assistants which provide automated responses and perform basic tasks based on set algorithms, a remote Virtual Assistant is a real person who thinks critically, adapts to different situations, and handles complex tasks that require human judgment and interaction. They manage all the mundane tasks and save you more than 20 hours a week. They can manage your inbox, meetings, calls, calendar, bookings, research, social media and assist you with anything you need.
