personal assistant
Someone who organizes
A personal assistant handles administrative and organizational tasks for an individual—scheduling appointments, managing correspondence, running errands, making travel arrangements.
The role ranges from executive assistants supporting business leaders to household staff managing domestic affairs.
In computing, a personal assistant (or virtual assistant) is software that responds to voice commands: Hey Siri, set a timer for ten minutes.
