Personal / General Research

Send the question. Get back a real answer.

From “best ENT in Brooklyn” to “what should we know before we adopt this dog breed,” your assistant runs the search and comes back with cited findings and a recommendation.

Some questions take 10 minutes. Some take a full day of digging. Either way, your assistant runs the search end-to-end (Google, primary sources, professional reviews, real phone calls if it’s the kind of question that needs one) and comes back with a memo: what we found, what’s cited, what we recommend.

Used for medical referrals, school choices, vacation rentals, vendor vetting, “is this scam,” “what’s actually true here,” and the long tail of facts you need but don’t have time to chase.

What we handle

The work your assistant takes off your plate.

  • “Best X near me” research, with vetted shortlists for doctors, dentists, schools, lawyers, contractors, restaurants, and rental homes
  • Deep-dive memos on bigger questions (a school district, a medication’s track record, a city you’re considering moving to), built from primary sources, not just blog posts
  • Fact-checks on the news article, the friend’s claim, the influencer post, with sources you can hand to your group chat
  • Phone-call research (calling 6 doctors’ offices to confirm in-network status, calling 4 contractors for quotes), the kind of thing that takes 90 minutes you don’t have
  • One-page summaries with citations, recommendations, and a clear yes-or-no when the question warrants one

Questions

Still circling?

Aren’t you just running ChatGPT for me?

No. AI hallucinates and skips the phone-call step. Your assistant uses primary sources, calls offices, reads PDFs, and cites everything. The memo says where each claim comes from.

How fast can you turn things around?

Quick “best X near me” requests come back same-day or next-day. Deeper memos take 2 to 4 business days, depending on whether phone calls are involved.

Will you give medical or legal advice?

No. We give you the research and the shortlist (which doctor, which lawyer, which procedure has what evidence). The decision and the professional advice stay with the actual professionals.

How do you cite things?

Live links, named sources, dates pulled. If we couldn’t verify something, the memo says “not verified.” We don’t dress up uncertainty.

What if I don’t click with my assistant?

Tell your account manager. We rematch. No drama.

An OkayRelax account manager.

Your account manager

A dedicated account manager. The person you actually talk to.

Every account has its own account manager, separate from your dedicated assistant. They run the kickoff, own the match, and are the person you reach if something needs to be rematched, escalated, or just sanity-checked. Every assignment has a quality bar. You aren’t the one chasing it.

Same person, every week. No round-robin queue. No swapping out the contact after onboarding. The match you meet on day one is the match running the work on day two hundred.

From people who hired one of us

They came back for the next year.

“It is really nice having a dedicated assistant and my assistant has exceeded my expectations. They’ve saved me a lot of time dealing with a variety of tasks: canceling and scheduling appointments, booking work trips, researching.”

“She checks in about details and keeps me on task, which is quite a tall order. My ADHD makes it impossible to keep up on all my adulting without it.”
