Personal / Product Research
Three good options, one clear pick.
Big purchases, small ones, recurring ones. Your assistant compares the field, vets the vendors, and comes back with a recommendation and the reasoning.
You don’t need 4 hours of Wirecutter, 11 Reddit threads, and a Notion doc to buy a vacuum. Your assistant takes the brief (what it’s for, your budget, your hard requirements), comes back with three options ranked, and tells you why one wins for your situation.
Used by founders for big-ticket house buys, by parents for stroller decisions, by ADHD operators tired of decision-paralysis on the small stuff.
What we handle
The work your assistant takes off your plate.
- Comparison shopping for big purchases (cars, appliances, home electronics, mattresses), with three options ranked against your priorities
- Vendor vetting for services (contractors, movers, photographers, financial planners), including reference calls and BBB-style background checks
- Subscription audits and renewals, so the streaming-bill creep and the gym-membership you forgot about both get flagged or canceled
- One-page recommendation memos with the trade-offs spelled out, citations linked, and the picked option highlighted (so you can decide in 5 minutes, not 5 days)
- Ordering, returns, and warranty handling, so the stuff you bought actually shows up and the stuff you sent back actually got refunded

Questions
Still circling?
Do you take affiliate commissions?
No. We’re not affiliated with any vendor, retailer, or marketplace. The recommendation is the recommendation, no kickback.
How big does the purchase need to be to be worth using you?
Whatever’s eating your time. Some clients send everything over $200. Others use us only for over $5,000 buys. The rule is “if you’ve been stuck on it for more than 30 minutes, send it.”
Can you actually buy the thing on my behalf?
Yes. Once you approve a recommendation, your assistant places the order using your card or shared method, tracks the shipment, and handles any returns.
What if I don’t agree with the pick?
That’s fine. The memo always shows three options with trade-offs, so you can pick a different one. Or you ping back with new constraints and we redo it.
What if I don’t click with my assistant?
Tell your account manager. We rematch. No drama.
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.”
