The brief, every morning, before the first call
Advisory work rewards the best-prepared person in the room. Aura sends a morning brief at the time you choose with what needs you today: the meetings, the deliverables due, the threads that have gone quiet, and who you are meeting and what you last discussed with them. It is the read-ahead for your own day.
It arrives by text, so you read it in the car or the lobby, and you answer it the same way.
Scheduling across offices and calendars
Coordinating a single meeting between a client office, an agency contact, and your own team can take a dozen emails. Aura proposes times, holds them, confirms with each office, and adjusts the read-ahead deadline when the meeting moves. It replies from the right account for each counterpart, because it connects several Google Workspace accounts on one plan.
- Meetings and read-aheads coordinated across offices and time zones.
- Deliverables tracked from draft to sent, with receipt confirmed and the next check-in scheduled.
- Follow-ups the agency owes you, chased politely and on time.
- Replies to routine coordination mail drafted in your voice and held for approval.
- A daily brief plus proactive nudges when something slips.
Controls that hold up to review
Firms that serve government clients are careful about who can act on their behalf. Aura acts only with the scopes you approve, asks before sending, scheduling, or sharing, and writes each approval to an audit log. Data export and deletion are yours to trigger. Google data is not used to train models. The team will walk through subprocessors, data flows, and retention before a rollout.
How Crux Advisory uses it
Crux Advisory runs a branded assistant named Pepper. Pepper sends the morning brief, holds the calendar across offices, and closes the loop on deliverables, logging each one and setting the next check-in. The principal texts Pepper the way he would text a chief of staff, and Pepper texts first when a decision is needed.
You can start with a personal assistant under your own name today, or work with the Aura team to launch a branded one for the firm.
A principal's week, with and without an assistant
| Without Aura | With Aura | |
|---|---|---|
| Knowing what needs you today | Open three inboxes and a calendar | One brief by text before 8am |
| Moving a meeting across offices | A dozen emails over two days | One text, confirmed by each office |
| Tracking a deliverable to receipt | A spreadsheet you forget to update | Tracked, confirmed, next check-in set |
| Follow-ups the agency owes you | Memory | Nudged on the date you set |
