I can see how AI is going to really take assistant and receptionist jobs.

I run a small business and used to pay an assistant nearly $30,000 a year to handle calls, emails, scheduling, and customer updates. I also paid for tech support to find manuals and help with diagnostics while I was in the field.

Now I use ChatGPT and Grok to find manuals, schematics, and diagnostic information, which has cut most of my tech support costs.
When my assistant went back to school, I planned to hire and train someone new. Instead, I started using Muse by Meta to manage emails, track jobs, send customer updates, and give me daily reports. My AI agents also helped me find and set up a phone service for a little over $100 a month. It answers calls and even follows up with customers.

I’ve never been this organized, and I’m saving a few thousand dollars a month.
Small business owners: give AI a serious look. Start with the tasks eating up your day. Students and anyone juggling emails, contacts, and deadlines could benefit too.
I used to use AI mostly for messing around. Now it helps run my business. After seeing what it can handle, I think assistant and receptionist jobs are going to change dramatically.
