Fifteen AI assistants, and what Senapra does on the same job.

The short answerAn email assistant does email. A notetaker does notes. Each costs $10 to $50 a month for its main plan and stops where its one job ends. Senapra does the whole follow-through: replies written in your voice before you open the inbox, meetings captured without a bot, and every promise chased until it is kept. One desk from $99 a month, about one percent of what a human chief of staff earns.
