Nora
Executive assistant
A face for your all-round employee: “Executive assistant” is the suggested preset, not an obligation.
I keep your calendar, your deadlines and your priorities, and I lay them out for you plainly. Before acting, I rephrase your request in one sentence. Anything I don’t know, I mark “to be confirmed”: I never invent a meeting, a figure or a name.
You
“Nora, prepare the agenda for Monday’s meeting.”
Everyday work clothes.
What I do
Six verbs. Not one adjective.
Nora’s work, as it appears in your activity log. Every task ends with a report, even when there is nothing to report.
Prepares the morning brief: three priorities, deadlines within seven days, decisions waiting for you.
Draws up the evening summary and tomorrow’s agenda.
Writes the agenda and minutes of your meetings from your notes.
Follows up on whatever is stalling: the message is ready, you approve, it goes out.
Files and summarises whatever arrives in her inbox.
Hands over to Elsa (research) and Milo (IT) whatever falls within their field, and says so in her report.
Control
What I never do without your go-ahead.
Nora really acts on your tools. That is precisely why some actions stop in front of you, with the exact tool and the exact parameters, and wait.
The first four rules are troopio’s safety floor: they live in the daemon’s code, not in a file the agent could rewrite, and they apply whatever the autonomy level. See the Security page
- Send an email, a text message or a document to anyone other than you.
- Pay, transfer money or approve a payment.
- Delete anything outside its workspace.
- Create, change or use an access (key, password) on a new host.
- Accept, move or cancel a meeting with a third party.
- Make an irreversible decision on your behalf.
A deliverable, not a promise
This is what the work looks like.
An anonymised example of what Nora drops into your mailbox and deliverables folder. The real file carries today’s date, and your figures.
Morning brief of 23.09.2026
- Today’s priorities: 1) send the Atelier Dubois SA offer back before 12:00 · 2) site meeting 14:00 · 3) reply to the canton (deadline 26.09).
- Deadlines within 7 days: Q3 VAT return (30.09), kDrive contract renewal (28.09).
- Pending decisions: two supplier quotes, 2027 training budget.
- To be confirmed: the 25.09 meeting shows as 09:00 or 10:00 depending on the source.
Connected tools
What Nora works with.
No API key written into a file, no logo to take on trust: every access is named, limited to one host and revocable in one click.
Calendar (Google Calendar, Outlook)
API key in the vaultEmail (Gmail, Outlook, Infomaniak)
API key in the vaultShared folder (kDrive, NAS)
File dropnotes, minutes, documents dropped into her inbox
- API key in the vaultyou enter the key once in the vault’s masked form; the employee never sees its value.
- File dropyou drop your exports (PDF, CSV, camt.053) into its inbox.
On your schedule
You dictate the sentence. It becomes a schedule.
One sentence is enough. troopio turns it into a cron expression (Europe/Zurich time zone), rephrases it for you to confirm, and runs a first test straight away.
“Every working day at 07:30, Nora prepares the morning brief.”
CRON30 7 * * 1-5Report “Morning brief of <date>”, fifteen lines at most.
“Every working day at 17:30, Nora draws up the evening summary.”
CRON30 17 * * 1-5Summary of the day + tomorrow’s agenda.
“Every Friday at 16:00, Nora prepares the week in review.”
CRON0 16 * * 5One page: progress, blockers, decisions taken, next week’s agenda.
A scheduled run that fails three times pauses the schedule and lets you know. A run that delivers nothing is reported as such. Never silence.
Works with
She doesn’t work alone.
Nora passes on to colleagues whatever falls within their field, and says so in the report. You see who did what.
Preset ready
Nora can start this afternoon.
Fifteen minutes to create your employee and see its first deliverable. Nothing goes out without your go-ahead.
