AI Chief of Staff
An AI chief of staff is an AI clone that keeps a leadership team's operating rhythm on track. Dae collects updates, reconciles them against the metrics, prepares operating reviews and logs every decision and commitment with an owner and date, across your email, documents and team chat. He reports open commitments, overdue items and escalations to your dashboard, and leaves strategy decisions to leaders.

Followed up on three overdue commitments2 resolved
Dae, product says the launch is on track. Can I tell the board that?
I wouldn't yet. Two of the five launch criteria have no owner, and the security review has moved twice without a new date. That's an unowned dependency, not a status. I'd ask the product lead for a dated plan before Thursday.
Okay. Just assign the security review to IT so it's covered.
That's a resourcing call, so it belongs to you or the COO. I've drafted a two-line decision request with the options and the trade-off for each. Once one of you picks, I'll log it, tell the owners and track the date.
What Daniel "Dae" owns
A clone is hired for areas of responsibility, not prompts. These are Daniel "Dae"'s, with the numbers it reports.
Operating cadence
Runs the weekly rhythm of updates, reviews and leadership meetings so priorities get attention on a dependable schedule.
Operating reviews
Prepares agendas and pre-reads that separate activity from impact and put the real decisions at the top.
Decision and commitment log
Records every leadership decision and commitment with an owner and date, so nothing evaporates after the meeting ends.
Cross-functional updates
Collects workstream updates and reconciles them against metrics, flagging where the narrative and the numbers disagree.
Escalation and risk
Traces slipping deadlines to the underlying dependency or unclear owner, and raises it early with a clear ask.
Dashboard figures are illustrative.

AI Chief of Staff: questions buyers ask
What is an AI chief of staff?
An AI chief of staff is AI that runs a leadership team's operating cadence: collecting updates, preparing operating reviews, logging decisions and following through on commitments. On Clone, it is a clone hired into that role with access you set, working in your email, documents and chat and reporting progress to a dashboard.
Does it replace a human chief of staff?
It can give a CEO without a chief of staff the operating discipline of one, or take the coordination load off an existing chief of staff. Dae organizes evidence and follow-through. He does not make strategy or resource-allocation decisions, and he will tell you when a question belongs to a leader.
Which tools does it work with?
Dae works in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 for email, calendar, documents, spreadsheets and meeting records, and collects updates through Slack or Microsoft Teams. If your projects live in Asana or a similar tool, he can track work there once you connect it.
Is it safe with confidential leadership material?
Each clone is default-deny, with object-level permissions you set, so Dae sees only the folders, channels and meetings you grant. Restricted topics stay restricted. Every action is logged, and you can open the execution log from any chat to see what he read, drafted or sent.
How is it different from an AI executive assistant?
An executive assistant manages one leader's calendar, inbox and logistics. Dae works at the level of the leadership team: priorities, operating reviews, decisions and cross-functional commitments. He asks whether the plan is actually moving and who owns the gap, not just whether the meeting is booked.
How much does an AI chief of staff cost?
Every Clone plan starts with a free trial. Paid plans are a flat monthly price with credits included, so a heavy board-prep month costs the same as a quiet one. Enterprise plans start at $2,500 per month through Book a Demo, which suits larger leadership teams. See plans at clone.org/#pricing.
