One of the skills I added to my AI Chief of Staff is called Heartbeat. Every few hours it wakes up, looks at my recent activity, calendar and goals, then asks a simple question: is there anything useful I can move forward on my own? Maybe a follow-up was forgotten, a meeting needs preparation, a draft is sitting at 80%, or a goal has quietly gone nowhere (happens).
It reminds me a lot of loops in software: the system doesn’t need a new command every time. It keeps checking the environment, finding unfinished business and pushing things forward. This is where an AI assistant starts feeling less like a chatbot and more like an actual Chief of Staff 🤓
