AI first mate for virtual assistants
Every great assistant deserves a first mate.
Firstme is an AI first mate for virtual assistants and VA agencies, now in private beta. It works from what you tell it about each client and takes on tasks alongside you, and you check its work before anything that cannot be undone.

How it works
Firstme does the preparation. You make the call.
Every task follows the same three steps, whatever the client and whatever the request.
Firstme drafts
It reads the request and what you have told it about that client, and prepares a first pass.
You review and change
Approve it, edit it or throw it away. Each draft shows what it is based on.
You decide
Nothing is sent or booked until you say so. The client relationship stays yours.

What’s live and what’s next
Dated 10 November 2026. Quarters count from July 2026.
Live today
- A private beta, used only inside the Firstme team for now.
- In the beta, you give Firstme a company’s working information, such as documents, notes and preferences, and it keeps them in a searchable knowledge base.
- It then works alongside the assistant on that company’s tasks, and a person reviews its work before anything that cannot be undone.
- The beta does not connect to anyone’s email or calendar, and does nothing outside Firstme by itself.
- You can write to Adaora about your work, and opt in to the design-partner group.
Next
- Q4 2026. Inbox triage in the beta. Calendar proposals. A published trust and approval guide.
- Q1 2027. Agency plans with shared playbooks and admin controls.
- Later. The morning client digest. Learning your style from your edits. Follow-ups and invoice nudges. Integrations with common client tools.
