Business-context assistant for executive decisions
Build a persistent AI assistant that continuously compiles an executive's business context—people, hiring needs, deals, problems, constraints, goals, and current challenges—so the executive can ask for advice without re-explaining the context each time.

Problem: General-purpose AI can brainstorm ideas but lacks the ongoing business context needed to make useful decisions. Re-entering constraints, goals, prior decisions, and organizational history for every interaction is burdensome and causes the assistant to miss relevant precedent.
For: Executives, founders, and other decision-makers whose work depends on accumulated organizational context and repeated judgments across hiring, deals, and business problems.
Examples
- Hiring decision: the assistant compared a prospective hire with two similar prior candidates, identified repeated drawbacks or missing skills, and recommended looking for a complementary profile.
