Drafting emails and documents
Administrative Assistant · Executive Secretary
“Drafting emails and documents” (Administrative Assistant) is being replaced by AI: it entered in 2023 and is projected to be largely replaced by 2027.
What this task is
Drafting emails, notices, reports and letters on the executive's behalf, getting the tone and format right for each audience, and revising them until they are final.
How AI replaces it
From 2023, LLM writing tools could turn brief instructions into first drafts and rewrite them in a requested tone. As they connect to email and document systems and learn from past correspondence, most drafting is expected to be AI-done by 2027.
What stays human
Assistants check facts and make sure messages match the organization's official position, handle sensitive wording, and give final approval before important documents go out.
