ChatGPT for Executive Assistants: 10 Prompts to Get More Done in Less Time

Executive assistants run the show. You're managing calendars, prepping executives for every meeting, writing emails that sound like someone else, booking travel, and fielding requests from every direction — often simultaneously. The writing alone can eat half your day.

ChatGPT doesn't replace the judgment and relationships that make a great EA. But it does handle the first draft, the formatting, the research summary, and the “can you send a nice follow-up to...” requests that stack up hour by hour.

These 10 prompts are built for executive assistants who support C-suite executives or senior leadership. Copy them, adapt them to your exec's voice, and reclaim the hours.

Scheduling & Calendar Communications

Every meeting request, reschedule, and prep brief takes time to write well. These four prompts handle the calendar communications that fill your inbox — so you can focus on the work that actually requires your judgment.

1. Meeting Request on Behalf of Executive

The Prompt

Write a professional meeting request email from [Executive Name], [Title], to [Recipient Name] at [Company]. Purpose: [topic/goal]. Proposed times: [list 2-3 options]. Keep it warm but efficient — [Executive Name]'s style is [brief/personable/formal]. Close with an easy reply option.

Why it works: Sounds like your exec wrote it — not like a calendar bot sent it.

2. Pre-Meeting Executive Brief

The Prompt

Create a one-page meeting prep brief for [Executive Name] ahead of a meeting with [Attendee(s)] from [Company] on [date]. Include: their background/role, key context about [Company], likely agenda items, 3 things [Executive Name] should know walking in, and suggested talking points. Meeting goal: [goal].

Why it works: Execs walk in informed. You spend 10 minutes, not 45.

3. Polite Reschedule Email

The Prompt

Write a brief, professional email to [Name] explaining that [Executive Name] needs to reschedule their [date/time] meeting due to a conflict. Suggest two alternative times: [option 1] and [option 2]. Apologize without over-apologizing. Tone: warm and efficient.

Why it works: Handles a frustrating task gracefully in under 30 seconds.

4. Meeting Notes → Clean Action Items

The Prompt

Convert these meeting notes into a clean summary with: (1) key decisions made, (2) action items with owner and due date, (3) any open questions that need follow-up. Format for easy scanning. Notes: [paste raw notes]

Why it works: Turns messy notes into a shareable artifact your exec can forward immediately.

Executive Communications

Writing in someone else's voice is the hardest part of being an EA. These three prompts give you a starting point for every kind of executive communication — drafts, follow-ups, and announcements that sound like your exec, not a template.

5. Email Draft in Your Exec's Voice

The Prompt

Write an email from [Executive Name] to [Recipient] about [topic]. [Executive Name]'s writing style: [bullet points / direct and brief / warm and personal / formal]. Key points to cover: [list]. Desired outcome: [what you want them to do or know]. Keep it under [X] sentences.

Why it works: The hardest EA task — writing as someone else — becomes a starting point, not a blank page.

6. Post-Meeting Follow-Up

The Prompt

Write a brief follow-up email from [Executive Name] to [Name] after their meeting on [date]. Reference [1-2 specific things discussed]. Include the agreed next step: [next step]. Tone: [warm/professional]. Under 5 sentences.

Why it works: The follow-up that actually gets sent — instead of sitting in drafts.

7. Executive Team Announcement

The Prompt

Draft an internal announcement from [Executive Name] to [team/department/all-staff] about [topic]. Key information: [details]. Tone: [celebratory / informative / direct]. Include a clear call to action or next step. Keep it to 3 short paragraphs.

Why it works: Announcements that should come from the exec — but get drafted by you.

Travel & Administrative

Travel briefs, vendor follow-ups, and expense narratives are the administrative writing that never shows up on a job description but fills half your week. These three prompts knock them out fast.

8. Trip Summary Brief

The Prompt

Create a clean travel brief for [Executive Name]'s trip to [city/country] from [dates]. Include: flight details [paste], hotel info [paste], meeting schedule [paste], local time zones, key contacts on the ground, and any notes on transportation or logistics. Format for easy mobile reading.

Why it works: One document your exec can pull up on the plane instead of digging through 12 emails.

9. Vendor Follow-Up on Behalf of Exec

The Prompt

Write a professional follow-up email to [Vendor/Service Provider] on behalf of [Executive Name] regarding [issue/request]. We're still waiting on [specific thing] from [date]. We need this resolved by [deadline]. Tone: firm but professional. Sign off as: [Your Name], EA to [Executive Name].

Why it works: Gets results. "EA to [Exec Name]" carries authority.

10. Expense Report Narrative

The Prompt

Write a brief expense report summary for [Executive Name]'s [event/trip] from [dates]. Total spend: [$X]. Key categories: [meals $X, transport $X, hotels $X, other $X]. Business purpose: [purpose]. Flag any items that may need additional approval: [if any]. Keep it factual and one paragraph.

Why it works: The narrative that goes with the numbers — done in 20 seconds.
