For Personal

A virtual personal assistant for the life admin you never get to

Most people's to-do lists have a few things that have been sitting there for months. The insurance renewal, the holiday that needs booking, the gift for a birthday next week. Hand them to a GetFriday assistant and they get done.

We've been doing this since 2005, for more than 15,000 people in over 80 countries. Your assistant gets to know your preferences as you go, so the more you hand over, the less you have to explain.

Graduate assistants

Every GetFriday assistant has a degree and has worked with many different clients before they're matched with you.

They're used to switching between very different jobs in the same day, and they know their way around most everyday software.

Before working with clients, each assistant goes through training in office software, written English and client service. A senior manager keeps mentoring them afterwards.

So when they start with you, they already know how to manage a calendar, write a clear email and research properly. You only have to teach them how you like things done.

If it can be done online or by phone, we can probably do it

We handle almost any task, personal or business, that doesn't need someone to turn up in person. Email, phone, chat, web: if that's how it gets done, your assistant can do it. Think of a good assistant in the next room, just not physically there.

Getting started takes about a day

Tell us roughly what you need. We'll handle the rest of the set-up.

  1. Sign up

    Choose a plan and tell us a little about what you need. We match you with an assistant who works in or near your time zone.

  2. Send your first task

    Email, phone, chat, whatever's easiest. A short brief is fine; your assistant will ask if anything's unclear.

  3. Check in when you like

    You'll get updates as work is done, and every minute is logged in your client portal.

A virtual personal assistant is a remote professional who helps individuals with everyday admin and personal tasks. Scheduling appointments, organizing travel, online research, managing digital information, coordinating personal errands. GetFriday provides that remote help so you save time, stay organized and keep your attention on your priorities.

A lot of the day-to-day. We can manage your schedule, research travel and shopping options, coordinate appointments, organize your documents, and help you stay on top of your email. Every person's needs are different, so we shape our support around what you ask for and what we've agreed on together.

You can hand off the suitable admin tasks. Researching products and services, lining up travel options, coordinating appointments, managing calendars, preparing documents, keeping digital records. Exactly which ones depends on your requirements, the access permissions and your service arrangement.

It depends on the plan, how many hours you need, how complex the tasks are and how much support you want. Check pricing directly with our team, since it’s based on your needs. When you compare providers, look at the scope of work, the hours available and what’s included, not just the hourly rate.

Our personal assistants support admin and related tasks. They don’t replace licensed professionals, and they can’t do everything that needs someone physically there. Regulated financial or legal advice, medical decisions, unsafe requests, unauthorized account access and physical errands may all fall outside the agreed scope. Confirm your specific requirements with us before starting.

Information security is an important part of how we deliver the service, and our website references our ISO 27001 certification. Still, confirm the security procedures, access controls, confidentiality arrangements and data-handling terms that apply to your engagement. Share only what’s needed for the assigned tasks, and use authorized access methods.

I've been with GetFriday for a month now and they've been great. My assistant is wonderful, very pleasant and helpful and helps to remind me about creating tasks which is useful in the beginning since it's hard to get started thinking about what you can outsource. I've definitely benefitted from the service so far.

I have been using the virtual assistants at Get Friday for almost 10 years now. I'm happy to say they provide outstanding service. Some of the tasks to complete are pretty complex and are completed with very high standards. I would definitely recommend Get Friday to anyone that needs to lighten their everyday work load.
