A personal secretary for the outside world
Give them my Stand-in.
Your Stand-in has its own email address and its own chat page. It writes to the world for you — strategy, drafts, follow-ups — and answers the world for you: repeat questions handled, requests collected, a digest in your pocket. You stay CC'd on everything.
Every topic gets its own address — forward a thread, it takes over.
Its public front door — share the link anywhere you're reachable.
Outbound — when you need them
It chases.
Say the goal in the app — "Get my water-heater claim paid." — or forward the thread you're stuck in to its address, instructions on top. From there: a strategy, drafts for your approval, and follow-up through the silence until it's done.
Insurance claims · billing mistakes · refunds & warranties · cancellations · security deposits · quotes & estimates — anything with a reply button.
Claim #H-88231 filed — water heater failure. Plumber's report, photos, and proof of purchase attached.
"We can offer $900 as a goodwill settlement."
Declined. The unit is two years into a six-year warranty; policy §4.2 covers full replacement — $1,840, documented.
Following up: requesting claim status and an adjuster assignment by Friday.
"Reviewed. The full amount is approved; payment will issue in 3–5 business days."
Inbound — when they need you
It answers.
Put its chat page in your listing, your bio, your out-of-office. Its inbox catches what people send. Either way, your Stand-in answers what it already knows, collects what they want, and knocks on your door only when something genuinely needs you. Everyone else gets a real answer, right away — and you get the digest.
Hi — is the studio you listed still available? Are utilities included?
It is. $1,450 a month; water and trash included, electricity separate. Viewings run Saturday 10–12 — want a slot?
10:30, please. Also — would a 6-month lease work?
Booked: Saturday 10:30 ✓ — confirmation is on its way to your email. The 6-month lease isn't mine to decide; I've asked Sam and I'll come back to you today.
Studio listing — viewing booked for Saturday 10:30; details in the thread.
Waiting on you — "Would you take a 6-month lease?"
Newsletter collab inquiry — declined, per your standing answer.
The dial
You decide how much it asks.
Some conversations deserve your eyes on every word. Some just need to be handled. The dial is set per task — and wherever you put it, every email still lands in your own inbox.
What never moves
Two constants and one dial.
Not promises — mechanics, enforced by the platform underneath your Stand-in.
You're CC'd on everything.
Every email your Stand-in sends lands in your own inbox too — at any dial setting. There are no side conversations.
Its own address, never yours.
It corresponds as sam-task@standinfor.me and receives visitors at its own door. Your inbox and your name stay yours.
Autonomy is yours to grant.
The default is approval on every send. Auto-drive is an explicit choice you make, task by task — and you can turn it back any time.
Stop being the bottleneck of your own correspondence.
