Hey, I’m Sabrina
I am a Senior Executive Assistant who has spent over 20 years supporting executives in the San Francisco Bay Area. I started The Force Multiplier because I keep hearing the same fear from EAs everywhere: that Artificial Intelligence is coming for our jobs. I do not believe that, and I do not want you to believe it either. What I do believe is that this is a major turning point in our profession, and the EAs who learn to work with these tools now will be the ones who continue to be indispensable. I do not want anyone to get left behind. So here we are, together.
Before you start: A Note on Security
If you work for a company with an enterprise AI account, your data is covered by your company’s policies. Use the enterprise account for work tasks.
If you’re using a personal account, treat it the way you’d treat any tool that isn’t company-controlled. Before you paste anything into an AI tool, pull it into a separate document first and scrub it. Remove company names, strategy details, financial data, personally identifiable information, and trademarks. Describe the patterns of your work without exposing specifics.

This week’s prompt
By the time Friday afternoon hits, most of us are running on fumes.
Not because the work was hard. Because the volume of context we carry all week is genuinely exhausting. Every email thread, every calendar conflict, every quick question adds to the cognitive load. By 4pm the tank is empty and that is exactly when the longest, most convoluted email thread of the week lands in the inbox.
Here is the move: let AI do the math and save our energy for the strategic judgment calls. The ones that actually need us.
I am going to share an email thread with you. Please read it carefully and give me all four of the following:
The ask — tell me the single action being requested of me in one sentence.
Mutual availability — identify what is being scheduled and draft a two-sentence reply proposing three times for a [LENGTH] meeting.
A holding response — draft a three-sentence reply that acknowledges receipt, signals I am on it, and buys me until tomorrow morning without making a specific commitment.
Executive summary — summarize this thread in three sentences. First: what happened. Second: what decision or action is needed. Third: who needs to take it and by when.
Here is the thread: [PASTE YOUR SCRUBBED THREAD HERE]
Coming up next issue
Next issue we will discuss how to use AI to research and prepare pre-meeting briefs for your executive before they walk into the room.
Go multiply.
