Ask HN: Tips for working with human virtual assistants?

3 points by qax a day ago

If you've worked with remote assistants, what delegation strategies (types of tasks to delegate vs. not), communication tools (email/Slack/Loom/etc.), and automation setups have you found most effective? Have you changed how you work with them since the arrival of ChatGPT, Claude, and other LLM-based assistants?

Any recommendations for or thoughts on specific agencies, e.g., Athena, Double, Magic?

I remember reading a detailed post on this topic on HN recently but can't find it despite trying Algolia, Google, Perplexity, and ChatGPT search. It might have had an embedded Notion table with the actual tasks the author delegates. if anyone recognizes the post or has a link to it, that’d be hugely appreciated.
