The scheduling agent for busy executives and the EAs and Chiefs of Staff who run their calendars. Handles every meeting type end-to-end. Frees executive teams to focus on strategy, not coordination.
Zara handles 30-40% of what an executive assistant does — at about 11% of the loaded cost.
30-day money-back guarantee. No questions, no pro-rate.
You bring Zara on, and within a week your calendar starts running on a different operating system. The proposing-times-and-following-up loop disappears. Your EA and Chief of Staff stop being calendar dispatchers and become what they were hired to be: the people who hold context, judgment, and relationships at the level you do. Your meetings happen. The right ones, on the right cadence, with the right people in the room. You don't notice the work being done. You notice it stopped consuming everyone.
Executive calendars are the most expensive coordination problem in any company. EAs and Chiefs of Staff spend 30 to 40 percent of their day on the same back-and-forth: proposing times, following up, rescheduling, syncing across timezones. The work isn't strategic. It's exhausting. Zara takes the coordination grind so the people who manage executive time can focus on the parts that need human judgment.
Schedule board meetings, investor updates, and advisor calls across multiple firms and timezones, without exposing the executive's full availability publicly.
Zara works alongside your existing EA or Chief of Staff, not against them. She handles the coordination grind. They handle context, relationships, and the judgment calls.
Zara emails investors, board members, customers, and partners. Proposes times. Books when they reply. No login or software install required on their end.
When the executive lands in London, Zara shifts availability windows automatically. Declines morning US calls. Surfaces local meetings that need prep.
Zara protects the executive's focus blocks by default and only releases them for meetings that meet the priority rules you set.
When scheduling patterns shift toward a vertical (recruiting via Ray, sales via Kai, M&A via Ben), Zara recommends the right specialist agent.
By the time you check, the date is set. Your travel works. Your standing commitments stay intact. Two board members had a conflict on date #3; you didn't need to know that. The meeting just happens.
You don't see it. You don't need to. By the time you land, the meeting is on your calendar in your new timezone, the investor has confirmation, your Chief of Staff has the prep brief, and you can sleep on the flight.
Inbound scheduling requests get handled. Reschedules happen. Follow-ups go out on time. Your EA comes back to a calendar that stayed intact and an inbox that didn't pile up. The week ran without them, and they get to actually rest.
You name the goal. The window comes back inside 48 hours. The pre-meeting prep sessions appear on the right calendars without you asking. Travel windows align with the offsite dates. The first time you think about logistics is when you walk into the room.
Zara is hired by your company, not by a single person. Once Zara is connected to your workspace, Zara is available to everyone on your team who needs the work done. One subscription. One price. The leverage scales with your team, not the cost.
Names Zara in a meeting and forgets about her. The calendar runs at the altitude the work demands. Investor replies, board chair dates, leadership offsites across timezones — all handled before the executive notices.
Stops dispatching meetings. Starts orchestrating outcomes. Zara handles coordination, the CoS holds strategy. The two of them together run the executive's team.
Stops being the bottleneck and becomes the partner. Zara handles volume, the EA handles judgment — the VIPs, the politically sensitive reschedules, the calls that need a human's read of the room.
Cross-executive scheduling happens without email chains. Five direct reports finding a window for the staff meeting? Done overnight. The team finds time together at the speed of intent.
Zara serves teams of 5-15 executives well. Larger organizations typically deploy a combination: Zara across the broader leadership team, Mia dedicated to the CEO, and Ray serving the recruiting org. Your CSM helps you size the right deployment during onboarding.
Per-seat scheduling tools scale with your team size. ANCI doesn't. A 10-executive team pays the same as a 5-executive team. The leverage compounds as you grow.
Zara and Mia are built on the same engine, but they serve different deployments. Most companies use both: Zara across the leadership team, Mia dedicated to the CEO or top executive.
If Zara isn't running scheduling, calendar coordination, follow-ups, and rescheduling the way we promise by day 30, we refund every dollar. No questions, no surveys, no exit interview. The guarantee is here because hiring an agent should feel as safe as hiring a person, and that means knowing you can change your mind.
Zara pays for herself before the first quarter ends.
No. Zara handles the coordination grind, roughly 30 to 40 percent of the work. The strategic context, relationships, and judgment calls (which investor actually matters, what tone the executive wants in a delicate decline, when to push back on a request) stay human. EAs and Chiefs of Staff who use Zara get strategic time back.
Calendar invites use neutral titles externally when needed. Confidential meetings stay confidential to the appropriate audience. SOC 2 certified, data residency options available for enterprise customers.
Yes. Zara can run as a single-executive agent or coordinate across a full executive team (CEO plus 5-9 reports). Each executive's preferences are kept separate. Cross-team scheduling happens automatically when calendars overlap.
The executive (or their EA) can complete personal calendar access in about 30 seconds. For full team deployment, your IT administrator needs to approve the integration — most teams complete this in under 10 minutes. We provide a setup guide for IT administrators you can forward to them.
Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 fully. Outlook, Gmail, Calendar, Contacts. Read context from Salesforce and HubSpot. Custom integrations available for enterprise deployments.
The first launch customers lock in introductory pricing for the lifetime of their account. Same Zara, same engine, well below standard pricing when it opens up.
Compare to an executive assistant: $90K/year loaded. Zara costs $9,540/year — about 11% of the role she handles.
