AI risk 82/100Opportunity 75/100Future demand 42/100
How AI is affecting this role
- ›An AI agent like Clara or x.ai handles the 'When are you free?' email thread entirely, negotiating times with 5 different stakeholders and updating the calendar without you seeing a single email.
- ›Excel Copilot analyzes six months of shift data to identify that Friday afternoons are consistently understaffed, suggesting optimal roster adjustments instantly.
- ›A custom n8n workflow automatically creates a Zoom link, adds it to the calendar invite, and posts a summary in the relevant Slack channel 10 minutes before the meeting starts.
Ways to survive
- ›Specialize in complex logistics coordination for hybrid events involving both virtual and physical attendees in different cities like Bangalore and Mumbai.
- ›Become the expert in 'Time Blocking' strategies for C-suite executives, acting as a gatekeeper for AI tools to ensure they don't get overbooked.
- ›Master the nuances of travel booking in India (e.g., rail connectivity vs. flight delays) where AI suggestions often lack local context.
Ways to get ahead with AI
- ›Build automated onboarding workflows in Notion that schedule training sessions automatically when a new employee joins.
- ›Learn to use Python scripts or n8n to scrape competitor event schedules and plan your company's leadership availability to avoid clashes.
