Hire a dedicated virtual assistant, trained and managed by DevTrain
English-speaking assistants for businesses in the USA, Canada, the UK, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. They work US Eastern hours, use your tools, and our team stays involved after they start.
Work you can hand to a virtual assistant
Most clients start with the tasks that eat their mornings. Your assistant takes them over, learns how you like them done, and keeps them moving every day.
-
Email and calendar management
Inbox sorted, replies drafted in your voice, and meetings booked across time zones without back-and-forth.

Customer support
Email and chat replies based on your answers, with anything unusual passed back to you.
-
Data entry and research
Spreadsheets, CRM updates, product listings and background research, checked before they reach you.

Lead lists
Prospect lists built to your criteria and kept tidy in your CRM, ready for your sales team.

Order processing
Orders entered, tracking updates sent to customers, and returns logged as they come in.

Have a task that isn't listed? Bring it to your consultation and we'll tell you honestly whether an assistant is the right fit.
Virtual assistants with AI automation
Some jobs repeat so often that software should do the first pass. Sorting incoming email, drafting first replies to common questions, moving form entries into your CRM: these are good candidates.
Where it makes sense, we set up AI automation for those steps, and your assistant checks the output and handles the exceptions. You get the speed of automation with a person responsible for the result.
