About

byCordo

Read full description

Your life, managed by Cordo. Research, bookings, admin, follow-up. The things that keep slipping to next week. byCordo gives you a dedicated assistant who takes them off your plate and comes back when they are done. Not software and not a bot. A real person who compares the options, makes the booking, chases the reply and tells you what happened. Every new account includes 4 hours of work by a human assistant, free of charge, available for 30 days. The 30 days start when your assistant first logs completed work, so the clock does not run before anyone has worked for you. The trial ends when the 4 hours are used or the 30 days have passed, whichever comes first. The app is where you hand things over. Send a request, message your assistant, follow the work and see the time it took. No invitation and no approval step: create an account and submit your first real request.
