Introducing Serif Handoff

Serif Handoff is a revolutionary new way to delegate tasks to AI agents.

TLDR

When you receive an email that involves time-consuming back-and-forth, just forward it to assistant@serif.ai with a brief instruction:

→ "Schedule later this week"

→ "Follow up in a month and ask how the fundraise went"

→ "If she doesn't respond remind me next week"

And Serif takes over as you until the task is done.

Available now to all Serif users

From Email Assistant to Executive Assistant

The Scaling Problems We Set Out to Solve

No way to scale impact without hiring

Forced to choose between growth and maintaining quality

Limited by the number of hours in a day

We started Serif with a clear mission: help professionals break through their personal bandwidth limitations. We began with the most time-consuming daily task—email—building an AI assistant that actually captures your voice and decision-making process.

After perfecting email drafting with thousands of professionals, we kept hearing the same request:"This is amazing, but I wish Serif could do more than just draft emails."

So we worked directly with our users to figure out the most seamless and natural UX to help them scale themselves while maintaining full control. The answer? Let them delegate work exactly the way they already do with human assistants—through email.

Handoff represents the natural evolution we always envisioned: from helping you write emails to becoming your personal executive assistant.

Scale Beyond Human Limitations

Fire and Forget Hundreds of Tasks

Schedule 100 meetings while you sleep

Manage complex follow-up sequences across hundreds of relationships

Handle time-sensitive negotiations without constant monitoring

Handoff works by creating autonomous task threads that run independently of your attention. Forward an email with instructions, and Serif doesn't just draft one response—it takes over the entire conversation until completion.

Think of it as hiring an executive assistant for every single task. Each handoff creates a dedicated agent that works 24/7, handles all back-and-forth, manages timing and preferences, and delivers completed outcomes without you having to lift a finger.

"Schedule this with 20 investors next week" becomes 20 parallel conversations, each one perfectly managed, each one resulting in confirmed meetings—all without a single additional email from you.

Why This Is Only Possible Now

Most AI assistants fail at complex delegation because they lack context about how you work, who you know, and what your preferences are. They're starting from zero every time.

Serif's knowledge base changes everything. After writing thousands of emails with you, Serif knows your communication style, your relationships, your scheduling preferences, your priorities, and even your negotiation approach.

When you handoff a task, you're not giving instructions to a generic AI—you're delegating to an assistant that has been learning your decision-making process for months. It can represent you authentically because it literally knows how you think and communicate.

This level of autonomous task management was impossible before Serif built the deepest personal knowledge base of any AI assistant.
