Espresso AI

The go-to AI resource for Virtual Assistants.

Traditional or techie, it doesn't matter what kind of Virtual Assistant you are, AI will make a massive difference to your business.

It's here to stay, and if you don't keep up, your clients will start looking for a VA who does.

So, I created a dedicated AI newsletter to make sure that doesn't happen.

No fluff, no BS, no complicated tech-bro stuff, just a monthly shot of bite-sized info you can apply directly to your VA business.

So, what's the deal?

AI is reshaping how we work, and knowing how to use it well will give you a real edge as a Virtual Assistant.

I’m fascinated by AI, so I’m always testing new tools and figuring out what genuinely makes a difference to my life and day-to-day work. I then distil what I learn into clear tips, strategies, and examples VAs can use in their own business, and with their clients.

Instead of wading through noisy groups or scattered posts, my Espresso AI newsletter delivers monthly, VA-specific insights to help you stay relevant, make more money and bring more value to your clients.

Issues include things such as:

  • Quick wins, like meeting summaries, research tables, and content repurposing.
  • Updates on AI changes and rollouts - what’s changed and what it means for you.
  • Demos and comparisons (like text-to-video or image generators) so you can choose the best ones fast.
  • Creative shortcuts for writing, images, video and social content.
  • Real-life examples of how VAs and other business owners are using AI.
  • Ethical guidance on using AI responsibly and securely.
  • Smart ways to future-proof your services as AI reshapes the industry.
  • Easy copy-and-paste prompts for a variety of VA tasks.
  • Productivity hacks to save time and increase profit.


AI isn't here to take your job; it's a tool to help you do your job better.

""AI isn't here to take your job; it's a tool to help you do your job better." Just what I needed to read after this week, as suddenly people are raving about how amazing ChatGPT is and how it can do things so quickly. I have to admit it terrifies me, but reading this on the Espresso AI welcome page helped put my mind at rest."

"I've just returned to being a Virtual Assistant after two years in employment and cannot believe the AI leap - I'm just getting up to speed with it now, but it's mind-blowing. I loved the newsletter, and it's already helped me explore new tools I was not aware of."

- Ellie Hogston


Hi, I'm Jo.

If we haven’t met yet, I’ve trained well over 1000 Virtual Assistants (many now running their own agencies), and I’m regularly voted the UK’s favourite VA coach.

And I freakin’ love AI.

It’s forever changed how Virtual Assistants work, and I spend a lot of time staying up to date and trying out new platforms.

You’ll find AI woven through my courses, and I’m always looking for new ways to help you use it to improve your businesses - as well as those of your clients.

Because clients expect their VA to stay up-to-date.

Now you can do that by subscribing to a dedicated, one-stop AI newsletter specifically written for Virtual Assistants.
