Top 10 FAQs
  • Will I work with the same GYST Assistant everytime?
    Yes! You will be matched with a GYST Assistant and build a relationship with that one Assistant over time. If you need an extra set of hands you can always request a second GYST Assistant.
  • Do GYST Assistants work onsite and in person, or virtually/remotely?"
    All of the above. Our program is designed to include one onsite session each week and we strongly recommend designating at least one day each week that your GYST Assistant will work from your residence. This allows you and your GYST Assistant to establish a cadence and build a strong foundation. You don’t have to be home for that day, but you will know that every Tuesday (or whatever day you choose) your standing set of weekly errands and any other onsite tasks and projects will be advanced or completed. Your GYST Assistant may work remotely between onsite sessions to keep projects moving forward, but GYST is not a virtual assistance service and our program works optimally with an onsite component.
  • How much does it cost to work with a GYST Assistant and does GYST have usage minimums?
    Membership to GYST includes an annual fee of $2,500 and a monthly service package. Our service packages, or levels of engagement, start at a minimum of 40 hours per month for $3,600/month. Read more about our levels of engagement here.
  • What does my annual membership fee get me?
    Your Annual Membership to GYST gives you access to exclusive GYSTList partner offers, enrollment in our Pyggy Bank purchasing program, a 1Password storage vault for use with your GYST Assistant, access to our entire team of GYST Assistants for special events, travel or large projects and simplified project management, powered by Trello. We are always introducing new partners in our GYSTList program and implementing new Client programs that further streamline your work with your GYST Assistant.
  • How is my privacy protected when I work with GYST?
    All GYST Assistants have served in roles where non disclosure was paramount and have a thorough understanding of the boundaries therein. We are happy to consider your personal NDA and have a supplemental NDA available for all GYST Clients. Password storage is facilitated by 1Password, the industry leader in online password management, and our Pyggy Bank allows you to give your GYST Assistant purchasing power without access to your credit card information.
  • What type of Clients does GYST serve?
    GYST Assistants support high net worth individuals and families, public figures, executives and serial entrepreneurs. GYST works best for those who value time above all else, but find themselves spending limited free time on tasks that are not priorities. Our Clients enjoy full lives and rely on GYST Assistants to provide them freedom to focus on what matters most.
  • How do you match Clients with GYST Assistants?
    GYST Assistants are matched with Clients based on experience, skill set, personality and availability. GYST Clients always meet the recommended Assistant before officially beginning work together.
  • Where do you find GYST Assistants and how are they assessed for hiring?
    GYST Assistants have at least 2 years of experience working in a personal or executive assistant role for a prominent individual, family or celebrity before coming to GYST. Most of our Assistants are referred by current Assistants or find us themselves. All GYST Assistants engage in our 5 step assessment program which includes several interviews, 5 reference checks and background checks.
  • Are GYST Assistants on call or on demand?
    Our Assistants are not on call. GYST Assistants are reasonably available from 8am-6pm M-F, and weekends on request, but are not the right solution if you need exclusively urgent and of the moment support. You can expect a response from your GYST Assistant within 24 hours, and most often, within 4 hours and you always have the GYST Team behind you. For occasional urgent and of the moment requests, please contact your Account Manager.
