A Personal Assistant for the Rest of Us


Sunday is a new company offering 24/7 personal assistance over the internet.

For $29 for 30 task requests, users can simply write an e-mail to Sunday to have any task taken care of. You can send your travel itinerary and they’ll book you flights or find a hotel with specific amenities and rates. You can give them the name of your dentist and get an appointment, make dinner reservations or track down tickets to a sold-out show.

For $20 per hour, you can have someone run your errands, pick up groceries and - my favorite - even wait on line for you at the DMV.

Sunday’s agents can also give you a wake-up call in the morning, tell you the weather, and send you an e-mail in the middle of the day to update you on sports scores.

Could brands offer this as a personal service to their loyal customers? Integrating their own best service or product features?

    Hi,

    This is Avinash Samudrala, co-founder of Sunday.

    I want to thank Hashem for giving us a write-up. In response to his post, we are essentially creating a human interface for sites like Zipcar, Seamlessweb, FreshDirect, etc. because you can securely store your passwords with us for these sites and our agents can take action on your behalf. So, I do feel certain brands/sites can use us to deepen the interaction with the customer and create more loyalty for their brand without tremendous costs. I am a firm believer that the more direct interaction you have with your customer the more loyalty they will have.

    As we are just starting out and trying to drive awareness, we are letting people try a free month by entering the promo code "mobility" at sign-up. We are convinced that once people give it a whirl they will be hooked.

    Best,

    Avi
