AI Agent vs Virtual Assistant

VA = human with judgment, empathy, but $15-30/h. Agent = $0.02/task but no common sense.

Task Split That Works for Small Teams

• Agent does: data entry, lead list building, first draft, scheduling
• Human VA does: client calls, nuanced negotiation, final QA, relationship

Cost Math for Myanmar / SE Asia Context

VA in Myanmar: $3-6/h. Agent: $0.01-0.10/task. For 100 invoices/month, agent saves $200. For 10 high-value client emails, human still better.

Future: VA + Agent = Super VA

Best VAs now use agents as tools. Hire VA who knows agents.
