❤️ About Poppy AI

Poppy is building the future of creator monetization.
We went from $0 → $500K/month in less than a year, with a trajectory toward a $100M–$1B valuation.

Their schedules change constantly.
Their life and business blend into one universe.

To keep pace with this growth, we need an Executive Assistant who is not just an assistant — but the architect of the founder’s entire life.
