# Catch AI $5M seed for executive assistant

> Catch has emerged from stealth with a $5 million seed round to build an AI executive assistant that takes over the administrative grind, scheduling, email triage, and travel booking, and actually acts rather than just suggesting. During its quiet period the company says it already arranged more than 12,000 meetings, a sign it has been running real workloads rather than just demos. The design detail worth noting is its splinter agents architecture, in which multiple specialized agents divide up the work, and the company says the system is SOC 2 compliant, an early nod to the security and trust concerns that come with letting software into your calendar and inbox. It is a small round in a crowded space, since every major assistant is chasing the same admin tasks, but the appeal is concrete. Executive assistants are expensive and scarce, and a tool that reliably handles the logistical overhead of knowledge work targets a genuine, universal pain point. The open question, as always with autonomous agents, is whether it can be trusted to act without constant supervision.
