If your role as an EA means you organise
meetings in multiple languages then
Interprefy could save you time and money.

Foobot.io
Indoor air is up to eight times more polluted than
the air outside (and high air quality is said to
increase productivity and energy in the office). So,
if you’re looking to boost work performance, ask
the boss to invest in Foobot. It’s a smart monitor
that uses advanced data processing to help take
control of the air quality inside. The clever system
constantly scans the air for readings including
temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide – and
learns the habits of those in the space. If the air
quality is poor, the device will provide warnings
and advice on how to keep the office fresh.
