Yes, that's correct. One of the many functions of an executive assistant for a senior executive is to manage the email inbox and the calendar.

Each principal has a slightly different set of rules with their EAs, and you could imagine similar differentiation with how people customize their own AI agents to get the best balance of keeping your inbox clean vs. not causing your email to turn into a weapon against you.
