Proactive Preference Learning

Service that
compounds.

Your assistant team keeps a running profile of your standards, routines, vendors, and contacts. Month by month, the team anticipates needs rather than waits for instructions — the goal is to solve problems before you know they exist.

Member voices

Hours back.
Sanity restored.

Members reporting actual time reclaimed, actual rebookings, actual household coordination — across founders, working parents, and multi-generational households.

Texted my assistant at 11pm about a flight cancellation. By the time I woke up I had a new itinerary, a comped hotel night, and my morning meetings already moved. I haven't called an airline once since I joined.

14 hrs/week

I run a four-person household with two careers and three kids. Lux Circle is the closest thing I've found to having a real chief of staff. The school pickup chaos alone justifies the subscription.

The Bennett Family

Atlanta, GA · Lux Circle since 2024

Tried two offshore VA services before this. The difference is night and day — the team here writes like Americans, picks up the phone like Americans, and doesn't need a 12-hour delay to respond.

Daniela P.

Miami, FL · Lux Solo since 2022

They booked a last-minute table at a place that 'doesn't take reservations.' I still don't know how. I've stopped asking.

Jordan H.

Los Angeles, CA · Lux Solo since 2024

Onboarding took 30 minutes. Within a week the team knew my coffee order, my flight preferences, and which vendors I trust. By month two they were anticipating things I hadn't asked for yet.

Priya M.

Boston, MA · Lux Solo since 2023

12 hrs/week

Coordinating my mother's specialist appointments from 600 miles away used to eat my entire Sunday. The Lux Circle team handles the scheduling and follow-ups. I get a text summary instead of a panic.

Rachel K.

Denver, CO · Lux Circle since 2023

Email triage alone is worth the price. I went from 400 unread to inbox zero in a weekend, with the team learning which senders matter. Now they draft replies and I just approve.

Alex Z.

San Francisco, CA · Lux Solo since 2024

10 hrs/week

Birthday party for 22 kids with a custom cake, magician, and rented bounce house — start to finish, I made one phone call. The team handled vendors, invitations, and clean-up coordination.

The Iverson Household

Charlotte, NC · Lux Circle since 2022

I'm a founder. I delegated travel, vendor follow-up, and gift sourcing in week one. That's an EA-level workload at a fraction of W-2 cost — and it's available at 3am when I actually need it.

Common questions

Read before
you join.

The questions members ask most. If something here is unclear, the assistant team is staffed live, day or night.

  • How does onboarding work?
    After enrollment, your assistant team conducts an intake to learn your preferences, access needs, and priorities. You start delegating immediately — no ramp-up period, no learning curve on your end.
  • How does preference learning actually work?
    Your assistant keeps a running profile of your standards, routines, vendors, and contacts. Over time they anticipate needs rather than wait for instructions — the goal is to solve problems before you know they exist.
  • How does account sharing work on Lux Circle?
    Lux Circle covers up to four people under a single account. Each person can reach the assistant team directly, with shared context across the household so the team treats it as one coordinated operation.
  • What can't my assistant handle?
    Your assistant doesn't provide medical, legal, or financial advice, and won't execute illegal tasks or anything requiring a licensed professional. They will, however, research, book, and coordinate with the licensed professionals you engage.
  • How do I cancel or change plans?
    Membership is month-to-month and can be canceled anytime. To cancel or switch between Lux Solo and Lux Circle, reach out to your assistant team directly or contact support.
  • Is Approved Lux the same as Lux Traveler?
    No. Approved Lux is a standalone personal assistant service — the page you're on. Lux Traveler is the higher tier of the Approved Traveler product and includes an assistant bundled with travel benefits. If travel is your primary use case, Lux Traveler may be a better fit; if you need a full personal assistant across every area of life, Approved Lux is the service.
