Example action: Task assigned to Alex

Step 1 of 6 · Assign the task

Write the instructions, explain what a finished result needs to include, and assign an assistant.

Approval records the owner’s decision. Sending the client update happens in your email or other work tools.

What you can do

Organize the work from start to finish.

Keep the instructions, files, conversations, and progress for each task together.

Decide what to delegate

Answer questions about your business to get a suggested delegation plan, or choose a kit of roles and task instructions.

Explain the task

Describe what needs to be done, add step-by-step instructions, and explain what a finished result should include.

Assign and track work

Assign a teammate and due date. Your assistant can save progress, add a summary and link to the work, and submit it for review.

Review completed work

Read the submission, approve it, or ask for changes. Review notes stay with the task.

Keep projects organized

Group work into projects, save meeting notes, and track what needs to be delivered. Discuss tasks in comments or direct messages.

See what needs attention

See upcoming deadlines, work waiting for approval, logged time, and team reports.

Between the brief and the finished work

Make time, instructions, and decisions easier to share.

Owners can plan the workload and answer questions. Assistants can show when they are available, find instructions, and explain what they need to move forward.

Plan work across projects

Compare booked hours, available time, and time off for each person. Find an open slot, draft a booking, and check for overlaps. VAs can propose changes for a manager to review.

Keep useful instructions close

Save procedures, working agreements, meeting notes, and handoff documents. Start from a template and share with named teammates when ready.

Make messages easier to understand

Adjust the tone of a draft or translate a message with AI assistance. Review the result before using it; sending stays in your control.

Explain work and ask for decisions

Record a screen walkthrough, download it, and add a hosted link with notes. Keep questions and blockers in shared records with a decision owner and a needed-by date.

See how the team tools work

For you and the assistants you work with.

Use DelegateHQ to manage research, content preparation, client updates, and administrative work. It is designed for business owners, consultants, agencies, and ecommerce teams working with virtual assistants.

DelegateHQ does not recruit assistants or manage payroll. You provide the people, tools, and judgment behind the work.

Not sure what to delegate?

Start with the VA Diagnostic. Answer questions about your business to get an AI-generated plan suggesting tasks to delegate, roles you may need, and work to keep yourself. You can edit the suggestions before using them.

Start the VA Diagnostic

One clear task is enough to start.

Describe the result, add context, and choose a deadline. Assign it now or save it until your assistant joins.
