Give a whole job to an agent and get the result back
A task agent is set up to do one defined piece of work from start to finish. You review the outcome instead of doing the legwork.
Jobs that eat your time
Some work is too fiddly for a simple rule but too routine to deserve your attention. Reading through a batch of messages. Pulling details together from several places. Preparing a first draft of something you will only need to check.
They take time out of every week without needing your skill.
How it helps
- A named job is handled end to end, then handed back with a clear result.
- You stay in charge: anything uncertain is flagged for you to decide.
- The same job gets done the same way each time.
- Work that used to wait for a quiet hour now finishes in the background.
- Your team spends its time on the decisions that need a person.
Your list, before and after
- Read this week's supplier emails and note any price changes
- Chase new enquiries for the details they left out
- Draft replies to the routine questions
- Update the job list with what changed
- Decide which price changes to accept
- Price changes pulled out and summarised for you
- Missing details requested and filled in
- Replies drafted and waiting for your check
- Job list updated, with anything unclear flagged
- Decide which price changes to accept
A good match if
You can describe the job in a sentence or two, it comes round often, and you could explain to a new starter how to do it. If so, it is probably a candidate for an agent.
