What to hand off What an agent can do for you.
An AI agent on a computer of its own works the way a person at that computer would. It opens the browser or the app, signs in, clicks through, types, and checks the result where it landed. The best jobs are the ones you repeat.
Jobs that suit an agent
For example:
- Sign into the supplier or billing portals each month, download the invoices and send them to the bookkeeper.
- Copy new orders or bookings from one system into another that has no connection to it.
- Pull the numbers from a few dashboards into the Monday report.
- Keep the spreadsheet or CRM up to date after each sale or call.
- Try your own website's booking or checkout flow and say what's broken.
What makes a job a good fit
- You repeat it. Every week, every day, or after every sale.
- It happens on screen, in a browser or a desktop app.
- There's a result you can check: a file saved, a record updated, a report sent.
- The steps are the same each time, even when the details change.
What isn't a fit
Part of checking the fit is saying what isn't worth handing to an agent. I'll tell you plainly, usually in the first conversation.
- Jobs a simple automation or the software you already have can do more reliably.
- Decisions that need your judgment each time.
- Anything that has to run entirely offline.
- Desktop programs that don't check out when I look at them.
Websites and desktop programs
Websites and web apps are the most straightforward fit. Desktop programs can work too: I check each one, with its logins, two-factor steps and licences, before we agree on anything.
Where to start
Pick the job you'd most like off your plate and tell me about it in your own words. One job is a good start. Add more once it's working.
