Pulls the weekly numbers and drafts the commentary. I still sign it off.

Meeting notes

GBP 22 / seat

Transcribe, summarise, assign. The only tool the team adopted without being asked.

First draft in minutes. Cuts a two-day job to half a day.

Sales

Payroll agent

GBP 240 / mo

Six weeks in. Two approvals stay manual, permanently.

Sorts and drafts. Saves an hour a day, misses about one thing a week.

Nobody asked it anything twice. Our documentation was the real problem.

Team
