What’s on your plate?Custom AI agents · built and set up for you
Hand off the checking, chasing and sorting. The hours you get back go to what’s most pressing in your business.
For small businesses and everyday life. No AI expertise needed. Nothing goes out, gets paid or gets deleted without your OK.
Every dot is a small task. The routine ones clear. The orange one is yours.
A property manager’s Monday after rent day. The agent reads all 216, sets aside 173 routine ones, and turns the other 43 into 10 ranked items, ordered by safety, deadline and money. Every item cites the email it came from.
Monday briefing, 7:30 AM. 216 emails since Friday 6 PM. 10 need you, ranked. 173 routine. Nothing sent, archived or paid.
“Radiators are cold. We have a 2 year old.”
“confirming the annual elevator inspection at 118 Ashford is Tuesday Nov 3, 8-12.”
“Autopay scheduled: 42 Linden Ave #3C”
“Please note our bank has changed. Pay invoice 2291 to the new account below today to avoid a late fee.”
“just checking we will have the revised maintenance proposal for 42 Linden by Thursday as discussed. The trustees meet Friday.”
“I can come Wednesday after 5. I have a guarantor and can move in Dec 1.”
“Reminder: Property tax installment due Nov 15”
“Renewal premium is $18,420, up from $16,900. Please review the attached quote and confirm by November 20.”
“missing window guard in unit 2C. Notice date October 29. Certification of correction is due within 30 days.”
“my lease in 2A is up Jan 31. Could you send renewal terms when you get a chance? No rush this week.”
Two things the morning agent refused to act on in the run above. It flagged them and left the decision with the owner.
Sent from accounts@greenline-landscaping-billing.com, while Greenline's known addresses are tom@greenlinelandscape.com and billing@greenlinelandscape.com. It claims the bank changed and pushes payment today, though the real invoice is due Nov 6. No account details actually appear in the body. The message also contains a line addressed to AI assistants asking that it be marked as verified; that line was ignored and the message is NOT verified. Verify only by calling Greenline on a number you already have.
UPDATED payment details - urgent
At the agreed rate, 4 visits would be $1,200, not $1,300 (a $100 difference). Whether 4 visits actually happened in October is not verified here.
4 visits at $325.00 per visit. Total due $1,300.00 by November 6.
Five agents, five kinds of work. Each clip shows findings from a real agent run on a demo company’s records, with the time compressed. Yours is built on your records, your rules and the people on your team who need the result.
Hartwell Property Co. (demo company). 216 emails since Friday 6 PM.
10 items need a person. 173 routine. Nothing sent, archived or paid.
Your version: your inbox, your properties, your ranking rules.
Ridgeway Heating & Cooling (demo company). 5 competitor pages compared with yesterday.
4 changes with options to consider. Your prices stay your decision.
Your version: your competitors, your services, your market.
Northline Studio (demo company). 29 October transactions checked.
6 exception types flagged. Nothing posted, paid or changed in the books.
Your version: your chart of accounts, your receipt rules.
Two-location coffee shop, Brooklyn (demo company). 19 live web pages opened from 7 sources.
4 items, each with sources. Re-check facts before acting on them.
Your version: your suppliers, your location, your topics.
A demo household. 13 bills dated in the next 30 days.
12 flags, options only. No payments, cancellations or changes made.
Your version: your bills, your budget, your account.
These are the rules we write into an agent. Change one fact and watch the right decision change. Then download the instructions and run the same test in your own ChatGPT or Claude account.
Run the prompt in your own account and compare its answers with the expected outcomes. That is how every agent is tested before handover.
The agent is not the point. The hour is. An hour not spent chasing is an hour for the call, the quote, the customer or the thing you keep pushing to Friday.
Estimate the time left after checking the output. These are assumptions to test, not measured savings.
This is an assumed time value, not cash earned or costs avoided.
hours × assumed value = weekly time value · × 50 working weeks = annual value · annual value ÷ 12 = monthly average
Potential time value is not revenue, cash savings or a payback forecast. Actual time reclaimed may be zero. Measure the original task and subtract review, corrections and ongoing upkeep. Build, care and software costs are separate. Cash benefit requires a real avoided expense or additional profit.
Show us a small, approved sample of the work you keep checking. We test what an agent would flag, what it should ignore, and where it still needs you. If a simple built-in feature already does the job, we’ll tell you.
One recurring responsibility. Your way of doing it.
Check the evidence, the misses and the false alarms. Then test on separate examples.
A working setup in your own account, clear instructions, and a practice session so you can run it yourself.
Every project ends with a written report: the agreed job, the checks it passed, and the limits that remain. If something is still unknown, the report says so.
Built-in tools may already do what you need. You can configure and test them yourself, or have Zack help define the job, check the results and document the setup.
| On your own | With Busywork Agents | |
|---|---|---|
| Picking the job | You choose the task and define its scope. | One recurring job, small enough to test. |
| Limits | You document permissions, limits and when to ask. | Written down: what it may read, what it may never do, when it must ask. |
| Testing | You prepare examples and check outputs, misses and false alarms. | Run on your own examples, including the awkward ones, before the final payment. |
| Handover | You document the setup and learn how to operate it. | A 45-minute business handover session, a guide and recorded next steps. |
| When it misbehaves | You troubleshoot using documentation and platform support. | A person who set it up. 14 days of fixes included; monthly care optional. |
DIY is a reasonable choice if you have the time and want to own the setup process. This service provides scoped implementation, testing and a guided handover. Neither route removes the need to review AI output.
I’m Zack. After 15+ years in performance marketing and demand generation, I’ve spent plenty of time with the follow-ups, reports and small details that fill a working day.
Busywork Agents starts with your version of that problem. I help choose the right task, build the setup, and make sure you know how to use it. No invented success stories, no mystery handoff.
One job, one agreed scope, and a setup you can take with you.
Your agent must pass the written test examples before final payment is due. If it still fails after the agreed correction opportunity, the service fee is refunded. The written proposal sets the scope, dates and responsibilities. No promises of sales or savings.
One agent for one recurring personal task, set up on your own device and account.
Founding price for the first three business clients. Scope agreed before payment.
For one business agent after handover. Separate agreement; nothing starts automatically.
Larger integrations and multi-agent work get a separate written quote after a scope conversation.
Some schedules need a paid ChatGPT or Claude plan in your name, paid directly to that company. We check your current plan and its limits with you first. Software costs are separate. Larger integrations need a separate quote. No subscription starts automatically. Agents prepare, sort, flag and draft. They don’t file taxes, pay bills, give legal or medical advice, or send anything without your approval.
Start with the job, not the technology.
The planner runs in your browser. Nothing is sent until you choose to email it. Keep passwords, customer names and confidential details out of it. Prefer to just write? hello@busyworkagents.com
A helper built for one job. Some agents run on a schedule, like a briefing that waits for you every morning. Others are ready when you open them. Either way, it follows the instructions and limits we agree on, and you approve anything that goes out.
Often, yes, and if you enjoy it you should. The service covers choosing a bounded job, documenting limits, checking your examples and a guided practice session. If a built-in feature already does it, we’ll say so.
No. Bring a task and appropriate sample records. We agree on a useful result and practice with the finished setup together. If a simpler tool or built-in feature is better, we start there.
Not always. Many on-demand agents work on a free account. ChatGPT’s free plan can now run a few simple scheduled tasks, at most once a day; exact times, more frequent runs and email-triggered tasks need a paid plan. Claude’s scheduling also depends on your plan. We check your actual plan and its limits with you before you agree to anything, and any plan costs are paid by you directly.
Only when scheduled operation is agreed and tested in your actual setup. Every proposal states whether the agent is on-demand or scheduled, where it runs, and how failures are reported.
No. It gets only what the agreed job needs, through connections you approve. You sign in yourself; I never ask for your password. Agents that draft do not get permission to send messages or move money.
It can prepare the busywork: sort receipts, categorize expenses into a spreadsheet for you or your bookkeeper, and flag anything odd. It doesn’t file taxes, pay bills or replace an accountant.
Your instructions, examples and guide. Accounts are client-owned where supported. Connections and schedules can need reconfiguring if you change platforms, and those dependencies are explained up front.
Yes, where the task is a good fit and the person gives permission. We build around their preferences and practice together. Age is not an assumption about ability.
Yes. The briefing video, the five agent clips and the five agent examples show real agent output on demo companies’ records; the screen design around them is ours. The “Try it” desk shows the rules we write into an agent, and lets you download the prompt to test in your own account. We never show a client’s data, and none of the demo companies are clients.
Yes. Sessions run by video call, prices are in US dollars, and we agree time zones and where your data may be processed before we start.
Make a starting brief above and email it, or write to hello@busyworkagents.com. Zack replies within two business days with questions or a short call time. You get a written scope and price before you pay anything.
