AI agents for the back office

Invoicing, compliance, scheduling and admin still eat small businesses alive. Build the agent that just does it.

The problem

Small businesses lose hours every week to invoices, chasing payments, booking, bookkeeping and compliance. The tools exist, but they all need a person to drive them — and that person is usually the founder at 11pm.

What we want to see

  • An agent that owns one painful workflow end-to-end — not a chatbot that suggests things
  • Plugs into the tools businesses already use (email, WhatsApp, accounting, calendars)
  • Clear, measurable time or money saved in the first week
  • A human-in-the-loop where it matters, invisible everywhere else

Who should build it

Engineers who love automation, and operators who’ve felt the admin pain first-hand.

Signals we look for

  • You’ve talked to 10+ small business owners
  • A working demo on one real workflow
  • Someone would pay for it this month
