Agents reconcile thousands of messy records and chase the people who can clear the odd ones

Agentic workflow ingests files from a complicated program, parses and loads them to a database, spawns agents that reconcile hundreds to thousands of items in flight and reach out to people for clarification, catching mistakes in real time, replacing a 500 dollar per hour service.

  3. Agents reconcile hundreds to thousands of items in flight
