His agent watches his trains and files the delay compensation claim on its own

The same AI setup watches a man's work train travel and sends him updates on delays and platform changes. When his train is delayed, it applies for the delay compensation by itself, with no claim form work from him.

How it works

The AI reads his travel details from his email
It watches his trains and sends delay and platform updates
