His wife's payroll migration check covered 400 staff across 18 PDFs in five minutes
His wife was migrating almost 400 employees across two companies to a new payroll system and had to confirm every bank detail had carried over, two days before payday. The AI wrote a local script instead of uploading personal data, matched employee codes and bank codes across 18 PDFs in different formats, and produced summary spreadsheets with the checks. The script can be rerun for the next migration.
How it works
- PDFs gathered locally
- The AI writes a checking script
- Script matches employee codes and bank codes old against new
- Summary spreadsheets built with a sheet per sub organisation
- Mismatches reviewed by hand
Why it’s worth knowing
The privacy choice is part of the case: the script ran locally because the data was other people's bank details.
