It runs my worker's payroll every Tuesday from the settlement report

He is a delivery driver who employs a worker. Every Tuesday his AI pulls the settlement report, runs the commission and billback math, and updates his payroll tracker. The job used to eat a chunk of his evening each week. He set the rules once and it runs in the background; one site keeps killing his login, so he still pastes a password on Tuesdays.

How it works

  1. Pull the settlement report each Tuesday
  2. Run the commission and billback math
  3. Update the payroll tracker
  4. Stay silent unless something qualifies for his attention

Why it’s worth knowing

He is not a tech worker. He is a delivery driver who handed a weekly money job to an agent and mostly stopped thinking about it.
