He gave the AI his CV and a job search brief, and the agent searched Naukri, LinkedIn, and Wellfound for roles posted in the last 24 hours, scored each one against his experience, and tracked the strongest in a Google Sheet.

Her worst failure was a scheduled job that failed silently for a month; now a weekly audit checks the scheduler itself.
