[01]What it does/ Back office

The chasing happens whether or not anyone has time.

Back office is the work that has no deadline until it becomes a problem. knot chases what is owed, follows up what was never answered, and reads what arrives so a person is not retyping a document into a system at nine at night.

[02]Why this is brokenthe problem

The chasing only happens when someone remembers to do it.

An invoice goes unpaid for six weeks because the person who would chase it has a full week of actual work. A supplier never replied and nobody noticed. The file arrived, but as four photos in a WhatsApp thread.

[03]What the agent actually does5 jobs
  1. Chase what is unpaid

    Follows an invoice on a schedule you set, in your tone, and stops the moment it is settled or someone says stop.

  2. Follow up suppliers

    Notices the quote or confirmation that never came back and asks again, rather than waiting for someone to spot the gap.

  3. Read what arrives

    Classifies and checks documents against the list they were meant to satisfy, including the ones that arrive as phone photos.

  4. Build the checklist

    Works out which documents this entity, job or customer actually needs, then requests them in one message instead of five.

  5. Keep the audit trail

    Logs every message, every disclosure and every hand-off, with the AI identified, in the form the reviewer needs.

[05]Questions3 answers
Will it hassle our customers?
It follows the frequency you set and it stops when someone asks it to, permanently. Where a channel has its own rules, such as WhatsApp's 24-hour window and approved templates, it works inside them rather than around them. Chasing that annoys people costs you more than the invoice.
Does this replace our bookkeeper or our accountant?
No, and we would not sell it that way. It does the chasing and the collecting so the qualified person spends their week on the judgement calls rather than on asking a customer for the same document a fourth time.
What if a document comes in badly?
That is the normal case, not the edge case. Four photos of a passport at an angle in a WhatsApp thread is what actually arrives, so the agent is built to read that and tell you what is still missing.
