A supplier invoice arrives by email. The agent reads it, checks the numbers, drafts the bill in Xero, and stops for approval. You click once. It posts the bill, files the PDF, and confirms — every step written down.

sound familiar?

The admin that piles up while you’re busy.

Most of it arrives while you’re on site, with a customer or at the school gate. Here’s what happens when an agent picks it up.

You’re on a roof when the job request lands.

The job is in Fergus and the customer has been texted before you’re back in the van.

Customers text back while your hands are full.

The agent answers, rebooks and updates the job. Only the odd one needs you.

Friday is invoice day. Again.

Each invoice is read, checked and drafted in Xero as it arrives. You approve the pile in one go.

The thing you meant to send on Friday is still in your head.

Reminders, follow-ups and lodgements go out on time, every time — after you’ve seen the ones that matter.

how it works

Set up an agent the way you’d brief a new starter.

No flowcharts, no code. Tell the Manager what you want in plain English and it builds the agent. Watch it rehearse on your real email with nothing sent. Then it’s off your plate.

1 · Describe it

“When a job request comes in, set the job up in Fergus and text the customer.” The Manager writes the instructions and asks what it may use.

2 · Rehearse it

Run the job on real data. Nothing is sent, created or changed — you get a plain list of what it would have done.

3 · Let it run

From then on it starts on its own, and comes to you with questions and anything you’ve asked to approve.

How Polytask is different from ChatGPT and Claude.

You’ve probably had one draft emails, tidy a spreadsheet, maybe run a task each morning. That’s your work, in your chat. The jobs a business runs on start on their own, reach your customers, live in industry software — and someone else has to sign off.

  • Who is it for?Assistant · Usually one person, working in a chat.Polytask · The business. Your whole team shares the same agents.
  • When does it work?Assistant · When you ask, or at a time you set.Polytask · The moment an email, a text or an order arrives — or on a schedule. Nobody has to open anything.
  • Who does it talk to?Assistant · You.Polytask · Your customers, suppliers and crew — by text, WhatsApp and email.
  • Who signs off?Assistant · Whoever is in the chat.Polytask · Your team, on the website or by email, for the actions you choose.
  • Which software?Assistant · The big general apps — email, files, calendars.Polytask · Those, plus deep access to the software your industry runs on — Fergus, Simpro, Cybake, Xero Payroll, Xero Practice Manager — and websites with no connection at all.

handing it over

The questions everyone asks first.

“What if it sends something wrong?”

Choose which actions need a yes. For those, it stops, shows exactly what it’s about to send and waits for someone on your team.

“It’s touching my books…”

Rehearse it first on your real data. Nothing is sent, created or changed until you switch it on.

“What can it see?”

Only the mailbox, accounts and folders you tick. And every step it takes is written down.

“What will it cost?”

Most jobs cost well under a dollar. There are no seat fees, and you can set a monthly cap.

Start with one job.

We’re opening to a small group and setting each business up personally. We’ll build your first agent with you, rehearse it on your real email and documents with nothing sent, and switch it on when you’re happy.

Rehearse first with nothing sent, and choose what needs your OK.
