Use cases · Finance & billing

Get paid on time, without being the one who chases.

Chasing invoices is awkward and easy to postpone. AgentWorks agents watch receivables, send polite escalating reminders from your own inbox, recover failed card payments and put the numbers in front of you every Monday.

How this team runs on agents

A goal on top. Agents doing the work. People approving what matters.

Goal Illustrative

“Collect overdue payments”

Overdue invoices6.2% of receivables

Agents own the target end to end. Every day the number is checked and what is not working gets changed.

Flow

Invoice → reminder

Read overdue invoices, write a polite reminder from your own inbox, attach the invoice, escalate step by step.

How it works

You set the target. The agents keep working until it's hit.

  1. Set the goal

    Pick a premade agent or describe the outcome, then agree the metric and target with us.

  2. Run

    Agents work through your tools on a schedule. You choose which actions run on their own and which wait for a person; we agree those rules during setup.

  3. Measure

    Every run records what it did and what it moved, so you see progress, not activity.

  4. Review each run, improve the next

    What broke gets fixed, what didn't work gets dropped, and the next idea gets tried.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Will it email my customers?

From your own mailbox, in your tone, and only after your approval until you tell it otherwise. Key accounts can get a softer template. The Docs guide "Approvals and autonomy" explains the four levels.

Does it touch money?

No. It reads invoices and payment status and sends reminders; it never moves money.

What does the weekly report include?

Revenue, overdue invoices, failed payments and anything unusual, with the numbers behind each line.
