OpenAI released an Agents SDK that lets freelancers automate invoicing. Two agents work together: one searches a client table to find unpaid invoices, the other creates and sends Stripe invoices automatically. The whole workflow runs in the background without manual work.
Every freelancer's dream is to have extra employees that they don't have to worry about. OpenAI released the Agents SDK, which is a way to employ agents in your company relatively simply, I suppose. And there's really powerful examples of how it can be used for, let's say, invoicing in your company. And it's an example of a freelancer having sort of a list of all the people he served that month. And in some form he expressed that, hey, these people have paid and these people have not paid. This is a perfect example for an AI tool. I mean, look at this little table right here. It's a little check mark or a cross. Maybe this was created in Notion or heck, this could even be be a handwritten note that you just provide to the agent. But as you can see, it lists all the clients. And then together with two little agents, one responsible for searching the files and one responsible for actually making the stripe invoices from stripe site, the agents could kind of look at this little table and go for everything and automatically issue and send out emails with all the invoices that were still missing. And this way you can weave together different functionalities, different apps, and create these little programs that run with agents in the background and get everyday tasks done.
