LessonWe have not tested this ourselves

Have an agent phone businesses with a simple question

A small business marketer tested Genspark's calling feature, which phones businesses listed on Google Maps and sends back a transcript and summary. A call asking a church about its young adults group went well. A dinner booking for 10 stalled when the host asked what time, and the reservation was never finished.

The lesson: Good for quick questions. Give it every detail it might be asked, or keep bookings for yourself.

Call [BUSINESS NAME] in [CITY] and ask: [QUESTION 1] and [QUESTION 2]. If they ask for details, here they are: [DATE], [TIME], [NUMBER OF PEOPLE], [NAME]. Don't agree to pay for anything. Send me the transcript and a two-line summary.

Turn supplier invoice emails into a spreadsheet, with the sums checked before anything is saved

A consultant who builds workflows for small UK businesses shared a free n8n template. It only watches one Gmail label for supplier invoices, has an AI model read each PDF into fixed fields like supplier, dates, net, VAT and total, then checks the math in plain code: net plus VAT has to match the total and the line items have to add up. Invoices that pass go into a Google Sheet, and anything that fails lands on an Exceptions tab with the reason, so a person takes a look. She notes it can't read scanned invoices and doesn't catch duplicates yet.

Check each supplier invoice against its purchase order, line by line, before anyone approves it

A poster in the Make Community built a scenario that picks up supplier invoices from Gmail, saves the PDF to Google Drive and reads the text with Google's OCR. Plain text rules pull out the invoice number and the purchase order number, and Make finds the matching order in a Drive folder. A Make AI Agent then compares the two line by line and marks each line as a match, a match with different wording, a mismatch or missing, with an overall status of approved, discrepancy found or escalated. The result and the agent's reasoning go into a Google Sheet. He tested it on three invoices: one matched despite different wording, one was flagged for a wrong quantity, and one was escalated because a line had no match.
