Why it matters
Money tasks are tedious but high-stakes, which is exactly where a careful agent helps: it does the checking and paperwork while a person keeps the final say. It is one of 74 sightings filed under Finance on Agent Sightings (number 35 by interest), and one of 1 involving Multi-agent underwriting (OpenAI).
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Multi-agent underwriting (OpenAI) or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
For this loan file, check the documents are complete, run the credit checks step by step, and tell me what is still needed before closing. List each step's result so a banker can verify it.
Tip: Keep the agent in 'propose, don't pay' mode: let it gather numbers and draft messages, and approve any payment or account change yourself.
