Why it matters
Support is repetitive and time-sensitive. Agents can draft answers, look things up and handle simple requests, so people can focus on the tricky ones. It is one of 21 sightings filed under Customer Support on Agent Sightings (number 18 by interest), and one of 1 involving CORA (Google Public Sector).
How you could try it

Answer calls to the county's consumer-affairs line in any language, resolve what you can, and hand the rest to staff with a summary.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
