Here is this pay period's substitute tracker and our staff pay list. For each teacher, show regular hours, sick hours to remove, and cover hours to add. Then list parents who subbed and the tuition credit each should get. Don't change anything in QuickBooks; give me a table to check first.

RC Health Services, an EMT training school with 17 locations, used an AI agent like an operations assistant for two days. It fixed listings, cleaned the email list and turned the website chatbot into an enrollment helper. The owner's message was posted, with his OK, by a friend who works at the company that makes Grok Bot.
A Connecticut venue owner used Claude Code to build 80+ n8n workflows in 28 days: POS sales reports, food cost tracking, staff tools, an event CRM and demand forecasts, with no new monthly software fees.
An owner of several small Amazon brands replaced a hired bookkeeper with Claude, which keeps the books and a monthly ledger per brand, asking him about any charge it can't place.
