Most lists of AI agent examples are lists of categories: "customer support", "scheduling", "data entry". Here are eight specific jobs instead, each one a Library starter in Tensor Autonomous, stated in the exact line it was published with and proven on a real inbox or calendar in October 2026. For each: what arrives, what the agent does, and what stays with you.
1. Reply to rental inquiries
Drafts a short, friendly reply to each rental inquiry from your listing facts, ready for you to send.
You hand it: "Is the 2-bedroom on Maple Row still available for November, and can I bring my dog? He's about 30 lb." The agent reads your listing facts (availability, pets, parking, rent) and drafts the answer in your Gmail. You send it. It never quotes a fact you did not give it.
2. Log maintenance requests
Logs each tenant's maintenance request with its urgency and drafts a reply that says what was logged.
You hand it: a leaking sink, a bucket under it, home all day Tuesday. The agent adds a row to your maintenance log with the unit, the issue and the urgency, and drafts the acknowledgement. Calling the plumber is yours.
3. Book showings
Books each showing request on your calendar at a free time within your showing hours, or says why it can't.
You hand it: "Book a showing of 48 Maple Row, unit 2A, for Priya Shah next Thursday at 2pm." The agent reads Thursday on your calendars and adds one 30-minute showing when the time is free; existing events stay unchanged and no one is invited. The proposed event waits for your OK until you set limits.
4. Log new leads and draft a reply
Logs each new client inquiry in your leads sheet and drafts a reply that asks for a short call.
You hand it: a three-person consultancy wanting a website and monthly SEO, budget stated, start in November. The agent adds the row with what they asked for, their budget and timing, and drafts a reply asking for a 20-minute call. Deciding whether to take the call is yours.
5. Follow up on open quotes
Drafts a friendly follow-up for each quote with no answer after 5 days, and notes it in your quotes sheet.
You hand it: "Follow up on my open quotes today", or put it on a schedule. The agent reads your quotes sheet (status Sent, the date sent, a Follow-up drafted column), finds the quiet ones, drafts a follow-up for each and fills in the Follow-up drafted cell, then skips those rows next time. You send the drafts. Once the starter is yours you can change the 5 days.
6. Handle cleaning booking requests
Logs each cleaning booking request and drafts a reply with the price range from your price list.
You hand it: a deep clean of a 3-bedroom house, weekday mornings next week. The agent logs the request and drafts the reply with the range from your price list. The final price and the date are yours.
7. Voicemail to callback list
Turns each voicemail email into a row on your callback list, with the caller, number and reason.
You hand it: the voicemail notification your phone system already emails you, transcript included. The agent adds one row: who called, from what number, about what. Nothing is sent; the callback is yours. This is not phone answering; it is the list you meant to keep.
8. Answer event date inquiries
Checks your calendar for each date inquiry, holds a free date for 7 days and drafts the reply.
You hand it: "Is Saturday, November 14 available for our wedding reception? About 120 guests." The agent reads the date on your Google Calendar, adds one all-day hold when it is free, and drafts the reply with the date already checked. The reply says the date is held for 7 days; the hold stays on your calendar until you remove it.
What all eight have in common
- One line each. If a job cannot be stated in a sentence, it is not ready to be handed to an agent.
- Started by you, or by new mail. Hand it the request, or turn on Start from new email so new inquiries start it within about a minute.
- A record, a draft, or both. Each writes a row or an event, drafts a message, or both. Nothing is sent by the agent.
- Approval first, limits later. Each shows you its change and waits, drafts included. When you trust it, you set limits (which kinds of change may run without asking (adding a row, creating a draft, adding an event), a daily cap, a days-and-hours window, and for each write an amount ceiling and a limit on recipients) and it runs within them. Sending always asks.
- A receipt every run: what it read, what it wrote and read back, what it drafted, who approved what.
Jobs that are not on the list yet (overdue invoice reminders, the weekly client update, chasing a vendor) you describe in your own words, and Tensor sets them up the same way.
