How we judge

Three tiers would be tidier and would hide the two most common real answers. There is a large difference between “the agent does the work and you approve it” and “the agent does the filing and you do the thinking”, and collapsing them is how people end up disappointed.

YES19

An agent does the whole job. You look at the output, not the work.

MOSTLY25

An agent does the work and hands you a decision. Minutes a day, not hours.

HALF14

An agent clears the mechanical majority. The part people are paid for stays yours.

NOT YET7

An agent can assist around the edges. Handing it the job would be a mistake.

1. 01

   Break the job into steps

   Nobody has a job that is one task. Accounting is nine things. The step list is the actual work of the page, and the verdict at the top is only a summary of it.

2. 02

   Rate each step on capability, not on hype

   The test is whether a competent person could set this up with today’s tools and stop checking it daily within a month. Demos do not count. Roadmaps do not count.

3. 03

   Then rate it again on consequence

   Payroll is not technically harder than bookkeeping, and it is rated lower, because a mistake hits a colleague on a fixed date and is painful to reverse. Where the downside is severe and irreversible, the verdict drops.

4. 04

   Check what the law says

   Some steps are not a capability question at all. Signing accounts, making hiring decisions, giving legal advice and clinical triage are constrained by regulation regardless of how good the model gets.

5. 05

   Summarise honestly

   The job verdict is roughly the weakest link that matters, not the average. A job with eight excellent steps and one you cannot afford to get wrong is not a YES.

Hours per week are an estimate of what an agent takes off one person doing that job full time, counting only the steps rated agent-ready. Costs are indicative ranges for a small European business — a bookkeeper in Amsterdam and one in Lisbon are not the same line item, and neither is yours. Treat both as orders of magnitude, not quotes.

The total on the front page adds up every job on the site. No business does all sixty-one, so read it as the size of the category rather than a promise about your calendar.

This site is made by Ogento, who build agents for a living. That is a conflict of interest, so it is worth saying plainly what we do about it: the verdicts are written to be right rather than to be useful to us. Of 65 jobs, 21 (32%) are rated half or not-yet, and 7 say plainly that you should not hand the job over at all. A page that oversold an agent would cost us more than it earned, because the person who believed it would be back within a month, angry.

These verdicts have a shelf life. Several of them were a tier lower eighteen months ago and will move again. If your experience contradicts a page — either because you have an agent doing something we said it could not, or because one of our YES verdicts blew up in your face — that is the most useful thing you could tell us, and the second case more than the first.

Every page carries the date it was last reviewed. This one: 2026-08-15.
