What are people actually using AI workers for, not chatbots?

I’m less interested in prompts and more interested in recurring jobs.

Examples:

• every Monday: summarize overdue invoices
• every morning: find support tickets that need escalation
• every Friday: create a vendor renewal risk list
• before each meeting: assemble the missing context

The difference is whether it produces an artifact someone can approve.

For me the boundary is simple: the AI worker can draft the report, flag the risky rows, and prepare the next action. A human still approves anything that emails a customer, changes a system of record, or spends money.

What recurring job would you actually trust an AI worker to run every week?
