Yeah, if you can wrap shleps like this in a painless interface, it would be incredible.

Yeah, if you can wrap shleps like this in a painless interface, it would be incredible. I would pay _a lot of money_ for that. Especially for stuff like "Dispatch someone credible-sounding to stand in line and negotiate as my agent with large shitty ossified organization X," where X might be a post office, utility company, embassy, real estate, etc, where their user experience disrepects my time. The dev who sits next to me has been trying to buy a house for a month, and he spends ~50% of his time on the phone with home inspectors, contractors, the title office and similar, basically telling them trivial facts or participating in silly naggy negotiations where they're basically gambling that he won't push back on the twentieth little crappy line item this week. This is a super-real pain point.
