Procurement dropped a batch of scanned invoices on my desk and I must convert them to searchable text for extraction by tomorrow. Some scans are skewed and handwriting appears on two pages.

I’ll escalate any obviously altered documents.

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
