The ask
Sent verbatim as the prompt. The agent works in a copy of the workspace below and sees nothing else.
Deborah needs our 2025 payroll summarized by quarter: gross wages, taxes withheld and net pay. Both payroll exports are in the folder and her note says how she wants it counted. Save it as payroll_q.xlsx with live formulas so she can trace the totals.
