Use Claude and Comet to withdraw funds from a government scheme
I had about $2K in contributions from past jobs stuck in a government scheme for more than two years. The portal was slow, spread across several forms, and unclear about how to withdraw the money. I gave the task to Claude and Perplexity Comet. Claude worked through the rules and found the withdrawal route that kept my tax bill lowest. Comet then verified and implemented that route. It ran the portal in my browser, filled in and submitted the claim forms, and let me watch the screen and check each detail before submission. Two weeks later, the $2K arrived. After that, Claude compared the amount I received with the scheme’s online statement and found a gap: interest that had not been paid out. It filed a second form for the difference, and I’m waiting for the payment now. I’ll use the same technique to solve this for my wife too. Step-by-step: 1. I gave Claude the details of the contributions stuck in the government scheme and asked it to work through the withdrawal rules. 2. Claude identified the withdrawal route that kept my tax bill lowest. 3. I had Perplexity Comet verify and implement that route in the scheme’s browser portal. 4. Comet filled in and submitted the claim forms while I watched the screen and checked each detail before submission. 5. Two weeks later, I confirmed that the $2K had arrived. 6. I asked Claude to compare the payment with the scheme’s online statement. 7. After Claude identified unpaid interest, Comet filed a second form for the difference. I’m waiting for that payment now.
