Give your agent a task from the AgentX dashboard, watch it run on Live, read the answer on the Hub, find the run in Activity and deal with what Monitor says needs you. Every step, screen and output in this guide was run on AgentX 0.206.0.
Saudi Labour Violation Fines 2026: Schedule and 80% Cut

From 18 November 2026 (8 Jumada II 1448), private men's and women's sports centres and gyms in Saudi Arabia with four or more workers in 12 targeted coaching and supervision roles must fill 15% of those roles with Saudis, under a decision by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development and the Ministry of Sport.
Gym Saudization in TypeScript: the 15% per-outlet engine

Saudi VAT Registration Threshold Monitor in TypeScript
Build the month-end check the VAT Implementing Regulations require of every unregistered business: the trailing twelve-month test of Article 3, the forward estimate of Article 4, every CR added together, capital assets left out, the 30-day deadline and effective dates, Article 9(1) for zero-rated sellers, and the Article 13 deregistration rules as amended in 2024. Tested, in TypeScript.
Saudi Housing Allowance: Article 61 and Your Wage Bases
Article 61 made housing mandatory after the M/44 amendments, with no set percentage. It counts in full in gratuity, leave and GOSI, only halfway in overtime.
Saudi Supplier VAT Number Gate in TypeScript for Payables
Build the check that belongs inside accounts payable, not in a quarterly spreadsheet: ZATCA's BR-KSA-40 format rule at supplier onboarding, a dated registration lookup before each return, the QR code on every received invoice decoded and reconciled, and an input VAT gate that holds a doubtful invoice instead of losing it, because Article 49(8) leaves five years to deduct it.
