Agents are set up to follow an organization's standard operating procedures, with consent steps where a person must approve.

Task hub with confidence scores

The product demo shows a task list with status per task and a confidence figure on each step, such as vendor validation and three-way matching.

Triggers and embedding

Agents can be started in several ways, such as when work arrives, and can be embedded elsewhere.

Integrations by category
