Post to @Slack #finance
Teams typically see dramatically faster document processing once the agent is in production.
- 05
You approve
Setup is no-code, every action is auditable, and the agent is scoped to the rules your finance team defines — not a generic template applied to your business.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.
