Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
A DeskFerry agent watches for the triggers specific to plumbing Invoice Processing, pulls the context it needs from your CRM, inbox, calendar and operational systems, and completes each step with the same rules an experienced operator would apply. AI reads invoices in any format, extracting line items, totals, and vendor details in seconds. Teams typically see minutes from receipt to GL post once the agent is in production. The agent runs on a configurable confidence threshold, escalates edge cases to a human, and writes every action to an audit log you can review at any time.
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.
