A DeskFerry agent connects to the systems your procurement stack already runs on, watches for Meeting Notes & Summaries triggers, and executes the next step automatically — drafting, routing, updating records, and following up without manual handoffs. AI captures every word from meetings and generates searchable transcripts instantly. Teams typically see within minutes of the meeting ending once the agent is in production. Setup is no-code, the agent operates inside the rules you define for your procurement team, and every decision is logged so leadership can review what was automated and what was escalated.
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.
