Getting started

How Procurement teams get started.

  1. Pick one workflow

    Start with a real procurement workflow that repeats every week.

  2. Connect your tools

    Agents work inside DocuSign, Google Drive, Gmail, Slack and Microsoft Teams.

  3. Set the rules

    Choose what the agent may do alone and what waits for a person.

  4. Start with review

    A person checks the work at first. Give the agent more room as it earns trust.

  5. Expand what works

    Add the next workflow, or bring the same setup to another team.

Every feature runs inside the same six controls.

Identity, access, approvals, supervision, audit and policy apply to every agent and every run, whichever part of the workspace it happens in.

FAQ

AI agents for Procurement: questions and answers

Short answers to what procurement teams ask before they start.

Contact us directly
Can we try this before setting it up?

Yes. The product tour includes a procurement workflow with sample data, and no sign up is needed.

Who approves vendor outreach?

The approvers you name, usually finance and legal. Outreach stays blocked until they approve.

What always stays with a person?

Supplier commitments, contract terms and any message sent to a vendor. You can add more rules at any time.

Which tools does it work with?

Common tools for procurement teams include DocuSign, Google Drive, Gmail, Slack and Microsoft Teams. Ask us about the tools your team uses.

Do we need engineers to set this up?

No. During early access we configure and deploy your first workflows directly with your team.

The multiplayer workspace for humans and AI agents is how teams move beyond prompting and safely hand AI real work. It gives people one place to plan, approve, and oversee execution, so they can run work with AI agents they can govern and trust.
