OVERVIEW

What it does

Collects documents, verifies details and creates vendor records — so new suppliers are ready in days, not weeks.

Teams typically go live in 10 days. They start in shadow mode, where Vendor Intake proposes every action for review, then switch on autonomy for the decisions it handles reliably.

How it decides

The agent works from your written policies and live data from your tools. When a case falls outside policy, or its confidence drops below your threshold, it escalates to a person with a summary of the research so far.

Guardrails

  • Scoped tool permissions enforced by the runtime

  • Approval gates for high-value or irreversible actions

  • A full run trace for every decision

  • An eval suite built from your own historical cases
