How This AI Agent Works
The published process for this agent: what triggers it, what it validates, which approved tools it calls, where a human approves and what it delivers.
Sourcing and quotation workflow
From a purchase request to an approved supplier recommendation.
Saved with the run so the recorded execution trail shows what was asked. Demonstration runs use sample data. They do not touch your systems.
Public visitors can preview the structure and inspect every node. Labelled demonstrations and live runs require a signed-in account with configured providers.
