AI Models, Assistants & Agents
Our platform is built on three synergistic components—AI Models, AI Assistants, and AI Agents—each addressing a distinct layer of the procurement lifecycle:
Component | What It Is | Key Examples |
AI Model | A mathematical algorithm trained on historical and external data to recognize patterns, make predictions, or classify information. | • Demand‑forecasting LSTM• Price‑prediction regression |
AI Assistant | A conversational or task‑oriented interface that understands your queries and provides guided support, recommendations, or information. | • RFQ chatbots• Virtual procurement advisor |
AI Agent | An autonomous software entity that perceives its environment, makes decisions, and takes actions on behalf of users—often operating continuously. | • Compliance‑monitoring agent• Automated negotiation agent |
How They Work Together
- AI Models power the core analytics—forecasting demand, projecting “should‑be” costs, and detecting anomalies in real time.
- AI Assistants serve as intuitive interfaces, guiding users through complex tasks such as generating RFQs, evaluating supplier proposals, and drafting contracts via natural‑language interaction.
- AI Agents run silently in the background, enforcing compliance rules, triggering alerts for price deviations, and even initiating preliminary negotiations based on predefined strategies.
Key Features & Customization
- Demand & Spend Forecasting
• Train time‑series and regression models on your historical procurement, sales, and inventory data.
• Ingest macroeconomic signals—commodity indices, currency rates, geopolitical indicators—for more accurate predictions.
• Customize forecasting horizons (weekly, monthly, quarterly) to match your planning cycles. - Should‑Be Cost Modeling
• Use AI to calculate “fair price” baselines for raw materials, guiding negotiations.
• Continuously recalibrate models with new market data to maintain precision.
• Visualize cost ranges and savings opportunities in interactive dashboards. - Virtual Procurement Assistants
• Deploy chatbots that handle supplier inquiries, RFQ status checks, and contract queries 24/7.
• Customize dialog flows and response libraries to reflect your company’s policies and tone.
• Integrate with email, Slack, or Microsoft Teams for seamless user experience. - Autonomous Compliance & Negotiation Agents
• Monitor regulatory updates and internal policy changes in real time, flagging non‑compliant actions.
• Analyze past negotiation outcomes and suggest optimal bargaining tactics.
• Auto‑generate briefing documents for consultants before client meetings, summarizing key risks and strategies.
