A short demo: the agent runs a real process inside d8n — from request to result.
An invoice is keyed in by hand, matched against the order and receipt, routed for approval and waited on, exceptions handled (22% of invoices on average), then approved and paid. The average cycle is 17.4 days and processing costs about $9.40 per invoice.
The Finance agent captures the invoice data (OCR) and runs the 2/3-way match against the order and receipt itself; nearly half of invoices clear straight-through with no human touch, and exceptions drop to 9% from 22%. A person approves on a maker-checker basis.
Agent data sources: ERP / accounting system, OCR/IDP, supplier master data, purchase order (PO), goods-receipt data, bank statement / payment module, the e-invoicing system (ESF), approval workflow.

The financial document moves through specialised agents: capture, control, approval and reporting. Most checks run in parallel.
The invoice arrives by email, is uploaded or comes from the e-invoicing system. The Finance agent reads the document (OCR/IDP), extracts the supplier, amount, VAT, number and date, matches the supplier against master data and registers the invoice. Manual keying is eliminated.
The Finance agent runs the 2/3-way match against the order and receipt; at the same time Legal checks the underlying contract and terms, and the Budget agent verifies the line-item limit. Matched invoices clear with no human touch; only exceptions go for review.
The payment request is routed by amount to the right approver on a maker-checker basis; after a person confirms, the agent prepares the payment order and passes it to the banking module. Every action is fully audited.
The agent compiles reports on payments, exceptions, accounts payable and budget execution — shows them in chat on request ("how much we paid suppliers this week") or sends them to the CFO automatically on a schedule.
A financial document enters the process.
The agent checks documents, amounts and thresholds.
A person approves; nothing irreversible happens alone.
Records reconcile and feed reporting.
