Questions
Can an AI agent do accounts payable work on its own?
Not on its own, and not by design. Agents extract invoice details; match invoices to purchase orders; prepare entries and payment batches. An Ergon operator reviews what the agents are unsure of. Your people approve every payment and decide differences outside policy and own vendor disputes.
What would a first agent do?
Match sample invoices to a purchase order export and list differences. The Agent Role Diagnostic ($750) codes an agent on a task like this in one hour, delivers the code, and adds a one-page Role Card and a consultation.
Which systems does it work with?
Typically: Accounting system, AP inbox, purchase orders. The agent gets only the access it needs, and the permissions are written down before it starts.
