AP agent in action

The AP Agent handles accounts payable from end to end — automatically ingesting invoices, validating them against purchase orders or contracts, assigning GL codes, and routing them through approval workflows based on your internal policies. Once approved, it initiates payment via your connected bank accounts and completes reconciliation without manual intervention.

Agents That Follow Process, Not Just Instructions

RedOwl’s AP Agent doesn’t just complete tasks — it adheres to structured financial processes. It ensures every payable follows your defined path from initiation to reconciliation, with built-in logic for sequencing, validation, and escalation.

Human Oversight, Without Human Bottlenecks

The agent enables finance teams to maintain visibility and control without micromanaging every transaction. Reviewers are looped in only when necessary, while routine steps are handled autonomously — with full transparency.

Designed for Audit, Not Just Efficiency

Rather than treating audit as an afterthought, the AP Agent builds traceability into every action. It maintains evidentiary records that support both external audits and internal process reviews — without additional prep.

Works With The Stack You Already Use

The AP Agent plugs into your general ledger, bank, and procurement tools — no ERP overhaul required. It syncs data across systems while keeping your source of truth intact and up to date.

Consistency At Scale

Whether you’re processing 50 invoices or 5,000, the AP Agent applies rules uniformly. This reduces discrepancies, speeds up approval cycles, and ensures process reliability as your business grows.
