Automated Procurement Copilot is an AI-driven solution designed to streamline and automate corporate purchasing. It manages end-to-end procurement by coordinating three intelligent agents that handle data collection, vendor evaluation, and final approval. Users submit purchase details such as item, quantity, department, currency, and budget. The system then identifies suitable vendors from a knowledge base, compares pricing, ratings, and delivery times, and recommends the best option. Once a vendor is selected, the system automatically generates a purchase order while ensuring compliance with company budgets and policies, reducing manual effort and providing a reliable audit trail. Agent Workflows 1. Request Intake Agent Collects and validates purchase details from the user, ensuring all required information is provided. Once validated, it passes the structured request to the Vendor Discovery & Recommendation Agent. 2. Vendor Discovery & Recommendation Agent Analyzes the request using the vendor dataset, filters matching vendors, calculates total cost, and recommends the best vendor—typically the highest rated. It then sends a structured result containing vendor comparisons to the Approval Workflow Agent. 3. Approval Workflow Agent Presents the summarized purchase request and vendor options to the user, highlights the recommended vendor, and asks for the selection. After confirmation, it generates a complete purchase order with all relevant details and logs actions for auditing and compliance.
