Our flagship Accounts Payable (AP) automation solution, powered by an AI AP Executive, Neil, is part of a broader goal, to streamline enterprise processes with zero manual intervention and industry-leading accuracy, across functions, industries, and geographies.

OUR VISION

Making enterprises intelligent, one AI co-worker at a time, while elevating humans towards higher value contribution to society at large.

OUR MISSION

To power enterprises worldwide with AI co-workers performing various roles alongside humans.

Why We Built Neil

Accounts Payable has long been stuck in the shadows — manual, messy, and undervalued. Even in digitally mature enterprises, 60–80% of invoices are still processed manually. That’s not just inefficient — it’s costly, slow, and full of risk.

We built Neil to change that.

Neil is not just software. Neil is an AI-powered Accounts Payable Executive, built using a multi-agentic architecture — a collaborative network of specialized AI agents, each designed to handle a distinct part of the AP process with speed, accuracy, and intelligence.

This architecture gives Neil a unique edge:

  • Scalability across thousands of transactions
  • Parallel processing for faster cycle times
  • Built-in fault tolerance and smarter exception handling
  • Adaptability to complex enterprise systems and workflows


Neil understands invoices in any format, ensures regulatory compliance, and integrates seamlessly with your ERP — all while continuously learning and improving.

Importantly, Neil doesn’t replace finance professionals — Neil empowers them. By automating high-volume, repetitive tasks, Neil frees up AP teams to focus on what truly matters: managing exceptions, optimizing cash flow, and strengthening vendor relationships.

With Neil, automation isn’t just a tool — it’s a thinking, collaborative system built to elevate the entire AP function.

Less busywork. More impact.
