Glossary

An intelligent agent is a self-directed system capable of understanding information, making decisions, and taking action to achieve specific goals, all while adapting to context and feedback. Unlike traditional automation scripts, which execute fixed rules, an intelligent agent processes structured and unstructured data to make reasoned, auditable decisions.

In finance and administration, intelligent agents enable a new era of adaptive automation. They can extract invoice data, identify anomalies in supplier billing, or reconcile transactions, all while learning from human validation to improve over time. This combination of autonomy and control defines the foundation of Phacet’s AI agents, designed to bring reliability and transparency to every workflow.

‍

Each intelligent agent in Phacet operates within a supervised, compliant framework, every result can be traced back to its source, ensuring trust and explainability. Whether it’s a supplier control workflow or bank reconciliation, these agents act as digital colleagues that assist finance teams in processing large volumes of data quickly and accurately.

Intelligent agents don’t replace people, they amplify them. By handling repetitive, logic-based tasks, they free financial teams to focus on insight, negotiation, and decision-making. This is the essence of augmented finance: a seamless collaboration between human judgment and machine precision.
