Agentic AI platform for the office of the CFO that runs accounts payable end to end with real time governance, policy enforcement, and full audit trails.

RedOwl is an agentic AI platform for the Office of the CFO that delivers real time governance over accounts payable and finance operations. Its AI agents run and manage AP workflows end to end: they ingest invoices by email, upload, or integration, extract and validate fields against purchase orders, contracts, and goods receipts, assign GL and tax codes with explainable reasoning, route approvals by the customer's policies and delegation of authority, schedule payments through connected banks, and reconcile, all while maintaining a complete timestamped audit trail. Rather than one monolith, RedOwl orchestrates a set of specialized collaborating agents, a mail room clerk that classifies inbound email intent, a traffic controller that routes work, a quality control officer, an assistant accountant that learns from overrides, and a tax compliance specialist, combining large language models, retrieval augmented generation, and structured enterprise data. Human in the loop control with confidence scoring and explainable decisions keeps sensitive items under review, so finance teams get machine speed with human grade judgment and continuous audit ready status.
