Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of input formats can the agent process for vendor notes?

The agent can ingest and process various input formats, including meeting transcripts, email correspondence, CRM entries, project management tool comments (e.g., Jira, Asana), and even scanned handwritten notes (with OCR). Its NLP capabilities extract key information regardless of the source's structure.

Can the agent proactively alert me about overdue commitments or emerging risks?

Yes, once configured, the agent can actively monitor extracted commitments and deadlines. If a commitment date passes without a resolution or if a pattern indicative of a risk (e.g., repeated service issues, delayed responses) is detected, it can send proactive alerts to relevant stakeholders.
