    Finance & procurement

    A purchase request that is ready for review when it arrives.

    Vendor, amount, cost center, justification and the quote arrive together. A reviewer owns the decision, an approver confirms by email, and every AI output waits for a person.

    The situation

    Most delays are missing evidence, not hard decisions.

    The quote is in someone’s inbox, the cost center is a guess and the approver is on a different thread. A finance review request collects what the reviewer needs up front and keeps the decision with it.

    How it works

    From the first message to a recorded outcome.

    1. 01

      Collect the evidence

      The starter Finance Review asks for the request type, amount, vendor or payee, cost center and business justification — with the quote attached.

    2. 02

      A reviewer owns it

      The analysis is guided to look for the amount, counterparty, supporting documents, approval owner and missing evidence.

    3. 03

      The approver decides

      Send an approval request to the budget owner. They confirm with a six-digit code; the decision and note are recorded.

    4. 04

      Follow through, visibly

      Reply to the submitter and complete the request. Save the procedure as policy guidance for the next one.

    What it won’t do

    • Assist Engine does not approve spending, move money or execute payments.
    • It does not replace your accounting system or financial controls; configure reviewers and access to match your policy.
    • In finance workspaces AI replies are always drafts, and human review of AI output is the default.
