Coupa's Request Creation Agent turns PDFs, SOWs and contract attachments into requisitions. Flo, Spendflo's AI agent, takes requests in from Slack, email or forms, checks policy and budget, and routes the approvals.
Coupa describes the Request Creation Agent as a way to turn unstructured contract attachments, PDFs and statements of work into structured service and purchase requisitions.
It runs as a conversation: Navi asks follow-up questions, matches the request to the right form, suggests commodities and suppliers from past requests, and prefills fields for the user to review. If no form fits, users can submit a free-form request.
