Coupa's Sourcing Optimization Event Creation Agent sets up large sourcing events from a conversation. Flo, Spendflo's AI agent, takes the request in, checks policy and duplicates, and lands it in Coupa.
Coupa describes this agent as a guided way to create Coupa Sourcing Optimization (CSO) events, including complex events with thousands of items.
Users describe the event in natural language. Navi asks follow-up questions about structure, timing and classification, suggests best-practice values, builds the event in a ready-to-configure state and summarizes it for confirmation. It then helps with timelines, suppliers and parameters, and flags potential issues.
