Software that owns a loop of procurement work, not a chat window
An AI Buyer is not a place to ask questions. It watches a category, decides what needs doing, does the assembly work, and brings you the decision that actually needs a person. You set where it stops.

Nothing has been sent. The agent holds here until you approve, and it flagged 2 of the 6 it found rather than quietly dropping them.

The three agents
Each one owns a category of work end to end
Sourcing Agent
Takes a requisition or a BOM and runs the sourcing loop. It matches every line to suppliers qualified to make it, drafts the RFQ from your template, sends it, chases the people who go quiet, and returns one comparison with currency, unit of measure, and incoterms reconciled. On a several hundred line package it is the difference between three weeks and an afternoon.
Watches your whole supply base rather than a list somebody remembers to refresh. It joins your ERP and quality records to regulatory actions, customs filings, financial disclosures, and ownership changes, scores what it finds, and routes the ones that matter to the category owner with the source attached.
Runs its own GRI analysis rather than confirming the heading you proposed. It cites the rule and the source text it applied, scores its own confidence, models duty at the applicable rate including Section 232 scope, and files the reasoning against the part so the answer survives an audit.
That run above is one requisition passing through the loop below. The numbered steps are the agent. The two highlighted blocks are where it stops and waits for you, every time, until you decide otherwise.
01
Requisition lands
A req or BOM arrives from ERP. The agent parses every line item and normalizes part numbers.
02
Suppliers matched
Each line is matched to qualified suppliers on capability, qualification status, lead time, and past performance.
Approval gate
Buyer reviews the supplier list
Nothing leaves Infis yet. You add, remove, and re-rank before a single message is sent.
03
RFQ drafted and sent
The agent writes the RFQ from your template, splits it by supplier scope, and sends on your behalf.
04
Non-responders chased
Follow ups go out on your cadence. The agent tracks who has opened, replied, and gone quiet.
05
Quotes normalized
Returned quotes land in one comparison, unit of measure and currency reconciled, incoterms made like for like.
06
Exceptions flagged
Price outliers, single source lines, expired qualifications, and anything the agent scored low confidence.
Approval gate
Buyer makes the award
The award decision is yours. The agent has done the assembly, not the judgement.
Control and trust
You decide how much rope, and you can see every inch of it
Configurable autonomy
Every agent runs at one of three settings: notify, draft, or execute. Most teams start every category at draft and approve. Gates loosen per agent and per category as the output earns it, and they tighten again with one switch.
Full audit trail
Every run keeps its trigger, the records it read, the reasoning it produced, what it sent, and who approved it. The log is exportable and every action taken inside Infis is reversible.
Confidence scoring
Each output carries a confidence score. Anything below your threshold skips the automatic path and lands in an escalation queue for a human, rather than being sent and corrected later.
What this replaces
Named honestly, so you can check it against your own week
This is assembly work coming off the desk. The decisions stay where they are.
Today
Three weeks of RFQ admin
Splitting a 340 line package across the team, mailing suppliers individually, chasing non responders, then rebuilding every quote into a comparable sheet by hand.
With an AI Buyer
An afternoon, plus two decisions
The buyer reviews the supplier list before anything is sent, and makes the award at the end. The assembly in between is the agent.
Today
An annual supplier scorecard
A refresh once a year that describes a supply base which has already moved, built from whatever data somebody could pull that quarter.
With an AI Buyer
A score that moves when the world does
A Form 483 published on Tuesday is scored and routed on Tuesday, with the filing linked.
Today
Half a day per classification
Reading the schedule, working the GRIs, hunting for a ruling that looks close, then writing the rationale up so it survives a review.
With an AI Buyer
A cited answer in minutes
The rule, the source text, and the confidence score come with it. You are reviewing an argument, not building one.
Questions we get asked
The objections, answered plainly
Two things catch it. Every output carries a confidence score, and anything under your threshold is routed to a human queue rather than acted on. Beyond that, the actions that touch the outside world all sit behind approval gates, so a wrong answer is a wrong draft rather than a sent RFQ. Actions taken inside Infis are reversible, and the audit log shows what the agent read and why it concluded what it did, so you can correct the input rather than guess.
Not unless you turn that on for a specific agent and category. Out of the box every outbound message, RFQ, follow up, and supplier question is drafted inside Infis and waits for a named human to approve it. Teams that later move follow up chasers to automatic usually keep first contact and award decisions gated.
Not yours. Your supplier, material, and spend data is used to run your instance and is never used to train shared models. Data is isolated per tenant. The security page has the full statement, including retention on prompts and model outputs.
Yes. Set every agent to notify and Infis becomes a monitoring and analysis system: it scores, watches, and tells you what it would do, and does none of it. Plenty of teams run the first quarter that way on purpose, then open gates where the agent has been right often enough to earn them.
No, and the teams that get the most out of it are the ones with experienced buyers. The agent does assembly work: matching, drafting, chasing, normalizing, checking. Judgement stays with the buyer, which is why the approval gates are where they are. What changes is how many categories one buyer can actually cover.
Supplier Monitor produces scored output as soon as the first connector is reading, typically inside two weeks. Sourcing Agent needs your RFQ templates and one qualified supplier list to work from, so it usually runs its first real loop in week three or four.
Run one loop against your own categories
Bring an open RFQ or a supplier list. We will run it through Infis with every gate closed, and you can see what the agent would have drafted before anything is sent.
