Innovative Automation with AI Agents
A Paris-based company has recently launched an automation agent called Invoice Operator in collaboration with fintech startup Konto, aiming to streamline the invoice management process. Unlike traditional automation methods such as API-based tools or robotic process automation (RPA), this AI-driven tool simplifies the retrieval of invoices by automatically logging into services, downloading necessary documents, and attaching them to users' accounts. This efficiency is particularly crucial for Konto, which processes millions of invoices monthly, therefore saving users significant time and effort spent on manual retrieval. The CEO of Twin emphasizes that while conventional methods require extensive customization for each website, their solution rapidly supports thousands of applications within just months of development.
