AI Financial Agent: Chat with Your Financial Data

The newly launched AI Financial Agent integrated into the platform transforms the way finance professionals engage with their data. Leveraging the secure and robust capabilities of Microsoft Azure OpenAI, this intelligent assistant allows users to interact directly with their financial data through natural language conversations. The AI Financial Agent offers clients a level of flexibility and insight that simplifies complex data analysis and drives smarter, faster decision-making. For example, a finance professional can now simply query the agent to ask what cash savings could be realized in a given period had the client undertaken certain Travel and Expense ("T&E") policies, this action can be replicated for a number of potential T&E policy options, allowing executives to craft more effective policies, which would maximize cash savings, but minimize business disruptions.

"The addition of our AI Financial Agent brings NowHub-Finance to a new level of utility and intelligence for finance teams, enhancing the solution's value to our clients and becoming an indispensable part of their decision-making processes," said Mostafa Hashem, EVP of Product and Technology. "By integrating conversational AI with financial analytics, we're enabling finance teams to unlock the full potential of their data, allowing them to transform their financial data into business value, fast with AI."
