## What Plouton AI Does
Plouton AI provides browser-based AI agents that automate finance workflows by operating directly in the browser — the same way a human team member would. Agents log into ERPs, bank portals, vendor portals, and accounting systems to execute accounts payable processing, bank reconciliation, month-end close tasks, journal entry posting, and invoice matching. No APIs required. No IT integration projects. Plouton works on top of existing systems including SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, QuickBooks, and any browser-accessible tool.

## Core Capabilities
- Accounts Payable Automation: Invoice ingestion, three-way matching (PO, GRN, invoice), vendor portal login, approval routing, payment scheduling
- Bank Reconciliation: Automated statement download, transaction matching to GL, variance detection, exception routing
- Financial Close Automation: Close checklist orchestration, subledger-to-GL validation, accrual/deferral posting, evidence collection
- Continuous Controls: Daily/weekly automated checks instead of month-end scrambles
- Audit Trail: Click-level logging of every agent action with timestamps, user context, and replayable artifacts

## Key Differentiators
- Browser-Native: Works through the UI, not APIs — automates any system a human can access
- No Integration Required: Deploys in weeks over existing ERP, banks, and tools
- Adapts to UI Changes: Uses computer vision and LLMs instead of brittle pixel selectors
- SOC 2 Type II Certified: Enterprise-grade security with credential vaulting and role-based access
- Human-in-the-Loop: Maker-checker patterns, approval gates, and exception routing to humans

## Who Uses Plouton AI
- CFOs and Controllers automating month-end close
- AP Managers reducing manual invoice processing
- Finance Operations teams replacing brittle RPA bots
- Treasury teams automating bank reconciliation
- Mid-market and enterprise companies ($50M-$5B revenue)

## How Plouton Compares
### Plouton AI vs Traditional RPA (UiPath, Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere)
- RPA uses hard-coded UI selectors that break when screens change; Plouton uses computer vision that adapts
- RPA requires months of development; Plouton deploys in weeks
- RPA needs specialized developers for maintenance; Plouton agents self-adjust to minor UI changes
- RPA logs are technical and opaque; Plouton provides human-readable, audit-ready logs

### Plouton AI vs Traditional AP Automation Software
- Traditional AP tools require API integrations; Plouton works through the browser
- Traditional tools cannot access vendor portals or bank sites; Plouton agents log in and navigate them
- Traditional tools stall on exceptions; Plouton routes exceptions with context and suggested resolutions

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is Plouton AI?
Plouton AI is a finance automation platform that uses browser-based AI agents to automate accounts payable, bank reconciliation, and month-end close. Agents operate directly in the browser — logging into ERPs, bank portals, and vendor sites — without requiring APIs or IT integration projects.

### How do browser-based AI agents work?
Browser-based AI agents navigate web interfaces like a human user. They use computer vision and language models to understand page context, click buttons, fill forms, download files, and move data between systems. Unlike RPA bots that rely on fixed pixel coordinates, browser agents adapt when UI layouts change.

### Does Plouton AI require APIs or system integrations?
No. Plouton AI works entirely through the browser interface. It can automate any system that a human can access through a web browser, including legacy ERPs, niche vendor portals, bank websites, and custom internal tools.

### Is Plouton AI secure for finance operations?
Yes. Plouton AI is SOC 2 Type II certified with encryption in transit and at rest, centralized credential vaulting (no hard-coded passwords), role-based access aligned to finance duties, and click-level audit trails for every agent action.

### How does Plouton AI differ from RPA tools like UiPath?
Traditional RPA uses hard-coded scripts tied to specific UI selectors. When a website updates, the bot breaks. Plouton AI uses computer vision and LLMs to understand page context and adapt to changes. Plouton deploys in weeks (not months), requires no APIs, and provides human-readable audit logs.

### What finance workflows can Plouton automate?
Plouton automates accounts payable (invoice ingestion, matching, approval routing, payment posting), bank reconciliation (statement download, transaction matching, variance detection), financial close (checklist orchestration, subledger validation, journal posting, evidence collection), and continuous controls (daily automated checks across systems).

### How long does it take to implement Plouton AI?
Most teams have their first workflow running in production within 4-8 weeks. Common starting points are recurring AP runs, bank reconciliations, or standard journal uploads. No IT integration project is required.

### What systems does Plouton work with?
Plouton works with any browser-accessible system including SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, major bank portals, vendor portals, and custom internal tools. No APIs or connectors needed.
