Demo

AI agent that drafts. You approve.

An AI agent reads order emails and PDFs, checks stock and drafts the order, a low stock flag and a reply. Nothing is saved until a person clicks Approve. Every tool call is logged.

The business and all its data are made up. The run in the video is real.

42-second recording, no sound

In the video

The PDF asks for 12 caramel syrup and only 9 are in stock. The agent leaves it off and flags it. I approve the order and the flag (orders 18 to 19, cups 30 to 25) and reject the reply.

What I checked

All 12 emails: drafts as expected on 12 of 12.
The agent changed nothing in the database. Its connection is read-only.
Reject saved nothing. Approve took exactly the ordered amounts off stock.
