The Procurement AI Lab: How AI Agents Manage Intake Without Manual Work
Most procurement teams are already experimenting with AI, using ChatGPT for quick summaries or Copilot within their Microsoft tools.
Yet intake requests still pile up, approvals remain slow, and procurement teams are still stuck manually triaging requests.
The reason is simple: copilots can assist with tasks, but they don’t execute processes. There’s a big difference between software that answers questions and an AI agent that completes work.
In this session, you’ll see a live demo of the Mercanis Intake Agent, showing how AI can capture stakeholder requests, structure the information, and route them through the intake process automatically.

The Mercanis Intake Agent: Live Demo
Where does your procurement team actually lose time during intake
Usually not in the strategic decisions, but in the operational work before a request even reaches the right person; classification, routing, chasing missing information, follow-ups.
An AI agent can handle all of these steps automatically.
In this session, Fabian will walk through a live demo of the Mercanis Intake Agent, showing how it processes unstructured purchase requests, routes them to the right place and moves them forward without manual intervention.
What we’ll cover
• The current state of AI in procurement
• Why tools like ChatGPT and Copilot alone aren’t solving the problem (copilots vs. agents)
• Where procurement teams lose the most time during intake
• Live demo: The Mercanis Intake Agent in action
