Question 1

What is intelligent finance?

Accepted Answer

Intelligent finance is the next evolution of finance beyond automation, where AI doesn't just speed up existing processes but fundamentally reimagines how finance operates and eliminates inefficiency and friction with AI agents. It's a system that anticipates needs, acts autonomously, and maintains control without manual intervention. Unlike traditional automation that simply executes pre-programmed rules faster, intelligent finance involves agents that learn from every transaction, adapt to patterns, and can make decisions based on guidelines and oversight from humans.

Question 2

How is intelligent finance different from automation?

Accepted Answer

While automation speeds up manual processes, intelligent finance eliminates them entirely through agents. Automation might scan a receipt faster, but with intelligent finance, an agent takes it from there — writing the memo, adding attendees, and correctly categorizing the expense. Agents can review expenses against your policy and follow up with employees on exceptions and corrections, solving issues without ever bothering the finance team. Automation follows simple if this, then that rules; intelligent finance involves agents that learn patterns and adapt.

Question 3

How does AI enable intelligent finance?

Accepted Answer

AI powers intelligent finance and agents through multiple technologies working in concert. Machine learning models analyze spending patterns to detect anomalies and predict future needs. Natural language processing extracts information from documents and enables conversational interactions with financial data. Predictive analytics forecast cash flow and identify optimization opportunities. Together, these AI capabilities create a system that truly understands and manages finances autonomously.

Question 4

Does intelligent finance mean finance teams lose control?

Accepted Answer

Actually, the opposite. Intelligent finance provides more control than ever before through complete transparency and consistent policy enforcement. Every transaction is tracked, every decision is auditable, and every policy is enforced automatically. Finance teams gain time to focus on strategic oversight rather than tactical execution, maintaining human-in-the-loop control for important decisions while AI agents handle routine tasks.

Question 5

How does Brex ensure compliance with intelligent finance?

Accepted Answer

Brex embeds compliance into every transaction automatically. Policies are enforced in real-time at the point of purchase, not weeks later during expense review. AI agents continuously monitor for violations, flag suspicious activity, and maintain complete audit trails. The result is 98% compliance rates without manual enforcement, giving finance teams confidence that rules are followed consistently across the entire organization.

Question 6

Is intelligent finance secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Brex maintains strict security protocols with data encryption, secure APIs, and comprehensive audit trails. Your financial data is never used to train third-party AI models, and you maintain complete control over how AI interacts with your information. Every automated action is transparent and reversible, ensuring security without sacrificing the benefits of intelligence.

Question 7

What size company benefits from intelligent finance?

Accepted Answer

Every size. Startups gain enterprise-grade financial controls without hiring large finance teams. Mid-size companies scale operations without proportionally scaling headcount. Enterprises standardize processes across thousands of employees while maintaining local flexibility. The beauty of intelligent finance is that it scales infinitely — working equally well for 10 or 10,000 employees.

Question 8

What are AI agents?

Accepted Answer

An artificial intelligence (AI) agent is a system that autonomously performs tasks. AI agents can encompass a wide range of functions, including natural language processing, decision-making, problem-solving, interacting with other tools and systems, and performing actions. With Brex, your AI agents are trained on your policy and SOPs. You can give them any documents you want for training, and you can review their actions and provide them feedback. They will learn quickly to perform favorable actions and not repeat actions you ask them not to.

Question 9

What are the main uses of AI agents in finance?

Accepted Answer

AI agents can help with nearly all finance operations, and AI agents on Brex focus on managing expenses, ensuring compliance, auditing spend, resolving exceptions, and escalating risk for human review. Brex’s AI agents monitor transactions in real time for anomalies and suspicious patterns and can automatically flag issues or take action to prevent loss. Agents can also handle back-office tasks such as invoice processing, expense matching, journal entry preparation, and month-end reconciliations, reducing cycle times and human error.
