# Agentic AP in Glimps

Agentic accounts payable means the software handles a purchase invoice itself instead of only preparing it. The agent picks the next step, runs it against the bookkeeping, and records why. A human sets the limits up front and reads along afterwards.

Glimps has three agentic surfaces: Luca inside the product, the Inbox Agent in the Microsoft 365 mailbox, and a read-only MCP server for your own AI client. They work on the same administration and write to the same log.

## The trust ladder, per supplier

- L0 manual: read, store, and recalculate, nothing more.
- L1 (the default for every new supplier): also link the supplier and work out the approvers.
- L2: also code the lines (GL account, VAT, cost center, project).
- L3 and L4: also post to Exact Online as soon as every check passes. This is one setting on screen, with no waiting period.

Moving up happens only through a proposal a human accepts. Glimps never raises a level itself. Moving down happens on its own: one correction on an invoice from a supplier that was posting automatically drops that supplier back.

## Promotion conditions

Glimps looks back six months per supplier. The bar is at least three clean invoices, and for a high-volume supplier roughly one month of its own volume. A proposal expires after 45 days; a dismissed proposal stays away for 30 days.

## Three roads to automatic posting

1. Earned trust: a clean track record for that supplier.
2. Fully matched purchase order within tolerance: the spend was already approved at the order.
3. Covered by an approved contract: a human signed that agreement in advance.

Manual processing, per invoice or per administration, overrides all three roads.

## Eight checks that are independent of the level

Full stop (back to level zero): possible duplicate invoice, duplicate check unavailable, bank account changed, math check failed.

Ceiling (invoice is prepared instead of posted): amount above the ceiling, supplier silent for twelve months, credit note, currency differs from history.

A changed bank account and a failed math check block the posting, not the preparation.

## What Glimps does not do

- Pay. No agent can move money or create a payment file.
- Raise a level by itself.
- Post while a check is open.
- Email suppliers without the user taking that step.
- Hand customer data to a model vendor to train their general models, or learn across customers. Corrections and learned behaviour stay inside that customer own account.

New supplier: prepare. You look and press post

## From mailbox to answer

Each does one thing well. Together they take the manual work out of your payables.

### Picks invoices out of your mailbox

Connect your Microsoft 365 mailbox and every invoice that arrives shows up in Glimps by itself. Including the reminder and the forwarded mail.

### Processes them, and listens to you

Luca reads, codes, and prepares. You can also just ask it something or give it a task, right inside Glimps.

### Answers questions in your own AI

Connect your own AI assistant and ask it about your invoices. It can only read.

## Per supplier you choose how far Glimps goes

A new supplier is prepared and waits for you. A supplier you trust, Glimps posts by itself.

### Manual

Glimps reads the invoice and checks the sums. You do the rest.

### Prepare

Supplier linked, lines coded, approvers prepared. You look and press post. Every supplier starts here.

### Post automatically

Glimps posts to Exact Online by itself as soon as every check passes.

## When Glimps posts by itself

Only in these three cases, and only if you switched it on.

### A supplier that has proven itself

After enough invoices without a correction, Glimps proposes to let that supplier post automatically. You say yes or no. If you correct something later, it goes back to prepare by itself.

### An invoice that matches the order exactly

The spend was already approved when the order was placed. If the invoice matches it, it does not have to wait.

### An invoice under an approved contract

Rent, lease, subscriptions: someone already signed that agreement. It counts the same as a matched order.

## What always stops a posting

Even for a supplier that posts automatically. If Glimps sees any of these eight things, it does not post and puts the invoice in front of you.

Possible duplicate invoice

Different bank account than usual

Amounts do not add up

Amount above your ceiling

Credit note

Supplier silent for a year

Different currency than usual

Duplicate check could not run

One switch stops all automatic posting. Preparing simply carries on.

Every invoice shows what Glimps did and why. You and your accountant can read it all back.

## Build up calmly, in four steps

Nobody switches this to automatic on day one. This is how it goes in practice.

1. 01Connect Exact Online and your mailboxInvoices come in by themselves and get read and coded. You press post.
2. 02Correct what is wrongEvery correction teaches Glimps how you book. The longer you work, the less you have to change.
3. 03Say yes to the first proposalsGlimps proposes itself which suppliers can post automatically. Start with the boring suppliers that invoice often: that is where the hours are.
4. 04Only look at the exceptionsYour dashboard then only shows what needs a person. That is the work that remains.

### What Glimps never does

- Pay. No agent can move money.
- Put a supplier on automatic by itself. That is always your yes.
- Post while a check fires.
- Let your data be used to train AI models.

## Questions about agentic Glimps

Want to try Glimps yourself?Try the demo What does agentic mean here exactly?

That Glimps does the work itself instead of only suggesting it: picking up invoices, reading, coding, preparing, and, if you want, posting. You decide up front how far that goes and read along afterwards.

Does Glimps post invoices without anyone looking?

No, not on its own. By default every invoice is prepared and you press post. You switch on automatic posting per supplier, and even then eight checks stop the posting when something is off.

Then you correct it, and that supplier goes back to prepare by itself. Climbing takes a clean track record and your yes. Falling back takes one correction.

Yes. There is one switch for all automatic posting. Flip it and Glimps posts nothing by itself anymore. Preparing simply carries on, so you do not fall behind.

No. Glimps posts to Exact Online. You pay in your bank or in Exact. No agent in Glimps can move money.

Yes. Every invoice shows what Glimps did, why, and who clicked yes where. That is exactly what an audit wants to see.

Do my invoices go to an AI vendor for training?

No. No model vendor may use your data to train its models. What Glimps learns from your corrections, it uses only for your own account.

No. The Inbox Agent, Luca, the ChatGPT and Claude connection, and automatic posting are on every plan.
