Tonkean developed proactive AI agents to better equip general and administrative teams to prevent problems, capture hidden savings, and supercharge capacity. The agents empower enterprise teams to shift from reactive firefighting to proactive value creation.
“Proactivity in back-office AI agents is a capability that all AI agent vendors promise, but that few actually provide,” says Tonkean co-founder and CEO Sagi Eliyahu. “Most ‘agents’ you see are just chatbots waiting for commands in chat windows. Real AI agents should work more like networked colleagues—that is, intelligently, autonomously, and yes, proactively. This is how the best coding agents already operate. It’s beyond time we bring such functionality to enterprise G&A. That’s what Tonkean proactive AI agents do.”
Key takeaways:
· All Tonkean customers can now deploy pre-built proactive AI agents as well as build their own proactive AI agents quickly and easily using Tonkean’s no-code agent builder.
· Powered by Tonkean’s agentic orchestration platform, which is designed to help large organizations safely manage—or “orchestrate”—AI agents across their organization, the potential of proactive AI agents to transform back-office work is massive. Procurement, legal, HR, IT, and other enterprise teams can now deploy agents that act independently, preventing problems, capturing opportunities, and handling complex workflows without waiting for human commands.
· Instead of waiting for human triggers, these agents continuously monitor data and events across systems (ERP, P2P, CLM, HRIS, etc.), identify when tasks should start, and autonomously move work forward.
- Your subject-matter experts know exactly which processes drain time and hide opportunity. Now they can fix them directly, building proactive agents in minutes using visual tools—no coding, no IT tickets, no consultants.
- Renewals Agent. Proactively manages the entire renewal lifecycle—monitoring existing contracts, identifying consolidation and negotiation opportunities, and determining which subsequent execution processes to trigger on its own. All so that you can turn renewals into a proactive cost optimization engine.
- Third-Party Risk Agent. Attentively safeguards against risk through persistent monitoring and research. If a vendor is suddenly flagged in external databases (e.g., lawsuit, sanctions list, bad press), this agent launches a review before the next procurement cycle, proactively prepares supplementary documentation and analysis, suggests alternative courses of action, and more.
- Spend Anomaly Agent. Continuously monitors transaction patterns; if it detects a vendor invoice higher than usual or split charges just below approval thresholds, it kicks off a review, prepares supplementary materials detailing history of the account, finds relevant stakeholders and impacted employees, suggests alternative vendors, and more.
