Negotiations
Run the deal from one window, not an inbox. The Deal Agent holds every renewal and negotiation from the notice date to the signature, and each deal runs through Read, Benchmark, Plan, Terms, Negotiate, and Close: mandate, tactics, concession ledger, commitments, counter queue, and landing zone. The AI ghost writer answers the vendor in your voice, and the playbook tells you what to ask for.
Mandate, tactics, concession ledger, commitments, counter queue, and landing zone on the deal's six steps. When the deal closes, the post-mortem and lessons digest keep the knowledge in the team.
AI classifies the vendor tactic, logs what they conceded, and drafts the reply like a seasoned negotiator, grounded in your numbers, with a note on the play behind it.
Explore alternative terms and see the financial impact of each. The vendor fiscal calendar tells you when their quarter closes, because timing is leverage.
Today puts what needs you first, the Board tracks every deal by stage, the Calendar counts down notice dates, and Documents holds the offers and the paper. Drop the contract and the deal's Read and Benchmark steps fill in, then close with the report and the board paper.
Hand a renewal to Vera and she negotiates it by email inside your limits: benchmarks before she writes, argues round after round, and brings every offer back. Reject with a steer and she counters again. You approve the goal and decide every offer.
Every autopilot works under a mandate you sign: how hard to push, what may be disclosed, how often it returns to you, the annual spend it may commit, and when the authority lapses. The guardian reads each draft against it and allows, rewrites, blocks, or escalates, with the rule and the reason on the record.
A whisper rail while the vendor is talking.
Paste the meeting link and Vera or a specialist joins the call, or open the live room and the copilot transcribes the call in real time. A whisper rail feeds fact-grounded prompts as the vendor speaks: the claim to challenge, the number to hold, the concession still on the table. Every prompt is tied to a stored fact, and a public call-notice keeps the room informed that the session is assisted.
Set your policy once: the standard, the language a redline uses, the fallback, and the walk away line for every term. From then on the redline, the ghost writer, and the counter queue all argue from your terms, not generic boilerplate.
Opt in to a vendor bloc and negotiate on one shared term sheet inside a shared window. Members stay anonymous until mutual opt-in, and the concession wire is k-anonymous, so you see what the group is winning without exposing who gave what.
ANP v0.1 opens agent-to-agent negotiation: a published protocol spec, an agent API, and a hash-chain ledger that records every offer and counter, so both sides can verify the exchange after the fact.
Walk in with the number comparable buyers got.
Brief, playbook, talking points, and the counter-offer. All grounded.
