## The Problem

Accounts Payable Managers write time at week's end from memory — billable hours get lost, project codes are wrong, and write-offs eat realization.

## What We Build in Tipalti

AI watches calendar, email, and Bill.com activity, drafts timesheet entries per matter, and asks only for ambiguous slices — realization rate climbs 4–8 points. Purpose-built for teams running Tipalti — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Tipalti Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Tipalti configuration.** We map the specific Tipalti objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your ap operations practice.
2. **Build on the Tipalti API or agent.** Integration happens inside Tipalti — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Tipalti with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
