Sage opened a marketplace where Intacct customers add AI agents built by partners. One shared workspace for those agents is only planned.
Sage opened the Agent Marketplace in Sage Intacct accounting software on 5 November, the publication ERP Today reported.
Customers can subscribe to artificial intelligence finance agents, software programs that automate routine tasks, built by outside vendors and assign permissions through a console.
One application from Sovos automates sales tax compliance across over 13,000 jurisdictions, the software maker says. It uses invoice data to track economic nexus, the sales level at which a US state can make a seller collect its sales tax, across all 50 states at no additional cost for current US subscribers.
Wipfli plans to offer a separate agent for construction firms on the Amazon Web Services Marketplace, Wipfli reports. It will reconcile project costs and billing across systems even when they are not integrated.
The catch is the next step. AI Workspaces, designed to give finance teams one place to work with partner agents and workflows, remain a planned experience. The first limited rollout for accounts payable is planned for selected customers in November.
"Agents execute the routine work, while finance professionals review and approve work according to the custom controls their business built into the Sage AI platform," Jon Fasoli, a senior vice president, said.

- 2Ask what each tool is allowed to change, and who reviews what it changed.
- 3Ask how the result is measured, and who decides to switch a tool off.
