London-based tech company Rossum has unveiled specialist AI agents designed to transform how businesses handle paperwork automation.

Rossum's new offering features purpose-built AI agents that can execute standard operating procedures, perform complex reasoning tasks, and adapt to business-specific contexts. These specialists are specifically engineered for processing transactional documents like invoices and purchase orders - going beyond simple data capture to interpret unstructured payment terms, implement conditional approvals, and manage policy-based routing.

"Enterprise paperwork processes are inherently complex because they're designed to keep businesses safe," explains Petr Baudis, Chief Technology Officer and Cofounder of Rossum.

"While generalist AI agents may seem like an appealing shortcut, they lack the specific skills, domain expertise, and guardrails needed to handle these workflows reliably."

The company's solution introduces four key capabilities: executing procedures according to existing protocols, performing advanced reasoning tasks, expanding data context through integration with enterprise master data, and providing operational insights on AI agent performance.

For accounts payable departments specifically, these AI agents promise to codify and automate standard procedures without requiring IT involvement - potentially transforming scattered manual workflows into structured, auditable processes that ensure consistency and compliance.

This launch follows Rossum's 2024 introduction of Rossum Aurora and its specialized Transactional-Large Language Model, continuing the company's stated mission of "empowering one person to process one million transactions per year."

The company claims its specialist approach delivers concrete business benefits including accelerated process automation, enhanced compliance, reduced risk, and improved employee productivity by freeing staff from repetitive paperwork tasks.
