Billy, Your AI Employee
Why Billy is Different
Than Every Other AI in Finance
Billy represents a fundamentally different approach to AI in finance. With 83 million hours of procure-to-pay experience, Billy joins your team already equipped with an understanding of the complexities of AP—from vendor behavior patterns to approval workflows to exception handling.
While other AI’s assist, Billy operates.
Built from Real-World Finance Operations
Grounded in over a decade of observing how finance experts think and decide, Billy has learned the “why” behind every process in P2P. That depth of understanding lets it navigate complexity with human-like reasoning, bringing the same judgment and context as a seasoned member of
your team.
Adaptive Learning, Not Rigid Programming
Billy brings deep P2P expertise and quickly adapts to your operations. Instead of forcing you into preset workflows, it learns your organization’s unique logic—your coding, approvals, vendors, and rules. One correction teaches the entire system, improving every future transaction.
What makes Billy different?
Contextual Understanding Across the P2P Lifecycle
End-to-End Process Integration
Billy operates across the entire procure-to-pay lifecycle—from request intake through payment execution. Because Stampli structures every transaction, approval, and communication, Billy maintains complete visibility into process flow and can reason through complex scenarios, just as an experienced AP professional would.
Advanced Exception Handling
When faced with incomplete information or discrepancies between documents, Billy uses contextual reasoning to understand what’s really happening – not just what’s missing. Drawing on vendor patterns, transaction history, and real AP context, Billy resolves most exceptions on its own and provides specific, actionable recommendations for resolution.
Dynamic Process Adaptation
As your organization evolves—through restructuring, acquisitions, or process changes—Billy adapts without requiring system reconfiguration. New approval layers, modified cost centers, or restructured departments are incorporated immediately into Billy’s operational logic, ensuring continuity through change.
Continuous Performance Improvement
Billy leverages more than 83 million hours of P2P operations experience and continuously refines its performance based on your organization’s outcomes and feedback. Every transaction, correction, and edge case strengthens Billy’s understanding—creating compounding improvements in accuracy, efficiency, and sophistication over time.
Complete ERP Integration
Billy operates within Stampli’s ERP-connected environment, maintaining real-time synchronization with Oracle, Sage, Microsoft Dynamics, QuickBooks, Acumatica, and other major systems. This complete integration eliminates manual data transfer, reduces error rates, and ensures Billy always works with the most current, accurate information.
Complexity Management, Not Simplification
Billy was designed for real-world business complexity. Where other solutions promise “touchless” processing by oversimplifying workflows, Billy maintains the nuance, judgment, and control that actual finance operations require. Providing intelligent automation while preserving the human oversight and decision-making authority your complex processes demand.
Billy FAQs
How does Billy differ from general-purpose AI assistants like ChatGPT?
General-purpose AI tools provide information and suggestions but lack domain-specific operational capability. Billy is purpose-built for P2P operations with 83 million hours of specialized experience. When Billy processes an invoice, it applies learned vendor patterns, organizational approval logic, and historical precedent—then executes the work. ChatGPT can explain invoice processing concepts; Billy actually performs the complete invoice-to-payment workflow with accuracy and context awareness.
How does Billy handle novel situations outside its training?
Billy applies contextual reasoning and pattern recognition to unfamiliar scenarios. Once you provide guidance or correction, Billy incorporates that feedback into its permanent knowledge base—applying the learning consistently across all similar future situations without requiring repeated instruction.
Can Billy accommodate our organization-specific complexity?
Billy was specifically designed to handle complex, multi-layered operational logic. Whether you have approval matrices that vary by amount, department, and vendor type, or multi-entity structures with different workflows, Billy adapts to your reality. The system learns and applies your specific business rules, including the organizational nuances that make your operations unique.
What level of control and oversight do we maintain?
Billy operates under complete human oversight. You define the approval thresholds, and Billy works within those parameters — escalating situations that require human judgment for the right decision.
Will Billy replace AP staff positions?
Billy eliminates repetitive manual tasks—data entry, duplicate checking, routine matching—not positions. AP professionals remain essential for strategic vendor management, complex exception resolution, process optimization, and financial analysis. Billy enables your team to focus on high-value activities that require human expertise, judgment, and relationship management.
Why doesn't Stampli describe Billy as delivering "touchless" AP?
True touchless processing is incompatible with real business operations that require control, judgment, and collaboration. Billy automates all automatable work while maintaining the human oversight, exception handling, and strategic decision-making that effective AP operations require. We prioritize intelligent automation over simplified automation that sacrifices control and accuracy.
