No sub-agents match . Discovery finds the jobs your team actually does, so yours will likely include ones not listed here.
Examples of what discovery typically turns into. Your library is built from the work your own team does, so names, triggers and connectors will differ.
How a library agent becomes yours
From the way your team works today to an agent in the vault.
01 · Discover
We find who does this work today.
Read-only access to your tools' audit logs shows where AI is already doing finance work, and who is behind it. Nothing is installed on laptops.
02 · Interview
A short interview with the person.
They talk or type through how the job runs today. The output is a written spec: trigger, steps, tools, data and owner.
03 · Vault
Tested, approved, live in the vault.
The sub-agent is test-run on real data, its owner approves it, and it joins the Finance agent under the vault's controls.
People ask the parent agent where they already work, in Slack, Teams, Claude or ChatGPT: @Finance agent run the bank reconciliation for last week
Controls
The controls finance leaders ask about first.
Every sub-agent runs in the agent vault, with an activity log of every run, versions that need approval, and run history kept for 30 days.
- Nothing posts or pays without a person. Agents draft journals and payment runs; a named approver releases them. Thresholds are set per sub-agent.
- A trail behind every number. Each run records which systems it read, what it produced and which approved version ran. Exportable as evidence for SOC 2 and ISO 42001 reviews.
- Ledger data stays where it lives. Agents read your accounting system through company connectors in the region you set, such as EU · Dublin. Nothing is copied into a personal chatbot history.
FAQ
Questions from finance teams.
Is this a fixed set of agents we switch on?+
No. These are examples of what discovery typically finds in finance. Your library is built from the work your own team already does, through short interviews with the people who do it.
Will it post to the ledger on its own?+
Only if you build it to. Most finance sub-agents read and recommend, and anything above a threshold goes to a named person before it goes further.
Can auditors see what it did?+
Yes. The activity log shows every run, tool call and approval, and you can export it as evidence for SOC 2 and ISO 42001 reviews.
