Mandate, tactics, concession ledger, commitments, counter queue, and landing zone in one place. When the deal closes, the post-mortem and lessons digest keep the knowledge in the team.
AI classifies the vendor tactic, logs what they conceded, and drafts the reply like a seasoned negotiator, grounded in your numbers, with a note on the play behind it.
Explore alternative terms and see the financial impact of each. The vendor fiscal calendar tells you when their quarter closes, because timing is leverage.
Drop the contract and six executive-brief documents assemble on their own: benchmark, decoded terms with the ask list, analyst brief, playbook, vendor intel, and the credible alternative priced. Set the goal, invite finance and legal, tick the plan off, and let the room email the team a status report on your cadence.
Point Vera at a vendor and she works the whole renewal by email: benchmarks before she writes, opens as your desk, argues round after round, and stops the moment a formal offer lands. Reject with a steer and she counters again. You approve the goal and decide every offer.
Every autopilot works under a mandate you sign: how hard to push, what may be disclosed, how often it returns to you, the annual spend it may commit, and when the authority lapses. The guardian reads each draft against it and allows, rewrites, blocks, or escalates, with the rule and the reason on the record.
Open the live room and the copilot transcribes the call in real time. A whisper rail feeds fact-grounded prompts as the vendor speaks: the claim to challenge, the number to hold, the concession still on the table. Every prompt is tied to a stored fact, and a public call-notice keeps the room informed that the session is assisted.
Codify your playbook once: your position, pre-approved wording, and walkaway for every clause. From then on the redline, the ghost writer, and the counter queue all argue from your terms, not generic boilerplate.
Opt in to a vendor bloc and negotiate on one shared term sheet inside a shared window. Members stay anonymous until mutual opt-in, and the concession wire is k-anonymous, so you see what the group is winning without exposing who gave what.
ANP v0.1 opens agent-to-agent negotiation: a published protocol spec, an agent API, and a hash-chain ledger that records every offer and counter, so both sides can verify the exchange after the fact.
Brief, playbook, talking points, and the counter-offer. All grounded.
