Datarails AI Agents are conversational finance assistants designed specifically for finance teams. They help you think, analyze, and act using your real financial data through guided conversations.

Instead of returning generic answers, AI Agents help clarify your question, guide you through the right steps, and produce outputs you can actually use, such as Excel files, PowerPoint presentations, PDFs, dashboards, and Datarails-connected reports. You interact with them using natural language, just like a conversation, and they ask follow-up questions to ensure accuracy and relevance.

Key Differentiators

Datarails AI Agents are purpose-built for finance workflows. Unlike generic AI tools, they:

• Work with Trusted Data: Access and analyze your real, authorized financial data.

• Guide You Step-by-Step: Lead you through complex finance tasks with structured logic.

• Produce Real Outputs: Generate usable files and reports, not just text answers.

• Enable Drill-Down: Allow you to move from high-level insights to detailed transaction data.

• Leverage Business Context: Use your specific company model and financial context to tailor results.

Understanding Guided Flows

Guided flows are structured conversations designed to help you reach the right outcome without needing to craft a perfect prompt. Instead of relying on you to know exactly what to ask, the Agent guides you by:

• Asking clarifying questions to understand your intent.

• Presenting relevant options for analysis or reporting.

• Confirming key decisions before creating content.

This ensures you stay in control at every step, and nothing is created or changed without your confirmation.

The Specialized Agent Approach

Finance questions require different mindsets at different moments. The same metric might need a strategic long-term view in one meeting, but a detailed variance explanation in another.

To address this, Datarails AI is organized into three specialized agents—Strategy, Planning, and Reporting. This ensures every conversation starts in the right context and follows the specific workflows designed for that type of work, leading to clearer questions and more reliable outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I need to know how to phrase finance questions to use AI Agents? No. You can ask questions in plain language. Guided flows help clarify your intent and guide you to the right result.

Will AI Agents change my data automatically? No. AI Agents always ask for confirmation before creating outputs or taking actions.

Can I still work in Excel? Yes. Excel is a core part of the experience, and AI Agents can create live, Datarails-connected Excel files.
