Agent and API

Use AI to prepare quotes, organize exceptions and keep the right work in front of your team.

An agent can assist the people who estimate, buy and run jobs when the application and its scoped interface have been configured and verified. These are proposed uses of the authored system; the examples below are not a published Job Shop API contract.

Teaching an agent the system

curl -s erp.ai/skill.md

This is the platform skill entry point. The deployed application’s schema, permitted actions and operating rules still need to be supplied and checked. Give each agent its own scoped identity and only the access required for its assignment.

These illustrate tasks to map to verified actions during implementation. Machine work and model usage follow the pricing page, including separately metered platform resources and the Proto Agent fee. Ordinary manual work has its own free-use boundary.

Agent setup guideRoles and permissions
# Example work after configuration $ curl -s erp.ai/skill.md | paste into your agent › Prepare a quote from this RFQ and flag assumptions for the estimator. › List outside dispatches with overdue or unresolved return quantities. › Find submitted tickets whose labor allocations overlap. › Prepare the close review with unresolved costs and billing obligations.

What an agent typically does here

Estimator's assistant

Prepare an estimate from the RFQ, reviewed drawing and applicable routing. Surface quantity alternatives, outside-service assumptions and differences from previous comparable jobs for the estimator to assess.

Supervisor's assistant

Organize submitted tickets and flag missing clock-off, overlapping labor or quantities needing investigation. Keep proposed corrections separate from the supervisor's decision.

Buyer's assistant

Turn shortages into purchase drafts and organize outstanding outside dispatches. Prepare a request for a supplier update; sending it requires the configured communication authority.

What it cannot do alone

An agent cannot turn preparation into a required human approval. Margin exceptions, controlled purchases, production release, ticket approval, quality decisions and job close follow their configured authority. Automatic policy paths must be explicitly defined; an agent role does not create a bypass. Access to a record does not permit changing a released traveler, spending reserved stock or rewriting a posted amount.

These illustrate tasks to map to verified actions during implementation. Machine work and model usage follow the pricing page, including separately metered platform resources and the Proto Agent fee. Ordinary manual work has its own free-use boundary.
