AI assistants and API
Give your teams help with preparation, follow-up and exception review.
An assistant can help a sales rep prepare a quote, a buyer follow a late order or a controller investigate an unreconciled balance. Metal Fabrication ERP specifies these use cases; the application and its service access must be configured and tested before an assistant can act on company data.
Teaching an agent the system
curl -s erp.ai/skill.md
Use the platform skill as a starting point. Confirm the deployed application’s records, supported actions and identity setup during implementation. A published specification does not establish that a particular endpoint or workflow is already available.
The following are illustrative work requests, not a published API contract. Choose the deployed actions and response handling during integration.
Machine reads and writes, managed executions and model usage are metered under the pricing rules. Ordinary manual work in the official interface remains free. Assign the assistant a scoped identity, review its proposed work and use usage receipts to understand its cost.

What it cannot do alone
An assistant cannot turn its user's authority into an unattended human approval. Purchase approval, quote or order decisions, payroll approval, payment release and period close remain with the accountable people described by the process. Service access cannot bypass credit limits, document revisions, independence rules or payroll privacy. Uncertain bank responses require reconciliation before a retry can create another instruction.
Metering
Machine reads and writes, managed executions and model usage are metered under the pricing rules. Ordinary manual work in the official interface remains free. Assign the assistant a scoped identity, review its proposed work and use usage receipts to understand its cost.
