AI Assistant for AP/AR Teams — From Onboarding to Workflow Guidance

A smart assistant that supports Accounts Payable SMEs with training, product navigation, and instant access to complex documentation.

Overview

A finance operations team needed a better way to onboard new AP/AR specialists and reduce time spent answering recurring questions. We delivered an AI Assistant trained specifically on their accounts workflows, tools, and manuals — acting as both a virtual coach and an embedded knowledge assistant.

The Challenge

New hires often struggled with fragmented documentation, complex finance software, and inconsistent support. SMEs spent valuable hours guiding others through tasks, reducing their ability to focus on high-impact work.

The Solution

SphereIQ’s AP/AR AI Assistant:

  • Provides contextual answers about AP/AR tools and processes
  • Explains how to navigate product features and complete workflows
  • Links directly to product manuals, forms, and company documentation
  • Supports onboarding by acting as a real-time tutor for new team members

It learns from internal FAQs, SOPs, and historical inquiries to get smarter over time — reducing repetitive requests to SMEs.
