Zip launches AI agents for procurement governance

Zip, an AI procurement platform, has introduced five AI 'Superagents' designed to review contracts, code invoices, and negotiate with vendors within its governance framework. This move addresses enterprise anxiety over employees using personal AI accounts for sensitive financial data, which poses compliance and security risks. Zip's solution integrates with AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), ensuring audit trails and compliance controls are maintained. The company aims to provide a secure, governed environment for AI in procurement, a sector facing intense AI competition.
