AI Training for Procurement Teams
Twenty procurement tasks. Four AI platforms. What they caught, and what they missed.
Each lesson takes one task a procurement team already does — normalize supplier quotes, read a renewal contract, compare freight on a landed-cost basis — and hands it to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot on a dated run. You see what each one returned, including where it was confidently wrong, and you build a reusable agent for the task from a job description plus a case file. The case files are synthetic; the platform runs are real, with the screenshots on disk. You finish with a working agent, not a certificate.
