Use Cases

Financial questions, answered instantly

Real scenarios where AI agents handle budget inquiries, transaction lookups, and card questions that typically flood your finance team's inbox.

Budget Checks Before Every Purchase Decision

A marketing manager wants to know if there is room in the budget for a new ad tool subscription. They message the AI Agent, which retrieves the marketing budget from Brex, confirms $3,200 remains from the monthly allocation, and shows the last five transactions against that budget. The manager makes an informed purchase decision in under a minute. Finance never gets the email asking "how much budget do I have left?"

Expense Audit Prep Without Manual Exports

Your controller asks the AI Agent to pull all transactions over $500 from last quarter. The agent queries Brex by amount range and date, returning a filtered list with merchant names, card owners, and dates. What used to involve exporting CSVs and building pivot tables becomes a conversational request that delivers results in seconds.

New Employee Card and Budget Onboarding

HR onboards a new engineer and needs them set up with a Brex card and engineering budget access. The AI Agent creates the user in Brex, issues a virtual card with the right spend controls, and assigns it to the engineering budget. The new hire has spending access on day one. The finance team handles one less onboarding checklist item.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent retrieve transaction details from Brex?

The agent calls Brex's Get Transactions API with date range filters. It can also filter by description text to find charges from specific vendors, or by amount range to surface high-value transactions. Results include merchant name, amount, currency, posting date, and card details. All queries happen in real-time.

Can the agent create new virtual cards and set spending limits?

Yes. The agent uses Brex's Create Card API to issue virtual or physical cards, assign them to specific users, and set spending controls including total limits and velocity controls like daily, weekly, or monthly caps. Cards are created programmatically during the conversation.

Does Tars require admin-level Brex access?

It depends on what actions you want the agent to perform. Read-only access is sufficient for transaction lookups and budget checks. Creating cards, managing users, or updating budgets requires appropriate write permissions. You control the scope through your Brex OAuth settings or API token permissions.

Is my Brex financial data stored by Tars?

No. Tars queries the Brex API in real-time during each conversation. Transaction amounts, card numbers, budget allocations, and user information are fetched live and used only to respond to the current request. No financial data is cached or stored outside the active session.

Can employees check their own card transactions without seeing other people's data?

Yes. You can configure the agent to scope queries to the requesting user's cards and budgets. The Brex API supports user-specific data retrieval, and the agent can be set up to only return information relevant to the authenticated employee.

How is this different from the Brex mobile app or dashboard?

The Brex app requires employees to log in and navigate to the right section. Tars AI Agents bring Brex data into wherever your team already communicates, including Slack, WhatsApp, or your website. Employees ask in natural language and get answers instantly, without switching apps or remembering how to navigate Brex.

Can the agent handle multi-currency transactions from Brex?

Yes. Brex supports transactions in multiple currencies, and the agent retrieves the full transaction record including original currency and USD equivalent amounts. It presents this clearly in conversation so employees understand cross-border charges.

What happens if an employee asks about a transaction that was reversed or pending?

The agent returns the transaction status as reported by Brex, including pending, posted, or reversed states. If a transaction is pending, the agent explains that the charge has not fully posted yet and may still change. No misleading information about incomplete transactions.
