Where the AI is different
Most ERPs added a chat box. The Tarleaks ERP copilot holds real tools in every app, scoped to each user's own permissions, so it does not only answer: it fills in the leave request, drafts the reply to an invoice query, matches a bank statement line, and shows a manager the payroll and attendance picture behind a decision. Anything that changes data waits for the user's confirmation. With the AI Agents app the same tools run on a schedule, with approval steps and a full audit trail. Use a cloud AI provider with your own key, or a model on your own servers.
