In Q2 2025, Vic.ai took a bold step forward in delivering on the promise of autonomous finance.

This quarter’s release introduces three major innovations: the launch of VicPayTM 2.0, the debut of our Vendor Portal, and the arrival of VicAgents™ — intelligent, task-specific AI teammates that take action, not just deliver insights.

These launches work in concert to simplify how finance teams manage vendors, execute payments, and handle high-volume, high-effort tasks. Backed by new platform enhancements across user experience, invoice intelligence, and ERP visibility, this release moves Vic.ai beyond traditional automation — into a new era of Agentic AI.

VicPay: AI-optimized payments with zero friction

With the launch of VicPay 2.0, we've brought our own payment rails to the VicPay experience and now finance teams can now initiate and execute payments directly within the Vic.ai platform over Vic.ai payment rails. Supporting ACH, check, and virtual card, VicPay enables faster cycle times, automated early-payment discount capture, and platform-controlled disbursements — with no transaction fees on U.S. payments.

VicPay also eliminates the need for positive pay files and removes operating account exposure, while integrating directly into invoice processing and approval workflows, reducing the risk of fraud. It’s secure, seamless, and designed for autonomy.

The result is a faster, safer, and more intelligent way to manage payments that’s fully embedded in the broader Vic.ai APSuiteTM.

Vendor Portal: A self-service gateway for vendors

The new Vendor Portal extends VicPay’s capabilities with a complete self-service experience for your vendors.

Rather than managing vendor setup through spreadsheets and email threads, AP teams can now invite vendors to onboard through a secure portal. Vendors enter their business details, select their preferred payment method, and gain access to real-time invoice and payment status. Payment details are verified through Plaid, giving clients confidence that banking information is correct before any money exchanges hands.

Once onboarded, vendors join the Vic Vendor Network, allowing them to use the same profile across all clients on the Vic.ai platform. This reduces friction for vendors and streamlines management for clients — saving time on both sides of the equation.

VicAgents: Your AI finance partners

This quarter marks the launch of VicAgents — Vic.ai's intelligent finance partners that work alongside your team to transform how you manage vendor relationships and financial operations.

Meet your new finance collaborators

The Contract Agent (now in beta) becomes your contract intelligence partner, maintaining comprehensive knowledge of every vendor agreement. Working behind the scenes, it can cross-reference each invoice against contract terms to catch missed discounts, flag compliance violations in real-time, and proactively alert you to upcoming renewals months in advance. When vendors fail to meet their obligations, it can automatically route compliance questionnaires and track resolution, turning your contracts from static documents into active business intelligence. The use cases are endless.

The Analytics Agent (also in beta) serves as your on-demand finance analyst, instantly answering questions like "What's our approval time by entity?" or "Which vendors missed early payment discounts?" with real-time visual insights pulled directly from your Vic.ai data.

Beyond automation: True collaboration

VicAgents don't just automate tasks — they collaborate with your team on what we call Agentic Tasks. These are the structured, repeatable responsibilities that require precision and context but don't necessitate human judgment every time: flagging duplicate invoices, monitoring vendor performance against SLAs, validating compliance requirements, and responding to routine AP inquiries.

Your VicAgen partners work within existing workflows, bringing institutional knowledge to every decision. They ensure no early payment discount goes unclaimed, no contract violation goes unnoticed, and no compliance deadline is missed.

The result: Intelligent partnership

This represents a fundamental shift from dashboards to decisions, from chasing insights to driving outcomes, from automation to intelligent action. Your finance team gains AI partners that think, learn, and act — amplifying human expertise rather than replacing it.

Already live: VicInbox

While VicAgent are officially launching this quarter, one of them has already been hard at work.

VicInbox — our first live VicAgents — is deployed across the Vic.ai platform today. It autonomously triages and categorizes AP inbox emails, routes them appropriately, and can even generate on-brand, data-backed replies using live ERP and invoice information.

It’s not just automation — it’s intelligent delegation.

And this is just the beginning. Future VicAgents will cover areas such as cash flow forecasting, compliance monitoring, and payment optimization — all orchestrated by Victoria, the intelligence that powers the entire Vic.ai platform.

Platform enhancements: A smarter, stronger foundation

Alongside our major product launches, we’ve rolled out a set of improvements to the core Vic.ai platform to enhance usability, visibility, and control:

  • A redesigned dashboard experience that includes real-time metrics, actionable shortcuts, and on-brand UI upgrades. This is currently in beta and rolling out across all customers.
  • A new “view only” user role, allowing teams to grant visibility access without editing permissions — ideal for business stakeholders or auditors.
  • Expanded error filters that allow users to view invoices by specific error types (e.g., duplicate, missing fields, posting errors) for faster resolution.
  • ERP payment visibility, enabling clients who don’t use Vic.ai for payments to still view paid status, check numbers, and payment dates within the Vic.ai interface.
  • Autopilot for PO invoices, bringing the same high-confidence automation used for expense invoices to purchase-order-based workflows.

These upgrades reflect our ongoing investment in making Vic.ai the most capable, intuitive, and enterprise-ready AP platform available.

Looking ahead

This quarter marks a meaningful acceleration in our mission to transform finance operations through AI. With intelligent payments, autonomous onboarding, AI-powered agents, and a more refined platform experience, Vic.ai continues to evolve from a best-in-class AP automation platform into an intelligent operating system for the Office of the CFO.

And this is just the beginning. Additional VicAgents are in development to handle Agentic Tasks across areas like:

  • Cash flow forecasting
  • Compliance monitoring
  • Payment optimization

Autonomous finance isn’t a vision — it’s becoming a daily reality. As always, we thank our customers and partners for pushing us forward.
