Set the goals. Let an AI agent negotiate them.

Describe the deal in plain language. The AI drafts the full scenario — objectives, guardrails and trade-offs — then negotiates with the supplier on your behalf, showing every step in a transparent reasoning log.

The old way

A single price field, one dimension, no follow-up.

Price-only, one dimension
Payment terms, volume discounts and price holds get lost — only the headline number is negotiated.
Manual back-and-forth
Buyers write follow-up emails one by one — most tail-spend items never get a second round.
Strategy stays in the buyer's head
Target, ceiling, what you'll trade and what you won't — none of it is written down or repeatable.
The PINPOOLS way

Draft it in words. Let the agent run it.

Describe the deal once. The AI turns it into a structured scenario — objectives with priorities, guardrails it can't cross, behavior policies, and the trade-offs it's allowed to offer — then negotiates against all of them at once, with the buyer keeping oversight and the final say.

Benefits

What procurement teams get out of it.

A negotiator that runs your playbook on every request — and stays inside the lines every time.

Drafted from a prompt

Type the deal in plain language — the AI fills in scope, objectives and trade-offs for you to review.

Guardrails it can't cross

Hard limits and behavior policies — never reveal the limit, no pressure tactics — are enforced automatically.

Trades value, not principles

It knows what it can give — longer term, more volume, faster payment — and what must never move.

Every move explained

A live reasoning log shows why the agent made each offer — no black box, fully reviewable.

Key capabilities

How the agent works under the hood.

The buyer defines the goals and the limits; the agent executes them. Everything is transparent, auditable, and stays under human control.

Draft with AI

A plain-language prompt becomes a structured scenario — scope, objectives and trade-offs, filled in ready for review.

P9P6P4

Multi-objective goals

Price, payment terms, volume discount and price hold — each with its own current, target and priority weight.

Guardrails & policies

Hard limits plus behavior rules — don't reveal the secret limit, no pressure tactics, no internal context shared.

Trade-off engine

Transparent reasoning log

Every offer comes with the why — which lever it used, which guardrail it respected — logged step by step.

DRY RUN

Dry run & human control

Set objectives & guardrails

Confirm each objective's target and priority, and the hard limits the agent can never cross — including a secret limit it must not disclose and behavior policies it must follow.

Define the trade-offs

Tell the agent what it's allowed to give in exchange for a better price — and what must stay untouched. It only ever trades within these bounds.

Agent negotiates — you award

Rehearse it as a dry run, then let it go live. The agent works the objectives round by round inside your guardrails, logs every step, and hands the result back for you to review and award.

Business case

Your best negotiator's playbook — running on every request.

On tail-spend items a real negotiation rarely happens — buyers don't have the hours, and when they do it's price-only. The agent works all your objectives at once, stays inside the guardrails every time, and shows its reasoning so the team can trust and review the outcome.

Frequently asked

Bot Negotiation questions, answered.

Does the agent make the awarding decision?

No. The agent negotiates within your objectives and guardrails, then hands the outcome to the buyer for review and awarding. Approval always stays with a human.

Can I test it before it talks to a supplier?

Yes. Run the whole negotiation as a dry run first — the agent plays through the rounds against a simulated counterpart so you can check its behavior, then switch it live when you're comfortable.

How do I know it won't cross a line?

You set hard limits and behavior policies up front — a secret limit it must never reveal, no pressure tactics, no sharing of internal context. The reasoning log shows exactly which guardrail applied at each step.
