AI for ops & finance

Agents that ops and finance
teams actually rely on.

Describe a messy, recurring process. Parabola runs it at production scale,
shows its work at each step, and stays audit-ready through every handoff.

Inventory reconciliation
Working
I need to figure out why our inventory numbers keep drifting between systems. Can you pull what we have in Cin7, Shopify, and ShipHero?
Done. I pulled current inventory from all three and standardized the SKU formats so they match across systems.
OK, now cross-reference them and show me where the counts don't line up.

Standardize Cin7 SKUs
Create a standardized SKU column for joining
Uppercases and trims "SKU". Removes the leading "R-" prefix when present.
Aggregate to one row per SKU

Standardize Shopify SKUs
Create a standardized SKU column for joining
Uppercases and trims "variant_sku".
Aggregate to one row per SKU
Sums "Variant Inventory Quantity" across all Shopify rows for that SKU. Keeps representative product name plus a summary of colorways.
Standardize ShipHero SKUs
Create a standardized SKU column for joining
Uppercases and trims "sku".

Sums "on_hand" across every ShipHero warehouse per SKU.
Reconcile inventory by SKU
Join
Combines Cin7, Shopify, and ShipHero inventory into one table using "SKU".
Compare
Adds per-system quantities, quantity deltas, and a reconciliation_status (Match / Mismatch / Missing).
Sort
Puts items needing attention at the top.
Filter threshold variances
Filter
Keeps rows where "Needs_attention" is true (Missing or variance over threshold).
Sort
Prioritizes missing items, then biggest percent variance.
Build discrepancy email summary
Summarize
Calculates total discrepancies (Mismatch + Missing) and other quick KPIs.
Timestamp
Adds "Report_generated_at" for the email subject/body.
Gate
Outputs 0 rows when there are no discrepancies (prevents the email from sending).

Parabola is for

The messy, high-stakes work generic AI can't handle.

Start a new agent with common use cases

Describe it

Start the way you'd explain it to a colleague.

Parabola asks thoughtful follow-ups based on deep expertise in ops and finance use cases.

Working
Ask Parabola to build, change, or run an agent...

Build it

Every decision is documented.

Your process becomes a visual agent you can edit, govern, and audit. Change one step, and everything downstream updates. No re-prompting from scratch.

Your process becomes a documented agent your team can read. Steer as it builds, not after.
Every step shows its input, logic, and output. AI reasoning in language your team can read.

Run it

Works the way you do.

Connect to your existing tools, schedule agents to run on their own, and easily share with your team. All with the permissions, governance, and audit trail your team requires.

Your systems, connected.

1,000+ data sources. Connect to your ERP, data warehouse, email, file storage system and more.

Runs on its own.

Hourly, daily, weekly, or on trigger. Parabola handles retries, alerts you on failure, and logs every run.

Your team, your rules.

Every agent is a living SOP that can be shared across your team. Fine-grained permissions keep access secure.

Enterprise-grade security

  • SOC 2 Type II
  • SSO & SAML
  • Role-based access
  • Data encryption
  • Usage analytics
My team can now see a problem and fix it themselves. Watching them take ownership of work that used to wait on someone else is exhilarating.”

What happens after the first run?

Your SOPs deserve better.

Most AI agents are built for the demo. Parabola builds for your thousandth run, the auditor, and the teammate covering when you're OOO.

general purpose agents
Black-box logic. Lacks transparency.
Context is gone. Reprompt and rebuild.
Silent failure. You find out downstream.
A doc. A Loom. A Slack thread.
"It's from the agent"
Start over.
Parabola
Fully documented
Same agent, same logic. New data flows through.
Email notice. Clear identification of the error point.
They open the agent, read the steps, click run.
Version history. Full audit logs.
Edit one step. Everything else holds.
