Light vs Paraglide
Paraglide is a set of AI agents for accounts receivable that sits on top of your ERP: a Billing Support Agent that answers invoice queries in any language, sends documents and captures PO numbers and promise-to-pay dates, and a Collections Agent that runs two-way collections conversations with reminders and escalation, with dispute and deduction tracking, a Reconciliation Agent for cash application, and DSO and aging reports, working on invoices from the ERP, CRM, billing tool and inbox you keep. Light is the agentic ERP where the invoice, the reminder, the cash match and the ledger entry are one record, with AP, corporate cards, vendor payments on local rails in 80+ countries and consolidation built in.
