When Twin<\/a> came out of stealth in January 2024, AI agents were more of a theoretical concept than a reality. Today, the Paris-based is releasing an automation agent in partnership with Qonto<\/a>, the fintech startup that offers business bank accounts to more than 500,000 customers across Europe.<\/p>\n

If you want to automate repetitive tasks, there are already several ways to tackle these problems. Some companies use API-based, no-code or low-code automation products like Zapier<\/a>. Others rely on RPA software, such as UiPath<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With its team of nine people, Twin thinks there\u2019s a much more efficient way to handle automation. As you may have guessed, it involved artificial intelligence and computer use models.<\/p>\n

Invoice Operator, Twin\u2019s first product designed for Qonto, is a good example of why it makes sense to use artificial intelligence. Qonto handles millions of invoices per month. But customers spend several hours per month gathering invoices and uploading them to Qonto.<\/p>\n

Over the past three months, Twin has created an automatic invoice retrieval tool that can speed up this process. When users launch Invoice Operator, Twin first fetches the list of transactions with missing invoices. It then shows the list of services that it needs to access to download<\/a> invoices next to a browser window showing the agent\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n

If you need to log in to a service to download invoices, the browser pauses and asks you to enter your credentials manually. Once this is done, you can click on a button to let the agent continue its work.<\/p>\n

After that, Twin\u2019s Invoice Operator automatically finds your list of past transactions, downloads invoices and attaches the PDFs to the transactions in your Qonto account.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you do that at the scale of Qonto, you basically need to cover a very, very long tail of services. Thousands, tens of thousands and soon hundreds of thousands of different services that everyone is using,\u201d Twin co-founder and CEO Hugo Mercier said during a demo of the product.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that would be completely impossible with RPA because you would need to create a single custom script per website and then every time the website changes, you would have to modify the script,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

As for API-based automation products like Zapier, Mercier said that it took Zapier 10 years to support 8,000 applications on its platform. Twin already supports thousands of applications for its Invoice Operator just a couple of months after starting work on the product.<\/p>\n

Behind the scenes, Twin runs a Chromium-based web browser on a server. The startup uses OpenAI\u2019s CUA model (CUA stands for Computer-Using Agent). In fact, Twin was one of the 15 companies that got to try CUA in beta.<\/p>\n

CUA is also the model that powers OpenAI\u2019s Operator, its prosumer product that lets you enter a prompt to let an agent perform an action for you. In addition to better performance, Twin believes it should be easier to use agents that browse the web for you.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe worked a lot on making the experience extremely simple. We are really targeting the end user, maybe people who are not tech-friendly. They don\u2019t have to prompt or configure anything. You just log into your accounts, launch it, and it navigates to find the invoices,\u201d Mercier said.<\/p>\n

After invoice retrieval, Twin thinks there are many industries that could benefit from B2B agentic applications. For example, agents could automatically manage orders for an e-commerce company, classify the catalog of a marketplace or retrieve information for call center agents.<\/p>\n

Twin is pitching a future in which AI agents become cheaper, faster and more accurate across a wide variety of tasks. Now, let\u2019s see if the startup can turn the core agent platform that powers Invoice Operator into a product that developers can start using in their own applications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
