What is Ask Opstream?

Ask Opstream is a conversational, AI-powered operations assistant for your internal workflows. Ask about spend, vendors, policies, or processes and get instant answers grounded in your live Opstream data; no custom queries or dashboards required. It builds an org-specific LLM so guidance reflects how your business actually operates.

How is Ask Opstream different from ChatGPT or other generic AI tools?

It’s purpose-built for operations, not a general chatbot. Ask Opstream connects to your permissioned systems, workflows, policies, and history, so responses reference your approved vendors, contract terms, exceptions, and routing logic. It focuses on execution and next steps, not generic advice.

What kinds of questions can I ask Ask Opstream?

Anything tied to buying, spending, vendors, contracts, or approvals, for example: approved vendors for Marketing, last quarter’s spend with a supplier, who must approve a software request, how to submit a renewal, or where a request is blocked. If it lives in your operations, it’s answerable.

Can Ask Opstream trigger workflows or just provide answers?

Both. From a response, you can kick off renewals, route approvals, start security or legal reviews, request vendor documents, or open tasks, closing the gap between knowing and doing.

What systems does Ask Opstream connect to?

It uses Opstream’s permissioned syncs to ERPs, sourcing/procurement, CLM, vendor management, ticketing, and document repositories. Data is standardized into a unified model so you can ask one question without hunting across tools.

Can I use Opstream data in Claude or other AI tools?

Yes, through the Opstream MCP connector. It gives MCP-compatible AI tools read-only access to your Opstream requests, vendors, spend, software, documents and custom attributes. Each user signs in with their own Opstream account, answers follow that user’s permissions, and queries are logged, just like Ask Opstream. Unlike Ask Opstream, the connector can’t trigger workflows or change data in Opstream.

How is data security and privacy handled?

Access follows your existing permissions (RBAC, SSO/SCIM). Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, models are isolated per customer, and nothing is shared across tenants. Monitoring, audit logs, and admin controls support enterprise compliance.

Does it require training or setup from my IT team?

Initial setup connects core systems, permissions, and data mappings in Opstream. After that, Ask Opstream learns from your existing data, documents, and workflows; no ongoing IT maintenance or user training required.

Work in Your Own AI Assistant? Bring Opstream With You.

Ask Opstream answers questions inside the platform. The Opstream MCP connector brings the same live procurement data to Claude and other MCP-compatible AI tools your team already uses. Connect once with your Opstream account, then ask about requests, vendors, spend and software without opening another tab.

“Which of my requests are still waiting for approval?”
“What are our top 20 vendors by spend this quarter?”
“What software do we own in the Design category? Any overlapping tools?”
“Make me an interactive heat-map of vendors by spend and risk.”
