How it works

Gives small suppliers their own AI to haggle with big buyers’ procurement bots.

Walmart’s robot negotiates with your robot while both humans sleep. Counterbot reads incoming RFQs from email and portals, drafts quotes from the shop’s price rules and capacity, and answers counter-offers inside a floor price the owner sets. Nothing goes out without the owner’s tap.

  1. Step 01

    Reads every RFQ that lands

    Agents parse RFQs from your inbox and buyer portals, including the text of attached drawings, and pull out quantities, specs and deadlines.

  2. Step 02

    Drafts the quote from your rules

    Quotes come from your own price rules and capacity, laid out line by line for you to check.

  3. Step 03

    Counters inside your floor

    When a buyer’s bot pushes back, Counterbot answers inside the floor price you set. You approve each offer with one tap.

What you get

Built for small manufacturers, machine shops and distributors.

01

An inbox agent for RFQs

Reads RFQ blasts from email and buyer portals and drafts a quote from your price rules and capacity.

02

Counter-offers inside your floor

Answers automated negotiation rounds without ever going below the floor price you set.

03

One-tap approval and a win log

Every send waits for your tap. Win rates are tracked per buyer, with a warning when a buyer’s bot is squeezing your margin.

First up: we start with a free tool: paste in an RFQ and get a drafted quote back in five minutes.

Why now

The world just changed.

What changed, and where it was reported.

  1. Pactum’s chatbot negotiated with about 2,000 Walmart suppliers at once, and roughly 75% of them said they preferred it to a human.

  2. SAP Ariba with Joule procurement agents is sold as agents that source suppliers and ‘optimize terms’, with one consultancy claiming a 45-day cycle cut to 10.

    Savic
  3. Buyer-side agents such as Buyer24 draft an RFQ, send it to every supplier, chase the replies and build the comparison table.

Here’s the line we don’t cross.

Nothing binding leaves your inbox without your tap, and no offer can go below the floor you set. We follow each buyer portal’s rules on automated replies rather than working around them.

Questions

Straight answers.

Get early access
What if it quotes the wrong price?

Quoting errors cost real money, so nothing is sent without your tap, and no offer can go below the floor price you set.

Do big buyers really negotiate by bot?

Walmart’s did, with about 2,000 suppliers at once. Beyond that, much of the evidence is vendor claims, so we’re interviewing suppliers before we open.

Can a buyer portal block it?

Some portals may ban automated replies. That is a real risk, and we’ll follow each portal’s rules rather than work around them.
