How do you catch a vendor renewal before it auto renews?

A vendor renewals AI Employee that reads the contracts you pay for each week, finds the ones with an auto renewal or cancellation window closing soon, and posts an alert with a drafted next step to Finance. It alerts and drafts; a named person decides.

Problem

The vendor contracts you pay for each have a renewal date and a cancellation window buried in a PDF nobody rereads after signing. The window to renegotiate, downgrade, or walk away opens and closes weeks before the renewal date, and it closes silently. By the time the charge hits the card, the decision has already been made for you by the clock. Finance can't hold every contract's fine print in their head, and the reminder that would catch it lives in a document, not a calendar. So the tool nobody uses anymore renews for another year, the seat count that should have dropped stays flat, and the leverage to renegotiate is gone, not because anyone chose to renew, but because no one saw the window in time to choose.

What it does

Each week the vendor renewals AI Employee reads the contracts you pay for read only, finds the ones whose auto renewal or cancellation window is closing soon, and posts an alert to Finance for each, with the terms, the deadline, and a drafted next step, whether that's renegotiate, downgrade, or cancel. It alerts and drafts; a named person in Finance decides and acts.

How it works

See exactly how the work gets done.

Runs on a weekly schedule

A scheduled weekly run rereads your contract dates against the calendar, so a window opening this month surfaces with time to act, not the week the charge lands.

Carries your renewal rules

Which contracts to watch, how far ahead to warn, and what a closing window looks like travel with it as skills and memory, updated as your vendor list changes.

Reads the contracts read only

It reads your contract store and calendar read only to find renewal and cancellation dates. Credentials stay in memory, never written to disk, never exposed to the model.

Flags the closing windows

It surfaces each contract whose auto renewal or cancellation window is closing, with the terms and the deadline, so Finance sees exactly what's about to renew and by when.

Alerts with a drafted next step

For each one it posts to Slack with a drafted next step, whether renegotiate, downgrade, or cancel, ready for a person to weigh.

A human decides

It never cancels, renews, or emails a vendor itself. The alert and the draft are for a named person in Finance to act on.

Guardrails

Runs in your environment

Every run is isolated inside your own infrastructure, reaching only the contract store, the calendar, and the channel it posts to.

Reads contracts read only

It reads the contract store and calendar to find the dates. It never edits a contract or changes a renewal setting.

Alert and draft only

It never cancels, renews, or contacts a vendor itself. Every action on a contract is taken by a named person who decided.

A signature on anything irreversible

Cancelling or renewing a contract carries a named human's signature. The AI Employee surfaces the window; it never closes it for you.

You own the rules

Which contracts it watches and how early it warns are yours, versioned and changed on your terms, not in a vendor dashboard.

The outcome

The contract that used to auto renew because no one reread the fine print now surfaces each week while the window is still open, with the terms and a drafted next step. The AI Employee does the watching; a named person makes the call.
