Workflow tools, like n8n, Power Automate, Make, or Zapier, are designed for general process automation. They connect systems, trigger actions, and, allow generalist AI steps inside the flows. These tools work well when data is already structured and the process is event-driven.

Cloudsquid is built for finance operations, where data rarely arrives clean. It starts with unstructured inputs such as emails, PDFs, and spreadsheets, extracts and organizes the information, and then applies finance-specific logic and specialized AI Agents for reconciliations, trade deductions, promotions, three-way matches, and expense categorization until the data is ready for review or posting to an ERP.

‍

Instead of wiring flows manually, users compose workflows from specialized AI agents like Extraction, Reconciliation, and Classifier agents that understand and operate directly on their data, allowing to transform disjointed inputs into structured, dependable information and carrying it through the full finance process.

‍

In short:

• Workflow builders automate actions.
• Cloudsquid automates the understanding and resolution of real finance data.
