JAGGAER Introduces First Intelligent AI Copilot for Procurement Transformation - Middle East Business News and Information
Dubai, United Arab Emirates – June, 2025 – JAGGAER has introduced to customers and partners its latest bold leap forward in enterprise procurement transformation. JAI , pronounced 'Jay', an intelligent human-guided AI orchestrator, provides next-level guidance and navigation, but also offers a critical opportunity to deliver new value. JAI is more than an assistant; JAI is an insightful partner for procurement teams.
As agentic AI is beginning to reshape global commerce, JAGGAER has reimagined the relationship between procurement and technology. JAI is part of JAGGAER One and an evolution of JAGGAER Assist. JAI is an embedded conversational chatbot powered by LLMs, incorporating Q&A capabilities, PO invoice anomaly detection and Gen AI drafting & summarization with new, more powerful orchestration. With JAI customers will experience intuitive and efficient end-user experiences across the platform – all with an equally important 'Human in the Loop'.
JAGGAER customers can start using JAI Assist today, a conversational assistant with contextual coaching that streamlines procurement by answering questions, guiding navigation, and initiating tasks like RFP creation and supplier evaluation. Looking further ahead into 2025, JAI Copilot will offer advanced contextual support, identifying outliers and suggesting actions, with real-time guidance across sourcing, contracting, and supplier management saving hours of analysis – followed by JAI Autopilot, the no code/low code agentic platform for autonomously managing complex procurement workflows to elevate strategic decision-making. This pragmatic evolution offers JAGGAER customers speed and scale they can trust.
While previous releases delivered self-service help, knowledge retrieval, and the ability to trigger workflows using natural language, JAGGAER is taking AI capabilities a step further. Beginning this fall, JAI will offer the full orchestration of intelligent features by developing agent orchestrators to handle tasks like forecasting, spend management, cash flow management, contract management, and RFx automation, into a unified, conversational, and outcome-driven experience.
JAI has been designed to revolutionize how users engage, decide, and deliver outcomes. While to date AI agents have been mainly able to execute tasks such as PO match and supplier outreach end-to-end, JAI is able to orchestrate those agents in copilot mode with its human users, toward a business goal. JAI thus is a trusted digital advisor that coordinates across domain agents—be it sourcing, contracting, or category strategy. The JAGGAER AI roadmap sees JAI evolve into an autopilot, enabling truly autonomous procurement thanks to their ability to execute adaptive as well as deterministic workflows independently, while users act as high-level overseers and decision-makers.
'Today, we're not launching a feature—we're activating the intelligence foundation for JAGGAER's future', says Jon Lawrence, Chief Product Officer at JAGGAER. 'This isn't about adding AI to procurement. It's about transforming procurement into an intelligent system—one that learns, adapts, and gets better with every decision. JAI is how we'll scale expertise, accelerate outcomes, and unlock a new era of value for our customers.'

'It's the very expensive question': Carlie Irsay-Gordon on QBs and more about the Colts
INDIANAPOLIS — Carlie Irsay-Gordon has followed in her father's footsteps this offseason, taking over as the team's primary owner in the wake of Jim Irsay's death in May. Irsay-Gordon has already acknowledged that she may be a little more reserved publicly than her father, but she continued one of her father's traditions on Saturday, sitting down in the broadcast booth for the third quarter of Saturday's preseason game against the Packers. Unlike her father, Irsay-Gordon didn't make any bold predictions for the season, but she did touch on a handful of key Colts issues. Irsay-Gordon avoided picking a side in the most important position battle of training camp. Indianapolis either has established starters or a clear front-runner at almost every position on both sides of the ball, but the Colts still do not have a winner in the battle between incumbent Anthony Richardson and veteran import Daniel Jones. 'It's the very expensive question that everyone's wondering about,' Irsay-Gordon said. 'There's nothing that makes the good things rise to the surface better than competition, and having Daniel in there with Anthony, he obviously has more experience than Anthony. … They've each done well. They've also made mistakes.' Irsay-Gordon was asked directly what she thought of the two quarterbacks. But she left it up to the man who is ultimately responsible for the decision. 'Shane is going to have a tough decision to make,' Irsay-Gordon said. 'But I feel confident he's going to make the right decision.' Irsay-Gordon took over a Colts team with uncertainty at the top. Her father elected to keep Ballard and Steichen in their roles last offseason while acknowledging that the team's performance hasn't been good enough, placing implied pressure on the pairing to improve. Irsay-Gordon echoed that position in her introductory press conference, but she steered away from any ultimatums on their job security in Saturday's interview. 'We are so grateful to Chris and Shane, because if you're a head coach and you don't get along with your general manager, it's a total nightmare,' Irsay-Gordon said. 'The great thing about Chris and Shane is they don't always agree, but they discuss it, and I think they make better decisions because of it.' Irsay-Gordon could be seen as the tiebreaker in the event that Ballard and Steichen cannot come to an agreement. But she gently disputed that characterization, suggesting instead that it's her job to provide clarity for the framework of the problem in those cases. 'It's more like a question,' Irsay-Gordon said. Irsay-Gordon has spent years working with the coaching staff. One of the principles she's learned is a tenet that can be difficult for fans to grasp, that a team should focus more on its process than its results. A difficult pill for fans to swallow after four years without a playoff berth. 'Winning is just an outcome,' Irsay-Gordon said. 'You can have a not-great team and win some games; you can lose some games and be an amazing, Super Bowl team.' Improvement can come from a lot of different places. Irsay-Gordon outlined the team's decision to hire a new defensive coordinator as the product of trying to identify what went wrong in the team's 7-10 fiish a year ago. 'I love Gus (Bradley), but it was time to move on from Gus,' Irsay-Gordon said. Personnel moves makes headlines. Irsay-Gordon suggested she also supported Steichen's idea to change the tenor of training camp, injecting more scrimmages and situational work into the workouts. Irsay-Gordon believes the result has been one of the better camps the Colts have had. 'Part of the process is looking at the process we had,' Irsay-Gordon said. Irsay-Gordon has remained present on the sidelines so far in the preseason, a place she's occupied for a long time as she tries to learn the details of the position. '(Coaches), they're in charge of hundreds of millions of dollars of our human capital, that our family's investing in,' Irsay-Gordon said. 'Probably when we hired Chuck (Pagano) was when I first realized, being a part of that interview process, what goes into a coach's role. But honestly, behind the closed doors … it's been invaluable to sit in there.' Irsay-Gordon has always been careful to avoid making her presence intrusive. When she first came up with the idea, former Colts head coach Frank Reich supported it, and her father gave her one key piece of advice 'The one thing you have to do is you have to be here all the time,' Irsay-Gordon remembers her father saying. 'Because if you show up a week after we lose, and then you're not there after we win… You have to be there and be all-in.' Irsay-Gordon and her younger sister, Kalen Jackson, maintain a consistent presence in the building, unlike some NFL owners who prefer to be almost entirely hands off. 'We want to help,' Irsay-Gordon said. 'We want to be a resource to help everyone be successful."

'I'm very close': Colts coach Shane Steichen on choosing between Richardson and Jones
INDIANAPOLIS -- The end of the Colts quarterback competition sounds imminent. For the first time, Indianapolis head coach Shane Steichen acknowledged a decision is coming soon between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones. 'I'm very close,' Steichen said after the 23-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers in their second preseason game. 'I'll say that.' Steichen has said he will meet with general manager Chris Ballard and owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon before making the final choice between the two. 'I'd like to have a decision here shortly,' Steichen said. Jones started and played a quarter and a half as planning, completing 7-of-11 passes for 101 yards with no touchdowns, interceptions or sacks and a 93.4 quarterback rating.

10 Colts thoughts on Anthony Richardson vs. Daniel Jones, more from second preseason game
INDIANAPOLIS - Ten thoughts on the Colts' 23-19 loss the Packers in the second preseason game, at Lucas Oil Stadium: 1. This was set up to be the final showdown between Anthony Richardson Sr. and Daniel Jones for the starting quarterback job -- in theory. Ideally, the Colts would wrap this decision up this week ahead of a final preseason game when every team likes to rest its starters and use the reps to evaluate upcoming cuts for the 53-man roster. But the settings have made that increasingly difficult to pull off, as the Colts have started to lose some key members of their own, and the Packers decided to rest all of their starters as a team that is hoping to contend this season. It makes you squint, nitpick and take everything into context with Richardson and Jones -- but here we go: 2. Jones got the start, and it was a clunky start at that. He had a pass batted at the line, and then he tried a heave down the field that soared over Tyler Warren's head to result in a punt against the Packers' second team. He was stronger on the second drive, with a nice comeback throw to Michael Pittman Jr. and a strike to Warren close to the sideline. Both were well-placed balls, though both players were schemed open pretty nicely, too. Jones finished 7 for 11 for 101 yards, no touchdowns, no turnovers and a 93.1 rating. It was mostly what Jones has been in his career: safe, fairly efficient, taking what's there and not creating what isn't. He's the floor in this competition. 3. Richardson was solid for the most part in his slightly more extended run. He finished 6 of 11 for 73 yards, no touchdowns and no turnovers, plus one carry for nine yards. But the numbers didn't tell the full story. Richardson actually hit one of those deep balls we've been needing to see, when he uncorked a rainbow that allowed Anthony Gould to run under it with his trademark speed, just the way the two connected with beauty on the same concept in Thursday's joint practice. Except this time, Adonai Mitchell lined up offsides to wipe that gain out. 4. Richardson wasn't perfect, as he had another throw wiped out due to a penalty, but that's because he threw the run-pass-option design too late, even with Ashton Dulin schemed open early into the flats. That resulted in Matt Goncalves releasing from the line to get down the field the way it's taught with the run option, and Goncalves threw his arms up in frustration. Richardson also threw too far on a swing pass to DJ Giddens, though an on-target pass might have been a hospital ball with the linebacker closing out of zone coverage. What we did see was mostly quick decisions, safe passes, good zip and overall strong velocity, with a flash of the scrambling and the deep ball. Richardson's the ceiling play in this battle, but he showed a little better floor in this one, too. 5. I was curious, as I always am, to see if Jones can show off more of the deep ball he says he's confident he has inside of him. He got a chance on the very first series, when Tyler Warren broke easily open on a flag route along the right sideline. But this time, Jones soared it over his head. 6. It isn't an arm strength question with Jones, necessarily; he isn't going to match Anthony Richardson's 65-yard lofts because nobody can, but he has enough physically at 6-foot-4 to get the ball as far as it needs to go a lot of times, as he showed here. But he seems reticent to use it enough that he often decides late to do so, and that's when we see back-foot lofts that become back-shoulder fade balls and some like that Warren pass that just get away from him. 7. The injuries have been a concern on this team, and that concern only grew after the starters took the field for a quarter against Green Bay. First, left tackle Bernhard Raimann was sporting a sleeve on his leg and didn't start with the rest of the line. He was getting that leg stretched out during Thursday's joint practice. Then the other tackle, Braden Smith, exited with a groin injury and was immediately ruled out. That means, as of right now, the Colts are down their two starting tackles and two of their three starting wide receivers. And the offense was supposed to be the healthier side of the ball. 8. Given that injury situation, which was plenty present entering the game, I'm surprised that Jonathan Taylor saw action in this game and that Giddens saw such a workload after he went out and Giddens was the only healthy running back who has a chance to make the roster. It's a give-and-take in the preseason and especially when trying to gain a real evaluation of these quarterbacks, but I'd treat running back as interchangeable in these settings given how frequently injuries and just natural wear and tear set in at that spot. 9. Mitchell was flagged for lining up offsides to wipe out Richardson's best throw of the day on a fade to Anthony Gould. It's the kind of mistake he can't make no matter what highlights he puts up in the practices. There's just a details and focus element to the job when the games are real and the pressure is on that has evaded him since the Colts took him in the second round a year ago. It was his second penalty of the game, with the other a clear holding when he was out of position to wipe out a good run play. He'll get his opportunities with any injury to Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce or Josh Downs, and currently two are hurt. But the time to build trust with consistent delivery is right now. 10. The kicker battle is over. We essentially knew that when special teams coordinator Brian Mason announced this week that Spencer Shrader would take all the kicks in this preseason game, and that Maddux Trujillo was going to get run in the Bengals game in order to build his reel for the league. But if there was any doubt after Shrader missed an extra point in the joint practice, he put forth his best effort to squashing that in the game. Shrader hit field goals of 25, 29, 32 and 56 yards. The latter is the type of showcase that can win a job to replace Matt Gay, who was released because his premium salary no longer fit the struggles he was displaying from long range. Time will tell how this goes. The Colts decided to try to answer this problem with bargain buys this offseason, partly in the ideology of going for it on more fourth downs. But it also could be a team that lives on the margins coming off an 8-9 season.
