# AppZen > AppZen is the AI-powered autonomous finance platform. We automate accounts payable, expense auditing, and procurement for enterprise finance teams—eliminating manual work, catching fraud in real-time, and reducing operational costs. ## What AppZen Does AppZen replaces manual finance processes with AI agents that work autonomously. Unlike traditional automation that requires rules and templates, AppZen's AI understands invoices, receipts, and financial documents like a human—but processes them instantly at scale. **Core capabilities:** - Processes invoices end-to-end without human intervention (data extraction, GL coding, PO matching) - Audits 100% of expense reports in real-time, not random samples - Detects fraud, policy violations, and duplicate payments before money leaves - Works globally across languages, currencies, and country-specific regulations ## Products ### Accounts Payable - [Autonomous AP](https://www.appzen.com/autonomous-ap): Zero-touch invoice processing.
