ORO Labs Launches New Agentic AI Capabilities
SAN FRANCISCO — ORO Labs, a leading enterprise-grade intake management and procurement orchestration platform, unveiled new agentic AI capabilities that give procurement teams more control over how and where they apply automation.
The company stated that the launch introduces a no-code AI Agent Builder that allows teams to design and deploy their own agents with ease. Building on their existing portfolio, ORO has also released a new tranche of pre-built AI agents to speed up compliance processes and improve risk detection.
According to Sudhir Bhojwani, co-founder and CEO of ORO Labs, “At ORO, we believe the future of procurement isn’t just about adding AI — it’s about orchestrating a symphony of human and machine intelligence,” he said.

The latest tranche of AI agents is purpose-built to handle time-consuming risk and compliance tasks, including: risk reviews, fraud detection, global tax compliance, sustainability compliance, anti-bribery compliance, and legal reviews, stated ORO.
The company has also introduced a new intake management agent that recommends opportunities for autonomous negotiation.

MIAMI, Fla. — Vallor, an AI-agent platform that puts procurement contracts on autopilot, announced an oversubscribed $4 million seed round to accelerate its mission of saving enterprises time and money by giving procurement teams the tools to eliminate manual tasks and focus on strategic, high-value work.

The company stated that Vallor uses AI agents to extract unstructured data, surface risks, track obligations, and deliver insights from contracts, many that have sat untouched for years.
