Coupa Launches Coupa Compose to Help Enterprises Build and Manage AI Agent Digital Workforces

Las Vegas, Nevada, May 12, 2026 - Coupa, a leading platform for Autonomous Spend Management, today announced the launch of Coupa Compose, a major milestone for enterprise AI. The new service provides a comprehensive environment for building, managing, and orchestrating a “digital workforce” of AI agents, fundamentally transforming how work is done across sourcing, procurement, finance, and supply chain operations. Coupa is also adopting an outcome-based pricing model and will strongly support customers’ successful adoption of agentic AI through Coupa Catalyst, backed by FDEs, or Forward Deployed Engineers dedicated to solving challenges directly at customer sites, and solution architects. Coupa CEO Leagh Turner said: “Coupa’s AI is fundamentally different from anything else in the market. Unlike companies that are bolting AI onto legacy systems, we have a single platform that can scale data, workflows, and agents under governance. This architecture, built on 10 trillion dollars of spend data, is why we can call ourselves AI-native. We are helping organizations build a digital workforce in which AI controls and executes work on behalf of humans at an unprecedented scale. Now is the time to use agentic AI to rebuild the future of work for the better.” Coupa Compose is the engine for Agentic-as-a-Service and represents a fundamental shift in business operations. With this integrated package, organizations can enable autonomous orchestration led by AI agents across the entire spend management process while maintaining full control over governance and outcomes. Navi Agent Studio, generally available from May, is the “command center” for modern enterprises. Using a no-code interface and natural language prompts, organizations can build and configure custom agents tailored to their business needs. It also supports agent activity monitoring and role-based access control. Smart Intake & Orchestration provides integrated control of native intelligence and acts as the single entry point for all requests and applications. It triggers the appropriate agents and systems, manages end-to-end processes, and prompts human intervention when needed. While keeping Coupa as the system of record, it enables agents to operate at every stage of the process. Navi Connect functions as the organization’s nervous system, preventing spend intelligence from becoming siloed. It connects with third-party agents and systems, enabling agent-to-agent communication and complex cross-system actions such as real-time ERP updates. Third-party integrations, MCP, and A2A connectivity are scheduled to become available in September 2026. Coupa has deployed more than 20 specialized agents across its platform, powered by intelligence derived from community data, to assist, advise, and execute. The May product release expands agents for sourcing event creation, bid comparison, risk monitoring, sanctions risk analysis, autonomous opportunity analysis, scenario ranking, and more. These capabilities deliver measurable outcomes, including a 40% reduction in configuration time and the discovery of hidden efficiency opportunities worth millions of dollars. Coupa Catalyst is a service designed to support AI-driven transformation. Coupa says the biggest barrier to AI adoption is not vision, but activation. Coupa Catalyst accelerates change management so agents and humans can coexist and optimize process efficiency and productivity. Through Catalyst, FDEs and consultants work closely with customers, providing expert resources to bridge the gap between product functionality and real AI value creation. This enables customers to move beyond technology deployment and quickly achieve business outcomes through process and organizational optimization.
