# What is Porcia?

> Porcia is your AI agent for software intelligence — it discovers your stack, tracks real usage, and drafts negotiations. You stay in control.

# What is Porcia?

Porcia is your AI agent for software intelligence. It discovers every tool your team uses, tracks who's actually using what, and drafts data-backed negotiations for your approval — automatically, continuously, without spreadsheets.

Most teams don't know their full software stack. Porcia does.

## The Problem

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="You don't know what's running" icon="eye-slash">
    Shadow IT is everywhere. Teams spin up tools without IT knowing. Your stack is bigger than you think.
  </Card>

  <Card title="You're paying for waste" icon="money-bill-wave">
    Unused licenses, duplicate tools, forgotten trials. The waste compounds quietly every month.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Everything is scattered" icon="chart-line">
    Renewals in email. Contracts in Slack. Prices in spreadsheets. No single source of truth.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Renewals catch you off guard" icon="handshake">
    Vendors auto-renew while you're busy. Without market data, you're negotiating blind.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## How Porcia Works

Porcia operates in three phases — deploy once, benefit continuously.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Phase 1: Discovery">
    Your agent finds everything — every subscription (including forgotten ones), shadow IT, who's using what, contracts, renewals, and pricing. Complete discovery in 24 hours.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Phase 2: Intelligence">
    Your agent analyzes usage patterns, identifies waste and redundancy, benchmarks your pricing against the market, and monitors continuously for changes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Phase 3: Action">
    Your agent drafts data-backed negotiation emails using your actual usage data and proven tactics. You review, edit, and approve before anything reaches a vendor.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Porcia is built with human-in-the-loop design. Your agent does the research and drafting — you make every decision. Nothing is sent to a vendor without your explicit approval.
</Info>

## How Porcia Discovers Your Stack

Porcia uses two complementary discovery methods to build a complete picture:

**Email Intelligence**
Forward vendor emails to your unique Porcia address. The agent automatically extracts vendor details, costs, renewal dates, and price changes in real time.

**SSO Discovery**
Connect Azure AD, Google Workspace, or Okta. Porcia discovers every application your team accesses and tracks user-level usage — covering the majority of your stack in the first sync.

<Info>
  Financial integrations (Brex, Ramp, QuickBooks, Xero) are coming soon for even more complete spend visibility.
