What it does

This agent prepares you for renewal negotiations by turning raw usage into a recommended seat count and a vendor-ready brief. Instead of renewing at last year's number, you walk in with evidence of true active usage and a defensible ask.

When to use it

Use it when contract renewals are scattered across the year and you want each one backed by data rather than guesswork. Best for tools where you pay per seat and usage drifts between renewals.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule checks the renewal calendar daily and triggers 45 days before any contract date.
  2. 2The agent queries Snowflake for active-user counts and usage trend over the contract term.
  3. 3It reasons over the data to recommend a seat count, identifying buffer for growth versus clear over-provisioning.
  4. 4It drafts a negotiation brief with current spend, active usage, and the recommended ask.
  5. 5It logs the recommendation to Airtable and emails the renewal brief to the IT owner via Gmail.
