Real AI for Real AP Teams: How to Bridge the Gap Between Vision and Reality

Yes, AI is transforming the finance function, but between bold promises and real-world impact, there’s often a gap. In this engaging, back-and-forth-style webinar, we’ll explore both sides of the coin: the vision of AI as described by CFOs, controllers, and technology leaders, and the reality of how AI is being applied today within accounts payable teams.

Join Vic.ai Co-founder and CEO Alexander Hagerup as he shares the future of finance and the accelerating role of AI in AP — how it promises to reduce costs, automate manual work, and empower teams to “do more with less.” Then we shift to the practical application: what this actually looks like for AP managers and teams today. What’s working? What’s challenging? What changes in workflows, skillsets, and outcomes?

You’ll also hear from an enterprise AP team that has embraced AI in their AP process. They'll share lessons learned, impact on the business, and what their team’s day-to-day looks like now.

Takeaways: Practical insights for AP leaders on how to close the gap between hype and implementation — and how to start using AI in a meaningful way for your team.
