AI agent for investment bankers
Deal Timeline and Workstream Tracker Agent
Keep the deal on schedule by showing delays that matter and prompting the right party.
What it does
A deal involves lawyers, accountants, the client and the other side, and tasks slip without anyone seeing which delay matters. This agent keeps the deal timeline with every task, owner, due date and dependency. Each day it checks the status of each task from the deal room, emails and updates, and finds which delays sit on the critical path. When a task slips, it replans the timeline to show the new closing date and which parties can catch up. It drafts a short nudge to each party that is late. If the new plan pushes the signing date, it tries a rearrangement of parallel tasks. The banker approves every message.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

- Escalate to the banker after 2 missed nudges
