What it does

A clear daily picture of trading, written for people who don't want to open a spreadsheet. The Warranty Reserve Calculator agent is the specialist for this job: calculates warranty provisions and protection-plan revenue recognition from claims history.

Who it's for

Your team. It runs in the console for your staff and through the REST API. It is a team agent, so it is never exposed to shoppers.

Questions it answers

Ask it in any of our languages, for example:

• "Calculate our warranty reserve by category"
• "How much Care+ revenue should we recognise per month?"
• "Which categories have rising claim costs?"

The live demo shows these as sample prompts in your language, on a fictional store's data.

How it works

1. It understands the question in the language it was written in, even when your catalog is in another language.
2. It looks things up with tools, never from memory:

• Warranty_stats

3. It answers from your data, in your brand voice and currency, and shows which tools it used.
4. Rules stay in code. Prices, eligibility and permissions come from your data and settings; the agent explains them and can't invent them. Why this matters.

The data it needs

Warranty & repair claims, Orders, Order lines, Products. As soon as these tables are loaded, the agent is ready to switch on. Files can use your own column names: they're mapped automatically. See Connect your data.

Works well with

• Daily Trading Summary: Summarises sales, units and mix for the latest period vs the prior one.
• Rolling Forecast Updater: Updates the revenue forecast from the latest monthly trading and explains what changed.
• Revenue Bridge: Explains why revenue moved between two periods: volume, price and category mix, with the biggest drivers.
• Budget Builder: Builds a sales budget by month and category from history, seasonality and your growth target.
• Internal Audit Sampler: Selects audit samples of orders and refunds by risk and tells auditors what to check on each.

Your team can use them side by side in the console, or call each one through the API.

Turn it on

1. Load the data it needs.
2. Install Warranty Reserve Calculator from the Agent catalog and add your own instructions (guide).
3. Test it in the Playground, in every language you serve.
4. Invite your team or call it from your own systems.
