# Welcome to Erstan

> Erstan is an AI agent platform for NetSuite finance and operations — chat, build agents, and act on your data with approvals.

Erstan puts AI agents to work on your NetSuite finance operations — drafting, analyzing, and acting on your data, with you in control of every change. It is built for the people who run finance and operations on NetSuite: AR and AP clerks, controllers, accountants, and the workspace admins who set them up.

## The big idea

Erstan connects to your own NetSuite account and lets AI agents read and act on your data — overdue invoices, AR aging, vendor bills, sales orders, SuiteQL results, and more. Agents draft and propose, but anything that writes back to NetSuite pauses for you first.

<Info>
  Agents act with **your** NetSuite role and permissions through **per-user authorization**, and every write follows a **write policy** you control. You approve each change before it runs — nothing happens to your ERP behind your back.

## What you can do with Erstan

* **Chat with your data** — ask "Show me overdue invoices over \$10,000" or "Summarize AR aging by customer" and get answers grounded in your NetSuite account.
* **Draft outreach and documents** — have an agent draft a collections email or a reporting memo, then review it before anything is sent.
* **Build agents that act** — create an [Assistant, Workforce, or Automation](/agents/overview) that reconciles, triages vendor bills, or flags exceptions.
* **Install ready-made help** — add an AR collections or accounts payable agent from the [Marketplace](/marketplace/overview) instead of building from scratch.
* **Intake documents** — OCR a quote or bill and turn it into structured NetSuite data (see the [OCR quote intake](/developers/netsuite-ocr-quote-intake) example).
* **Query with SuiteQL** — let Erstan write and run read-only [SuiteQL](/playbooks/reporting-suiteql) and open the results in [Canvas](/chat/canvas).
* **Review and approve** — every agent run becomes a [task](/tasks/overview) that moves through Queued → In Progress → Needs Review → Complete, with [approvals](/chat/approvals) on any write.

## How the pieces fit

A [Connector](/connectors/overview) gives agents access to a system like NetSuite. An [Agent](/agents/overview) does the work using [Skills](/skills/overview) and tools. Its output shows up as [Tasks](/tasks/overview) you can track, and any change to NetSuite waits for your [approval](/chat/approvals). [Teams](/teams/overview) keep each group's agents, content, and tasks together inside your [workspace](/admin/workspaces-people).

<Note>
  Erstan is in **Beta** and access is waitlist-gated. Some surfaces are limited to **Owners and admins** — those are called out where they appear.
