Top Highlights from Inspire 2026

What an incredible week at our biggest event of the year! Our sold-out event was all about the Network Effect, showcasing how our community, our data, and our expanding fleet of AI agents work together to make autonomous procurement a reality. We aren’t just dreaming about the future — Navi™ agents and human co-workers are already teaming up to empower the workforce and drive smarter spend.

To make this impact tangible, we shared a powerful benchmark: while customers using our platform end-to-end already save an average of $30-$40 million for every $1 billion spent, agentic AI is a complete game-changer. With digital agents fueled by $10 trillion in community spend data, we estimate those savings can double — to as much as $60-$80 million for every billion spent.

Here are the top highlights from the week.

Coupa Compose: Your new digital teammates

We launched Coupa Compose, a new product bundle that gives you the tools to build, manage, and connect digital agents within the Coupa platform.

This is a toolkit for the future of work that includes:

• Navi™ Agent Studio: Create and customize agents that fit your specific needs.
• Intake & Orchestration: Manage requests from your team and guide tasks through the right steps and systems.
• Navi™ Connect: Ensure that all of your digital agents can collaborate and work together seamlessly.

To see exactly how the shift from simple requests to automated action works, check out our new e-book: From Intake to Activation: The New Architecture of Agentic Procurement.

Coupa + Rossum: Advancing Autonomous Spend Management

Furthering our commitment to Autonomous Spend Management, Coupa announced its acquisition of Rossum, with a purpose-built, AI-first architecture that makes manual paperwork a thing of the past. It is the sensory layer for digital agents with transactional intelligence that is powered by a proprietary domain-specific model trained on tens of millions of documents, continuously learning from each customer's unique document set to accelerate time-to-value. With Rossum joining the Coupa family, we’re helping your team skip tedious data entry while uncovering hidden savings like early payment discounts.

DevCon: Empowering builders

This year, we hosted our first-ever DevCon, a sold-out conference track specifically for developers. It was a week of deep dives and hands-on learning, where the focus was on building and implementing AI agents on our platform. Bringing the builders together ensures the next generation of procurement technology remains creative and backed with expertise.

New partnerships to grow our community

Expanding how we work with industry leaders, both Celonis and Thomson Reuters have joined Coupa as elite partners.

• Celonis: Brings starter kits to our App Marketplace. These process intelligence tools amp up the knowledge for digital agents, providing clear understanding of how your business runs so they can assess risk and find savings.
• Thomson Reuters: Provides expanded global tax support and smarter invoice handling to keep your business compliant everywhere you operate.

Smarter insights with more proactive tools

And we have more to come, with several major innovations coming over the next year:

• Coupa Spend Pulse: Formerly Control Tower, this AI-powered hub watches market signals and your data to automatically alert you when it’s time to take action.
• Domain-Specific Language Model (DSLM): We’re building a specialized AI that understands the specific language of procurement, using our nearly $10 trillion in community spend data.
• Supplier Marketplace: A new tool that helps you find the right supplier matches and delivers bids that are formatted and ready to go.
• CLM Agent: A digital helper that makes managing contracts easier by automatically tracking risks and obligations.
