Sequence

FINANCE
Velocity7.5

Sequence is wiring an agentic layer onto billing, with humans reviewing every AI-prepared change.

◆Current state
Sequence is a billing, CPQ, and revenue platform that has paired steady finance-workflow features with a distinct agent-native push. Recent releases mix operational depth (Xero journal posting control, Stripe payment retries, CPQ renewals as schedule phases) with AI-forward moves: an AR Agent that triages billing requests and an MCP endpoint exposing billing data to external agents.
◆Where it's heading
The direction is clear: turn Sequence into a system an AI agent can both drive and act within, while keeping a human-in-the-loop review gate (Watchtower) on anything that changes customer state. The conventional integration work (Anrok tax, GoCardless, Stripe, Xero) builds the reliable substrate that the agent features operate on.
◆Prediction
Expect the AR Agent and MCP surface to expand into more billing actions, all routed through Watchtower review, while the integration roster keeps widening to cover more of the quote-to-cash stack.

◆Recent moves

  1. 25d ago

    Xero journal post mode

    Finance teams get control over when recognition journals post to Xero, a specific ask from accounting-sensitive customers. Reinforces the reliable-integration substrate underneath the agent work.

  2. 27d ago

    CPQ renewals

    Renewals can be issued straight from a quote and appended as a new phase on the existing billing schedule rather than a separate one, keeping a contract in one place. A meaningful CPQ-to-billing continuity improvement.

  3. 27d ago

    Stripe payment retries

    Failed Stripe payments on invoices can now be retried automatically with configurable behavior, so overdue invoices get a second attempt without manual work. Part of the collections-automation push alongside dunning.

  4. 28d ago

    Anrok Integration

    An Anrok integration calculates and applies sales tax in real time, broken out as line items with errors surfaced in Watchtower for review. Extends the integration substrate and reuses the same human-review gate as the agent features.

    AR Agent

    ⚡ SPARK

    The AR Agent forwards customer billing requests to a dedicated inbox where an agent interprets and validates them, then prepares a Watchtower task for human approval before any change is made. This is the operational half of Sequence's agent-native bet, sitting on top of the MCP surface.

    Sequence MCP

    ⚡ SPARK

    Sequence MCP lets any MCP-compatible agent (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT) query invoices, schedules, customers, pricing, and revenue in natural language over OAuth 2.0, with a built-in prompt library. It is the read/interface foundation the AR Agent builds on.
