The Villanova Knicks showed what happens when talented specialists operate with years of shared context. The future of procurement AI may depend less on building better agents and more on helping them coordinate.

Sounds great, but before you start building, it's worth understanding what production-scale agent systems actually require.

An inside look at the operating model emerging behind AI-native supply chains, where routine execution runs autonomously and human attention is reserved for the decisions that matter most.

The 2026 procurement and supply chain conference season is well underway. We’ve been in a lot of rooms and, across organisations of different sizes, sectors, and geographies, a clear pattern is emerging. Not from the stage, but from what procurement leaders say is actually happening inside their teams. Here’s what keeps coming up.

Procurement is under more pressure than ever: more workload, more expectations, and little headcount growth to match. AI is emerging as the structural answer, shifting teams from doing the work themselves to managing systems that do it for them. The teams moving first won’t just be more efficient - they’ll operate on an entirely different level.

Before Didero, there was Diderot - and a radical idea about where knowledge lives. This is the story behind the name.

Procurement teams have spent two decades mastering enterprise software implementations. Long rollouts, deep integrations, department-wide training. Agentic AI makes most of that obsolete. Here's what to stop doing, and why.

AGC Chemicals Americas was just featured in Supply Chain World for their journey to a fully automated supply chain - and they cited Didero as a key part of that transformation.

We are excited to announce our $30 million Series A financing round to empower procurement teams looking to autonomously execute many of the mundane, repetitive tasks that consume 70% of their time. The investment was co-led by Chemistry and Headline, with participation from M12, Microsoft’s Venture Fund.

Coming out of our 2025 voice of the customer outreach, we heard some interesting feedback that took us by surprise. In response to the question: “What are Didero’s top three value propositions?” We heard a lot of, and I’m paraphrasing, “Didero was our very first foray into agentic AI. You were a low-risk on-ramp for us.” The insights we gathered from their follow-on commentary could serve as a guidepost for companies looking to adopt agentic AI for the first time.
