Compliance is no longer just a back-office task, Avalara emphasizes. Scott McFarlane, CEO and Co-Founder, says, “With Avalara’s agentic solutions, our customers are cutting filing times from days to hours, reducing compliance risk, and freeing teams to focus on growth.” Avi is designed to observe, advise, and act, helping organizations streamline tax, duties, tariffs, and certification processes seamlessly.
For example, the Avi Browser Extension guides users interactively through ERP configurations and flags compliance actions on the spot, while Avi in Outlook automatically scans invoices, digitizes data, validates taxes, and integrates results into enterprise systems. These tools help businesses reduce processing costs, catch compliance risks early, and accelerate workflows.

Underpinning this agentic approach are Avalara’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, which form the backbone of an intelligent, interoperable compliance framework. These servers allow third-party agents and systems to easily connect, discover APIs, and embed Avalara’s compliance capabilities directly into broader enterprise workflows. Combined with enterprise LLMs, domain-specific SLMs, and Avalara’s expansive compliance content network, the platform is built to scale globally and reliably.
