AI just got better with Perk. ✨ We’re the first AI-native travel and spend platform to let your AI assistant book travel, file expenses, and even tell you what the marketing team spent on that off-site they told you was business-critical last month. Meet Perk MCP. Book and modify flights, hotels, cars and trains. Create team events. Upload receipts. Approve expenses. Run reports. Connect it to your daily workflows. All from the AI assistant you already use. Your AI now has access to Perk and can act on it too, making it smarter than ever and removing even more shadow work from your plate.

There's a gap between AI that's connected to your data and AI that's allowed to act on it. Most companies stop at the first one. Not Perk. Today, your AI assistant can book a flight, approve a trip, submit an expense, or create an event, not just answer questions about them. We're the first travel and spend platform to bring all of that together through a single MCP, running on one data layer across travel, spend, invoicing, and events Every action is scoped to exactly what that person could already do in Perk. Anything out of policy still goes through the same approval flow it always has. This is what AI-native infrastructure is supposed to do: not just connect to your data it, without ever loosening your controls. Learn more about Perk MCP: https://lnkd.in/drshnXFx

For the last couple of years, a lot of companies have been putting a chat interface on top of their product and calling it AI. At Perk we kept focusing on building AI into the foundation of our platform to deliver what’s most important to customers. The best travel inventory, strong controls, travel and spend working properly together, and technology that understands how a company works. Turns out that was the right bet. AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT are quickly becoming where people want to get their work done. And because we built the hard stuff first, they can now do a lot more than answer questions. Today with Perk MCP you can use AI assistants to book and manage travel, approve a trip, submit an expense and create a team event. We’re the first AI-native travel and spend platform to bring all of that together through a single MCP. Now your AI assistant doesn’t just know Perk, but it can act through it, giving you the best of Perk right where you already work and removing even more shadow work along the way. I think AI gets really interesting when it starts doing the shadow work for you. More on Perk MCP: https://lnkd.in/eRXsSE9v

AI at Perk just got a lot more powerful. MCP for reading travel and spend information was good but, taking action is what the travellers and admin really want and we became the first one in the world to deliver it. I don’t know what the future interface of Travel and Spend will be. Will it be centralized with Claude or ChatGPT and natural language or will it be part of the workflow directly from Apps like Salesforce, Slack or HiBob? What I am certain about is that whatever UX preferences our customers will have, we want them to be able to access all the power of Perk in any way they choose to. This is what this new release allows them to do. We're now the first AI-native travel and spend platform to bring travel booking and modifications, approvals, expense submission, and event creation together into a single MCP. Book a flight, hotel, car. Approve your team's next trip to New York. Submit an expense. Set up the offsite in Lisbon. And more. All from the same AI assistant you already use, whether it's Claude, ChatGPT, or whatever else your team runs on. AI is most useful when it moves work forward and helps you focus on what you do best. Cut out the work that was never the job, and what’s left is more room for the client call, the decision, the people who need you.

It’s been an awesome summer at Perk, with many firsts! ☀️ Earlier this summer we launched Perk MCP, so users can get better insights. But we know that it’s not just about insights, it’s about taking meaningful actions. And now you can do just that, no matter what AI tool your team is using: book your next flight to Boston, approve your team's trip to London, submit your expenses for that conference in SF, or create your next team event! The goal is simple: help our users take action in the tools they're using most, while enabling businesses to keep the control and guardrails they need, regardless of which tool their teams choose to work in. I'm proud of our team, and there's so much more to come! 🍂 More on Perk MCP: https://lnkd.in/eZTxaaPX

AI has already changed how finance teams work. Pulling a report used to take an afternoon, and now it takes seconds. Analysis that used to take hours can happen in minutes. But the real shift happens when AI stops being something you go to for an answer and starts doing the work for you. That’s what we’re doing with Perk MCP. Yes, you can ask Claude to find what your team spent last quarter, or ask ChatGPT how many trip requests are out-of-policy. But we’ve turned that same assistant into something that can act on these questions. Approve your team’s trips and expenses. Match receipts to transactions. Generate a spend report. Send an out-of-policy expense back. All while the same policies, permissions and approval flows you already have in Perk stay in place. For finance teams, that’s where AI starts to get really interesting. Not another tool to manage but fewer steps between a question, a decision and an action. The chasing, the approving, the checking, all the steps in between, are starting to disappear too. Your travel and spend data is already in one place, and now your AI assistant can act on it directly. That’s how you unlock more real work. More on Perk MCP: https://lnkd.in/epK3sRUm
