## What Octopus AI Is

Octopus AI is a governed, deterministic AI layer for FP&A teams. It automates variance-commentary collection from budget owners and answers plain-language finance questions. Arithmetic runs as deterministic code, not model output. Octopus AI augments rather than replaces planning platforms like Anaplan.

## Who It Is For

FP&A Directors, VPs, and Heads of FP&A who run budget-vs-actual, rolling forecast, and variance processes.
