Meet Managerbot:

Square’s New AI-Powered Business Agent


Running a business means making decisions all day long. What needs your attention? Which items are running low? Are labor costs where they should be? Did yesterday’s sales meet expectations?

The answers may already be inside your business data, but finding them often means pulling reports, adjusting filters, comparing numbers, and knowing exactly what to look for.

Square’s new Managerbot is designed to change that.


Important Information Without the Report Hunting

The Next Evolution of Square AI

Square AI gave business owners a faster way to understand their data. Instead of searching through reports, sellers could ask questions in everyday language and receive direct answers about sales, customers, employees, inventory, and more.

Managerbot builds on those capabilities.

It can still answer questions about your business, but it no longer has to wait for you to ask. Managerbot continuously monitors different areas of your operation, surfaces important insights, identifies potential problems, and recommends actions you may want to take.

Think of it as an intelligent business assistant built directly into Square Dashboard.


From Answering Questions to Taking Action

A business owner could ask Managerbot questions such as:

  • How did yesterday’s sales compare with last week?

  • Which items are selling more slowly than usual?

  • Are labor costs increasing at any of my locations?

  • Which regular customers have not visited recently?

  • Could any of my current inventory run out soon?

Managerbot can analyze the relevant information and provide a direct answer. More importantly, it can help determine what to do next.

For example, it may identify regular customers who have not returned recently and suggest a targeted marketing campaign. It could then draft the campaign for the owner to review, edit, and approve.

Instead of simply presenting more data, Managerbot helps turn that information into a practical next step.


Important Information Without the Report Hunting

One of Managerbot’s most valuable differences is its ability to work proactively.

It can surface daily sales and labor insights without requiring the owner to pull a report. It can flag a potential inventory shortage before an item runs out or identify a catalog problem before a customer encounters it.

Save time without handing over control.

For owners managing multiple locations, Managerbot can provide performance information across the entire business in one place. That means less time checking individual reports, calling managers, or trying to piece together what happened the previous day.

The goal is not to give business owners more information to sort through. It is to bring the right information to their attention when it matters.


The Business Owner Remains in Control

Managerbot can recommend actions and prepare work, but the seller makes the final decision.

Square has built the tool around a simple principle: Managerbot proposes, and the seller approves. An action requiring execution must be reviewed and approved before it is completed.

That allows owners to save time without handing over control of their business decisions.


Built Into the Square Ecosystem

Because Managerbot is built into Square Dashboard, it can work with the information already moving through a seller’s Square account.

That connected view allows it to recognize relationships between sales, labor, inventory, customers, marketing, and other parts of the business. Instead of looking at each area separately, Managerbot can help owners understand how different decisions may affect the operation as a whole.
