Short answer

How can I automate carbon offset purchases with my AI?

Your AI uses Cloverly to estimate the emissions from a specific action and then executes a purchase to offset them. This keeps your carbon accounting up to date without manual math or separate checkout steps. You get a continuous loop of measurement and mitigation.

The results of automation

Where your carbon data lands.

Once connected, your AI manages these four areas.

COMPLIANCE

Instant carbon neutrality

The AI calculates the footprint of a new activity and buys the necessary offsets. You stay compliant with your carbon goals automatically.

DATA

Real-time emission logs

Every time an offset is bought, the data is recorded. You get a clean trail of what was emitted and what was neutralized.

DECISIONS

Human-in-the-loop control

You can instruct your AI to only suggest offsets for your review. This lets you approve specific projects before any money is spent.

REPORTS

Audit-ready records

The AI maintains the link between the activity and the purchase. This makes end-of-month reporting a non-event.

The workflow

What your AI does when an activity is logged.

The AI moves from calculation to execution using two specific tools.

  1. Calculate the footprint

    The AI looks at the activity details you provide and determines the total carbon impact.

    create_estimate

  2. Select offsets

    Based on the estimate, the AI identifies the right amount of carbon to neutralize.

    create_estimate

  3. Execute the purchase

    The AI completes the transaction to buy the offsets and neutralize the impact.

    create_purchase

  4. Confirm neutrality

    The AI verifies the purchase was successful and confirms the activity is now offset.

  • Calculate the carbon footprint for a 500-mile flight from JFK to LAX using Cloverly.

  • Based on my recent shipping logs in this spreadsheet, create an offset purchase for all emissions.

  • Estimate the emissions for our new manufacturing process and tell me how much it will cost to offset.

  • Check the estimate for this delivery and if it's under $50, go ahead and buy the offset.

FAQ

How the automation behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change my Cloverly account settings?

    No. The AI can only perform the specific actions allowed by the tools, which are estimating and purchasing.

  • 02

    Will the AI spend money without asking me?

    It depends on how you prompt it. If you tell it to 'buy the offset,' it will execute the purchase. If you ask it to 'estimate and suggest,' it will wait for your approval.

  • 03

    Does the AI handle the actual payment method?

    The AI uses the payment method already configured in your Cloverly account.

  • 04

    Can I use this to audit past emissions?

    The AI can use the tools to generate new estimates, but it cannot modify or delete historical transaction data in Cloverly.

  • 05

    What happens if the estimate is wrong?

    You must provide accurate activity data. The AI calculates based on the inputs it receives through the tools.
