AI
Work with AI safely in Bkper — understand the model, choose the right tool, and keep financial outputs reviewable.
AI can help draft transactions, answer questions, build scripts, and prepare review work. Bkper keeps the source of truth in zero-sum Books: every transaction moves resources from one Account to another, balances are calculated from records, and events preserve review history.

Safety rule
Raw AI output is not final for balances, statements, reconciliations, taxes, or filing decisions. Use AI to draft, organize, explain, and build tools. Let Bkper records, deterministic checks, and human review carry the final financial answer.
