232 | Using AI in Bookkeeping

AI is changing the bookkeeping game, but it's not replacing us anytime soon.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on Xero's built-in AI feature, JAX (Just Ask Xero), and walking you through exactly how we're testing it inside our own firm before rolling it out to clients. From auto bank reconciliation to creating invoices via conversation, there are some genuinely cool time-saving features here, but there's still a lot you need to be doing yourself.In this episode you’ll hear:How JAX works inside XeroWhat security and data privacy measures are in placeHow the auto bank reconciliation feature worksHow JAX can look up vendor information from the web while you're coding transactionsHow to use JAX to create invoices, pull up open invoices, and even build quotesResources mentioned in this episode:Xero :https://xeroamericas.partnerlinks.io/79afz10exu7dJAX Article: https://central.xero.com/s/article/About-Just-Ask-Xero-JAX-AUXero’s data commitment: https://www.xero.com/us/data/Xero Playlist → https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvpVbZsrj-tXq1nN53z162JbTwGeH3GPfThanks for listening.
