AI & 2025 Predictions

Hector and Alicia explore the three dimensions of artificial intelligence in accounting: retail AI (like chatbots), API-based AI (integrated into software), and behind-the-scenes AI (machine learning and data insights). They discuss how AI is already transforming accounting workflows and make bold predictions for 2025, including the emergence of AI agents and potential disruption to QuickBooks' market dominance. The conversation delves into practical applications of AI for accountants, from generating custom sample files to automating complex tasks through always-on AI agents.SponsorsCoefficient - https://uqb.promo/coefficientRoboDebit - https://uqb.promo/robodebit Redmond Academy - https://uqb.promo/redmond(00:00) - Welcome to the Unofficial QuickBooks Accountants Podcast (01:25) - Retail AI: Chatbots and Accessibility (02:03) - API-Based AI: Middleware and Integration (04:52) - Behind-the-Scenes AI: Machine Learning and Data Insights (06:25) - AI in Software Development (13:57) - AI Predictions for 2025 (23:49) - Always-On AI and AI Agents (37:46) - Future of AI in Accounting Software (43:26) - Conclusion and Future Plans Send your Questions/Comments (we could read/answer them on air) [email protected]/Apps Mentioned in this episode:Lean more about Alicia's QuickBooks Training http://learn.royalwise.comHector's App - RightTool www.righttool.appReframe 2025 Conference https://reframe2025.com/Sign up to Earmark to earn free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/onboarding
