Which accounting tasks AI genuinely handles, which need dedicated software, and which you should not hand over at all. No vendor pitch attached.
Writer and builder
Dhaval W
Dhaval builds software that sits next to AI tools for a living, including Site to PDF, a Chrome extension that keeps a documentation library current so an AI agent can read it. He writes here about the AI he actually uses: what the free tiers really give you, where the models fall over, and which of this week's announcements changes anything. Nothing on this site is written from a press release.
