At a glance

Vibooks' author separates a local double-entry bookkeeping core from the AI agent that reads documents, suggests classifications, and operates HTTP APIs; the post explicitly retains accounting judgment and tax filing outside the app. This workflow is listed under life, small-business-bookkeeping, local-first.

Prompt excerpt

Install the documented local bookkeeping application and connect an existing coding agent to its HTTP interface in a test company. Provide sample receipts, invoices, and statements and request proposed classifications with references. Check balanced entries and reconciliation reports with an accountant before applying the workflow to production records.
