FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI design a brand new template from scratch?

    No. The AI can only use the templates available through the Docamatic tool.

  • 02

    Will the AI change my original JSON data?

    No. The AI only reads the data to build the PDF; it doesn't touch your source files.

  • 03

    Can the AI email the invoice to my customer?

    No. The AI generates the PDF file, but you have to send it yourself.

  • 04

    Does the AI handle the math for the invoice totals?

    The AI uses the numbers provided in your JSON. It doesn't perform independent calculations outside of what is in the data.

  • 05

    No. You are limited to the pre-built templates provided by the tool.
