Short answer

How can I track my cash flow using an AI agent?

Your agent uses Sage Accounting tools to pull current bank balances and ledger details. You can ask for specific transaction updates or total liquidity at any time. This gives you a clear view of your available funds.

Where your data lands.

Real-time financial visibility.

The AI pulls information from your accounts to provide these specific outcomes.

LIQUIDITY

Instant balance checks

The AI pulls current totals from your bank accounts. You get a snapshot of available cash immediately.

ACTIVITY

Recent transaction tracking

Your agent looks at ledger activity to show you what just moved. You can spot incoming or outgoing payments quickly.

OVERSIGHT

Ledger account monitoring

The AI scans your ledger accounts to help you track specific categories. This makes finding specific line items easier.

HUMAN

Manual entries required

The AI only reads your data. You still handle all manual entries, corrections, or bank reconciliations in Sage yourself.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The agent acts as a bridge between your chat interface and your Sage records.

  1. Identify accounts

    The agent first finds all the bank accounts linked to your Sage profile.
