What can the AI assistant do in Deline?

The AI assistant reads your records and reports, and prepares work for you: invoice, quote and customer drafts, bill and journal drafts, tasks and other changes. It never posts, pays, sends or deletes on its own. Anything that creates or changes a record waits for you to confirm it.

What can it read?

  • Customers, invoices, quotes, products and services in the business, and a summary such as how much is unpaid or overdue.
  • Reports from your books: profit and loss, balance sheet, trial balance, ageing, and whether a foreign-currency month-end is complete. It quotes the books' own amounts and does not recalculate them.
  • What your business has sent to the books, and what is waiting or was refused, with the reason.
  • Your What you file table, to answer which tax returns usually apply to you and when.
  • Earlier chats in this business and the notes it was asked to remember.
  • Deline's own guides, and how to export data from your old program.

What can it prepare?

  • Create invoice draft, Create customer, Create quote draft and Save product or service: each shows a card first. With a new customer, Create all saves the customer and the invoice draft together.
  • Other changes the app can make, such as issuing or sending an invoice, recording a payment, setting reminders, matching a bank line or a recurring schedule: a card asks "Should the app do this now?" and nothing happens until you press Confirm.
  • A journal draft that is not posted. You post it in Journals.
  • A supplier bill draft for you to check, approve and post in Bills. A new supplier is only added with your confirmation: Create supplier and bill draft.
  • A new task, or a change to a task, for you to confirm in Tasks.

What does it not do?

  • Post, pay, send or delete: Never. "Always a person's action, with its own confirmation. The agent has no tools for these."
  • It does not guess tax treatment or invent tax IDs, and it does not file anything with a tax office.
  • It only does what your role and the owner's settings in Settings → Your agent allow.

Where do I find it?

On the AI page, and in the Agent panel on every screen. Starter buttons such as Prepare an invoice, Enter a bill or This month's profit give it a first task.

If something goes wrong

  • "Your current role can view this workspace. An owner or editor can use the agent to prepare new records.": a viewer can look but not prepare.
  • "The agent is not switched on for this workspace yet. An administrator setting is needed before it can answer."
  • "You've used today's AI allowance. Your agent is back when it resets.": see Why did the AI assistant stop answering?
