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?
Explanation written from the Deline app's own screens and texts (build eba146497 (Deline cf723fe1f)); it has no steps to check.
