AI agent use cases: Finance & bookkeeping
3 sourced AI-agent runbooks for finance & bookkeeping: steps, starter prompts and guardrails.
Update a financial model and summarise the assumptions
The agent opens an existing spreadsheet model, adds projections with working formulas while keeping the formatting, and writes a summary of the assumptions it used.
Reconcile weekly expenses and chase missing receipts
Each week the bot builds an expense summary, matches receipts from the finance inbox, flags missing categories or policy breaks and drafts one follow-up per person.
Track the family budget by chatting on WhatsApp
A family logs spending by sending short WhatsApp messages to an agent, which files each expense into categories and answers questions like how much went on groceries this month.
