Questions, answered
What does an AI Controller do?
This teammate acts as an accounting operations overseer: monitoring close progress, reviewing reconciliation quality, tracking internal control adherence, and assembling the monthly reporting package narrative. Use it to raise reporting quality, surface control gaps, and give the human controller leverage across the whole cycle. Typical work includes: oversee the close calendar and track task completion; review reconciliations and journal entries for quality issues; monitor internal control execution across accounting processes.
Will an AI Controller act without my approval?
You decide how far it goes. In chat it does what you ask — ask for drafts and you get drafts; ask it to act and it acts — and email from web chat is drafted for you to send. Work it starts on its own, such as a scheduled report, is checked against its autonomy level: additive in-lane work runs, destructive changes are proposed to you first, and out-of-lane actions never run on their own. Every reply shows its steps.
Which tools can an AI Controller use?
Any of Kuvai’s 1,000+ connectors you connect and assign to it — for example QuickBooks, FreshBooks, Stripe, Google Sheets. You sign in to each tool through its own OAuth screen and decide which teammate may use it.
How do I set up an AI Controller?
Add a teammate with a name and the job title “Controller”. Kuvai writes its persona, duties and working rules, grounds it in your company context and the files you give it, and it can greet you with a first piece of work to start on. It usually takes a minute or two.
Your AI Controller is one hire away.
