Connect your AI agentBeta

Talk to your books in plain English

Connect KiwiBooks to your AI assistant once, then just ask. Snap a receipt and say “record this,” drop in a bank statement, or ask “how much did I make this year?” Your assistant does the bookkeeping and KiwiBooks keeps the records.

What you can do with it

Record receipts by talking

Your assistant reads the receipt and saves the expense with the photo attached. No typing.

Import a bank statement

Hand over a statement and it adds the transactions for you.

Ask about your money

"What did I spend on software?" "What's my profit?" "How much tax should I save?"

Stay in control

Nothing is saved without your say-so, and you can disconnect anytime.

Before you start, you’ll need: an active KiwiBooks subscription, and an AI assistant that supports connectors (such as Claude Code or Codex). If you already chat with one of these, you’re ready.

Connect in 3 steps

A one-time setup, about two minutes.

STEP 1

Get your connection key from KiwiBooks

Sign in to KiwiBooks and open Settings → AI Agent. Type a name you’ll recognise (like “My laptop”) and click Generate token.

You’ll see a long code starting with kb_agent_. Copy it now and keep it somewhere safe. For your security it’s only shown once. Think of it like a password.

STEP 2

Give the key to your assistant

KiwiBooks shows you a ready-made command on that same screen. Copy it, paste it into your AI assistant, and run it. It looks like this (your key goes where the example code is):

Paste this into your assistant
claude mcp add kiwibooks --transport http \
  https://app.kiwibooks.ai/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer kb_agent_your_key_here"

That’s the only technical step. It simply tells your assistant how to reach your KiwiBooks account.

STEP 3

Just start talking

That’s it. You’re connected. Now ask your assistant about your books in everyday language, the same way you’d ask a bookkeeper. See the examples below for ideas.

Try saying…

Talk to your assistant naturally. Here are real examples to get you started. Tweak the wording however you like.

Ask about your business

Instant answers. These never change anything.

  • “How much did I spend on software this year?”
  • “Show me my profit and loss for 2026.”
  • “How much should I set aside for taxes?”
  • “Which invoices haven't been paid yet?”

Do the bookkeeping

Your assistant asks you to confirm before anything is saved.

  • “Record this receipt as a business expense.”
  • “Import the transactions from this bank statement.”
  • “Add a new client called Acme Corp.”
  • “Create a $500 invoice for Acme Corp.”
Example: a receipt

What happens when you say “record this receipt”

  1. 1
    You share the receipt

    Point your assistant at a photo or PDF of the receipt on your computer.

  2. 2
    It reads the details

    Your assistant pulls out the date, amount, and merchant. You don't type anything.

  3. 3
    You confirm

    It shows you what it's about to save ("$4.50 coffee at Blue Bottle") and waits for your OK.

  4. 4
    KiwiBooks saves it

    The expense is recorded and the original receipt is attached to it, ready for tax time.

Your money is safe

You stay in control

  • It only sees your books

    Your connection key reaches your own KiwiBooks data and nothing else.

  • You approve every change

    Before anything is created or edited, your assistant shows you exactly what and waits for your OK.

  • Everything is logged

    Every change made through your assistant is recorded, so there's always a trail.

  • Disconnect anytime

    Remove a key from Settings → AI Agent and the connection stops immediately.
