AI isn't a feature; it's the foundation. Digits is AI-native from day one, powered by the Agentic General Ledger™. Built for machine learning and trained on 170M+ real transactions, Digits auto-books, reconciles, and reviews continuously, then surfaces only the exceptions that need a human.
AI agents you can run or build using natural-language prompts. No public benchmarks or training details; the AI you get depends on which modules you buy.
Continuous AI Reconciliation: Digits automatically reconciles your accounts to bank statements (uploaded or connected) and flags only what needs review—so you can trust your numbers without doing the busywork.
Intercompany balancing/validation is marketed as AI-driven reconciliation, but the public details read more like rules and validation than AI doing bank-style statement reconciliation.
Ask Digits—purpose-built for accounting. One ledger-native assistant built into everything. It understands your real financial data and answers questions directly—not a chat layer sitting on top of reports.
Pre-built and custom AI agents you can run or build with prompts. Positioned as workflow automation inside the ERP, not a single ledger Q&A assistant.
Clear exception flags (Missing, Date mismatch, Duplicate, Overmatched) plus an audit trail so you can see exactly what changed and why.
AI agents surface anomalies and generate flux/variance explanations, but public pages don’t spell out standardized exception flags.
As soon as statements arrive (uploaded or auto‑fetched), the reconciliation draft is automatically generated; you finalize in a few clicks.
AI can assist with close tasks (reconciliations + flux analysis), but the close is still driven by finance workflows (journals, validation, posting).
AI does the routine work, you supervise the exceptions. Most activity is auto-booked; anything uncertain is surfaced for targeted review—so teams move from "preparing" the close to approving it.
Control comes from ERP guardrails—traceability, validation checks, and audit-ready reporting (including ASC 606). AI is positioned as an assistive tool; teams still review and approve outputs.
Minimal ongoing effort: 24/7 AI bookkeeping and AI bank recs keep the ledger current. Drop in a statement. Digits takes it from there.
Lower effort after implementation, but not plug-and-play. Expect an ERP rollout with ongoing configuration and governance across modules, workflows, and AI agents.
More than automation. Built for scale.
If you're comparing platforms to find the best AI accounting software, don't stop at task automation. Digits' Agentic General Ledger™ is built for real-world finance teams—

May be better for:
- Teams comfortable with limited public detail on bank-statement reconciliation specifics and AI benchmarking

- Orgs okay with sales-led scoping where features vary by module and contract (not posted pricing)
