@manton The AI is great for taxes, and financial stuff. I use PocketSmith’s API to pull down everything locally and then just build apps and dashboards. With taxes, it’s so fast to just download all the info and have it search and fill out things for you. To build confidence in its output, I had it create and audit log (just a spreadsheet) that linked every field in a document to the original source (all those PDFs of statements, CSV files, screenshots, ledger, etc.)
