The bookkeeping AI agent you control
Dext AI Assist learns how you manage your books and suggests ways to automate repetitive bookkeeping tasks. Think of it as your AI assistant in Dext that helps reduce admin, keeps things consistent, and frees up your time to focus on your business.
Smarter bookkeeping - without the manual work
Dext already automates the heavy lifting in your bookkeeping. AI Assist takes it further by learning how you work and adapting to your decisions and context.
It picks up patterns in how you categorise transactions, apply tax rules, and manage suppliers —then suggests ways to automate even more of your day-to-day tasks.
It’s like having a bookkeeping assistant that understands exactly how your business operates.
So you spend less time on repetitive tasks and corrections, and more time focusing on growing your business.

2. AI Assist learns how you handle transactions
Our AI agent learns from your decisions, corrections and edits across documents.

5. Automation that works for you
You can also give AI Assist your own instructions to take the automation even further or adapt to new scenarios.
Here’s what AI Assist helps you automate
AI Assist helps automate the repetitive decisions and actions that slow bookkeeping down. It learns from how you work and suggests ways to apply that knowledge across future documents.
Apply automation based on context
AI Assist makes smarter decisions based on the content of the document, not just the supplier name.
Apply tax rues consistently
Helps apply the right tax treatment based on the type of transaction and your bookkeeping rules.
Remember recurring supplier patterns
AI Assist recognises how you manage specific suppliers and suggests how to automate those actions - for example suppliers that have specific due dates.
Flag items that may need attention
Flags documents that may need a second look before they’re processed.
Automate everyday bookkeeping actions
AI Assist can help with the extra actions that often slow bookkeeping down. Things like always marking an invoice that includes a specific project reference as rebillable.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL
“Before Dext Payments, I could keep clients’ ledgers up to date. But actually getting invoices paid often meant reminders, chasing, and extra admin. Now I can initiate payments as part of my weekly workflow, with clients still in control through simple approvals. It reduces complexity, saves time, and gives both me and my clients real reassurance that everything is paid properly; and suppliers stay informed too".
