Without categories, transactions are just noise

A list of operations "payment 3400", "transfer 12000" says nothing until sorted into categories: rent, purchases, salaries, ads. Categorization is the foundation of all financial analysis. It used to take hours by hand; now AI sorts fast and you check.

AI sorts operations into categories, but a human checks the ambiguous ones.

How AI categorizes

AI looks at the operation description, recipient, amount, regularity and assigns a category. "Payment to Romashka LLC, monthly, 50000" to likely rent. "Uber" to transport. It handles most operations automatically, saving a lot of time.

Help me sort my business expenses into categories and compute shares. Here are the operations: rent 50000, social ads 30000, salaries 200000, goods purchase 150000, service subscriptions 15000, coffee and lunches 8000.
Categories and shares (total 453000):\nā€” Salaries: 200000 (44%) ā€” the main line.\nā€” Goods purchase: 150000 (33%).\nā€” Rent: 50000 (11%).\nā€” Ads: 30000 (7%).\nā€” Service subscriptions: 15000 (3%).\nā€” Other (coffee, lunches): 8000 (2%).\nTakeaway: 77% of spending is salaries and goods, the core. Ads 7% ā€” check if it pays off. Subscriptions 15000 ā€” worth reviewing which are needed. Verify that everything is assigned correctly.

Ambiguous operations under human control

AI confidently sorts the typical but stumbles on the ambiguous: an unclear transfer, a "shared" operation (part personal, part business), a non-standard recipient. Check these by hand ā€” in finance a wrong category distorts the whole analysis and, more importantly, can create reporting problems.

A consistent category system

Set up a clear set of categories and stick to it month over month. Then you can compare periods and see the dynamics. Ask AI to help build a category system for your business and hold to it. Chaotic categories make analysis meaningless.

Rule: AI categorizes fast, but check ambiguous operations yourself. A consistent category system month over month makes analysis meaningful.
