Deterministic engines

## The arithmetic is done by rules, not by AI

The AI's job is to understand your question and find the right records. The numbers come from deterministic engines: fixed calculations that give the same answer for the same books every time, so every figure can be checked and nothing is made up.

AI does

-   Understands the question
-   Finds the right ledger or report
-   Writes the answer in plain English

Engines do

-   Every sum, balance and total
-   Matching, GST and TDS rules
-   Statements and their checks

Memory

## Closio remembers how your company works

Tell Closio something once and it remembers: what a vendor is called in your bank statement, how you book a recurring expense, or that a customer promised to pay on Friday. When that payment arrives, Closio matches it to the promise. Memory stays inside your company's account, and you can ask it to forget anything.

Corrections are saved in your exact words, so nothing is reworded on the way in.

-   _Promise_Vasant Facility Care said they'll pay ₹3,54,000 on Friday**Matched when it arrived**
-   _Preference_Book AWS invoices to Cloud hosting, every month**Remembered**
-   _Correction_“The Aster Relay bill is a deposit, not rent”**Saved in your words**

Follow-through

## Ask it to keep an eye on things

Some questions need asking every week. Set a check on a schedule, like every Monday at 10 show payables due this week, or give Closio a goal, like chasing a customer's payment, and it keeps at it and reports back.
