longbook

What your AI can do in longbook

Once connected, your AI uses longbook's tools. Every number comes from the same engine the apps use, in each currency, never converted.

It can read

  • the next payment, and what is due soon
  • cash flow over any dates
  • your commitments and your charges
  • spending by category, by account and by person
  • your accounts, people and categories
  • a search across everything
  • the longbook guide, so it knows the format

On your computer it can also read the bank statements in your documents folder and the monthly reports longbook drew, with their comments.

It can write

  • add commitments and charges
  • change a commitment, mark a charge paid, remove charges
  • cancel a commitment
  • leave a note on a card (see "Notes from your AI")

Every write is checked against longbook's format. It can't hold a card number, a CVV, an expiry, a PIN or a password. Writes land in Proposals with the AI's name, to keep or undo.

Questions

Can it see my bookmarks?

No. Bookmarks aren't part of what the server shares.

Does it need my bank login?

No. longbook never connects to a bank, and your AI doesn't need one.

What should I ask it?
