Frequently Asked Questions

How much can we actually save on invoice processing costs?
Automation can significantly reduce costs, dropping the price per invoice from roughly $40 down to approximately $3. Additionally, you can see processing times decrease from an average of 16.3 days to just 3.8 days.
I've heard AI can 'hallucinate' numbers—how do you ensure my financial data is actually accurate?
We prioritize specialized Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) over general-purpose LLMs to ensure precise numerical extraction. This approach targets an error rate of less than 0.5%, which is a massive improvement over the 39% error rate often found in manual processing.
How does the AI know when to send an invoice if our projects are based on milestones?
The AI Employee uses event-driven automation via APIs and webhooks to integrate directly with your project management systems. This allows it to automatically trigger and send invoices the moment a fabrication milestone is marked as complete.
What happens if the AI makes a mistake? Can I review everything before it goes out?
Yes, we implement a 'Human-in-the-Loop' validation phase where the AI saves draft invoices to a review folder for your approval. This allows you to verify accuracy and build trust in the system during the initial deployment.
Is this just another subscription-based SaaS tool that won't talk to my current systems?
Unlike generic SaaS tools, AIQ Labs builds custom, production-ready systems that integrate deeply with your existing CRM, accounting, and project management tools. Furthermore, you maintain true ownership of the systems we build, avoiding vendor lock-in.
Will this replace my entire accounting team?
The goal is to automate repetitive tasks, which can free up as much as 80% of staff time for higher-value strategic work. In some documented cases, automation has helped reduce staffing needs from five full-time employees to just one part-time employee.
