This is awesome! What is your most common use case? Have you thought of competing with https://scribehow.com/ in the documentation space?

Thanks! Our most common use cases are repetitive tasks people have at work, think updating Hubspot with analytics data from an internal tool or reconciling payments between an invoicing system, a payment system and a CRM.

Haven’t done a lot with Scribe-like documentation cases. Given the pace at which this technology is developing we’re focused on making Autotab really good at the most economically valuable tasks.

How on earth does this help with reconciling payments? Can Autotab also recognize "this transaction belongs to this invoice" or does it just copy and paste all transaction and invoice data into a spreadsheet for manual reconciliation?

		Yes, Autotab can reason over the state of applications and the data it is seeing. You can also teach it to do certain steps only in specific cases. If you wanted Autotab to reconcile payments you would teach it to go to wherever the payments are listed eg a banking app. There you would have it iterate through the unreconciled payments. For each payment you’d have Autotab go to the invoicing tool and look up any details from the payment (eg IBAN, information from the reference number, amount, etc) to find the matching customer and invoice. This is where most of the reasoning happens - you can teach Autotab what counts as sufficiently close to be a match with prompts and examples. Then you can have Autotab mark the invoice as paid and go back to the payment app and mark the payment with the invoice number it grabbed from the matched payment.
