ARTIFI · THE FINANCE OPERATING SYSTEM · INSIDE CLAUDE

The operating system for finance.
You run it inside Claude.

Not another ERP app. Artifi is the AI-native operating layer for agent-operated finance: your team runs AR, AP, payroll, VAT, and month-end close by talking to Claude. Agents do the work; the governed ledger keeps you in control.

Traditional ERP makes you fill forms. AI-native ERP puts the AI inside its own app. Artifi puts it inside Claude — where your team already works.

THE LEDGER IN NUMBERS

target automation rate for transaction entry

Our north star is to remove manual transaction input from company finance.

Agents collect documents, read bank activity, classify transactions, validate business logic, and draft ledger impact. Humans approve exceptions, controls, and sensitive writes.

THE PROBLEM

Finance stacks look modern. The ERP underneath still works like it is 1999.

Companies have added expense tools, card platforms, bill OCR, bank feeds, workflow automations, and point AI agents. But most of that sits around a form-driven system of record. Data still moves across tools, exceptions still land in spreadsheets, and people still reconcile, approve, and post the final accounting truth.

The problem is not a lack of SaaS tools. The problem is the missing governed layer that turns finance work into controlled ledger outcomes.

HOW IT WORKS

Claude is the interface. Artifi is the control layer.

Artifi combines a conversational interface with controlled finance workflows, plugin-based business logic, approval gates, and a real ledger underneath.

Request
Agent
Workflow
Approval
Ledger
01

Work starts in Claude, email, or a schedule.

A user asks for a report, a supplier sends a bill, a bank feed imports, or a recurring close job starts.

02

The right finance agent picks up the work.

The agent extracts data, checks context, proposes treatment, and calls only the workflows it is allowed to use.

03

Controls decide what can happen next.

Required fields, permissions, plugin validations, duplicate checks, documents, and exception rules run before anything reaches the ledger.

04

Humans approve sensitive actions.

Agents draft and recommend. Finance leads approve, request changes, or reject before posting.

05

The system records the full trail.

Transactions, documents, tool calls, approvals, and agent activity stay attached to the accounting record.

CONTROL AND TRUST

Agents act only through governed tools.

Finance automation only works if control is built in. Agents cannot randomly change accounting data. They operate through approved workflows, permissions, validations, plugins, approval rules, and audit logs.

FAQ · THE SHORT ANSWERS

Questions, answered.

What is Artifi?

Artifi is the AI-native ERP your finance team operates inside Claude — instead of clicking through another web app. It pairs Claude and AI agents with a real double-entry, multi-entity, multi-currency ledger and the accounting logic to use it safely. Agents propose entries and workflow actions; humans approve what reaches the ledger, with a full audit trail.

How does Artifi work with Claude?

Artifi connects to Claude as an MCP server and ships its accounting logic as Claude Plugins and Skills. You ask for finance work in plain language. Claude and agents execute governed workflows, plugin logic validates the treatment, and Artifi records approved actions in the ledger with controls, approvals, and an audit trail.

What can Artifi do today?

AI bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, accounts payable and receivable, payroll automation, VAT declarations, statutory filings, financial reporting, budgeting and FP&A, cost allocations, and month-end close automation. The ledger runs 46 transaction types; country logic for payroll, VAT, and annual reports ships as first-party Plugins, with 6+ banking and ERP connectors live.

Do I have to replace QuickBooks, Xero, or my existing ERP?

No — replacing it is an outcome you can choose later, not a requirement to start. Artifi offers two ways in. Option 1, the bridge: connectors sync your existing books — QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Merit — into Artifi's ledger; Claude and the agents work on that unified book while your current system stays the system of record, and you move one workflow at a time. Option 2, the replacement: Artifi is your ledger and replaces the stack of separate tools around it. Every way of buying Artifi — done-for-you, run-it-yourself, or through your accounting firm — works with either option, and most companies start on the bridge.

Do I need developers to use Artifi?

No. You talk to Claude in plain language; the Plugins and agents handle the accounting automation. The logic is published as readable, open-source Plugins — so your accountant can audit it and, if you do have a technical team, they can adapt it to your policies. Neither is required to get started.

Is my financial data safe?

Each organization gets a dedicated PostgreSQL schema, making cross-tenant access structurally impossible. Claude never trains on your data per Anthropic's API policy, and Anthropic is SOC 2 Type II certified. Access uses OAuth 2.1 with role-based permissions, files live in org-scoped storage with expiring links, and every event — including agent actions — is logged with actor, timestamp, and payload.

Who is Artifi for?

Three groups. Companies that want a done-for-you finance function — agents do the work, our CPAs validate, you supervise. Finance teams and founders who want to run Artifi themselves inside Claude. And accounting firms that want to operate Artifi across their client book, with their own rules and margins.
