AI agents we build for Xero

Every AI agent for Xero is scoped to a specific, high-volume finance workflow — the places where judgement and repetition both live.

Invoice Triage AI

Reads inbound bills and supplier invoices, extracts line items, applies GL codes and matches to POs in Xero. Routes edge cases to a human.

Debtor Follow-Up AI

Monitors Xero AR aging, drafts context-aware follow-up emails at 7, 14 and 30 days, and logs responses back against the invoice.

Bill Coding AI

Learns your chart of accounts and tracking categories, codes recurring supplier bills automatically and flags anomalies for review.

BAS Prep AI

Reviews GST coding across the period, flags inconsistent treatment, pre-fills BAS workings and generates a reviewer-ready summary.

Payday Super Reconciliation AI

Reconciles pay run super entitlements against payment confirmations for payday super compliance, flags mismatches and drafts remediation.

Custom Xero AI Agents

Bespoke AI agents for your workflows — supplier onboarding, purchase approval, month-end reviews, board-pack prep.

AI agent for Xero — pilot first, scale what works

Most finance teams don't need ten AI agents. They need one that reliably handles a high-volume, low-judgement workflow — and then another. We ship one Xero AI agent at a time, prove ROI within 6–8 weeks and expand from there. No AI transformation theatre, no premature multi-agent orchestration.

  • Xero AI agent development on the real Xero API, not a screen-scraping shortcut
  • Human-in-the-loop controls by default — the agent proposes, humans approve
  • Full audit trail of every agent action, linked back to the Xero record
  • Australian-hosted LLM options where data residency matters
  • Pilot-first delivery — prove ROI on one agent before expanding
  • Managed operations so the agent stays accurate as your chart of accounts evolves

Payday super + AI — why this one matters right now

Payday super is changing the rhythm of Australian payroll and superannuation. Instead of quarterly batching, super entitlements need to be paid every pay cycle — and reconciled. For finance teams this means more frequent reconciliation work, more chance of mismatches, and a smaller window to fix them.

An AI agent sitting between Xero payroll, your clearing house and the super fund statements reconciles every pay run, flags mismatches with explanations, and drafts remediation. Finance reviews exceptions instead of the whole batch. That's a high-leverage use case for Xero AI agent development today. Full context in our payday super guide.

FAQ

Xero AI agent questions

What is a Xero AI agent, concretely?
An AI agent for Xero is a persistent workflow that reads data from Xero via API, reasons about it with a language model, and either takes action in Xero or routes the work to a human for approval. Unlike a one-shot automation, an AI agent handles ambiguity — messy inbound invoices, unusual supplier patterns, edge-case reconciliations — where deterministic automation would fail.
Will the AI agent post to Xero without oversight?
Only where you explicitly authorise it. Our default is human-in-the-loop — the AI agent prepares the work (drafts the bill, codes the lines, proposes the follow-up email), and a person approves. As confidence builds on specific flows, customers often move lower-risk actions to auto-approve with sample review.
Can you build a Xero AI agent for payday super reconciliation?
Yes. With payday super reforms in force, we're seeing strong demand for AI agents that reconcile pay run super entitlements against clearing house payments, flag mismatches and draft remediation for the payroll team. This typically runs alongside Xero payroll and Employment Hero or KeyPay.
How is Xero AI agent development priced?
Pilot from $5,000–$8,000 for a single agent in production within 6–8 weeks. Multi-agent programs from $20,000/month managed. We don't sell agent licences — you own the workflow and the agent runs on your infrastructure or ours, your choice.
What data leaves my business?
You choose. Australian-hosted LLM options are available for customers who need strict data residency. Otherwise we use commercial LLMs with enterprise data policies (no training on your data, region-pinned). Every agent action is logged and auditable.
Which finance teams get the most value from Xero AI agents?
Finance teams spending hours a week on low-judgement coding and chasing work. Typical wins: 30–60% reduction in bill entry time, 20–40% faster AR follow-up cycles, and BAS prep going from days to hours.
